Readiris 15 - User Guide
54
Columnized texts are easier to edit than documents containing multiple frames:
the text flows naturally from one column to the next.
Note: should Readiris be unable to detect columns in the source document, then
frames are still used as substitute solution.
Tip: use this option when generating Word documents.
 The option Insert column breaks inserts a hard column break at the end of each
column, which maintains the format of the text. Any text you edit, add or remove,
remains inside its column; no text flows automatically across a column break.
Tip: disable this option (Insert column breaks) when you have body text that
contains columns. You'll ensure the natural flow of the text from one column to
the next.
 The option Add image as page background places the scanned image as page
background beneath the recognized text.
Note: this option increases the file size of the output files substantially.
The format PDF Text-Image modifies PDF files in the same manner.
To avoid the file increase discussed above, select the option Maintain colors of
background. This provides a similar but less drastic, more compact alternative.
 The option Merge lines into paragraphs enables automatic paragraph detection.
Readiris wordwraps the recognized text until a new paragraph starts, and reglues
hyphenated words at the end of a line.
 The option Include graphics includes images in your output documents.
Clear this option in case you only need lay-outed text.
 The option Maintain colors of text keeps the original color of the text in your source
documents.
 The option Maintain colors of background recreates the background color of each
document.
Layout Options (Spreadsheet Documents)
The following Layout Options are available when you select .XLSX as output format from the Format
group.
Worksheet:
 The option Create one worksheet per page sees to it that one worksheet is created per
scanned page.
If a page contains tables and text, all is placed inside the same worksheet.
 The option Create one worksheet per table places each table in a separate worksheet and
includes the recognized text (outside the tables) in another worksheet.
If the document being processed contains more than one page, each page will be
processed in the same manner.
