When you are done exporting your documents and you want to start a new project, click New on the top
toolbar.
This command erases your documents from Readiris.
Select the Output Format
The documents you process with Readiris can be saved in a large number of output formats, ranging from
plain text files to fully formatted Word processing and Spreadsheet files, and PDF files. With Readiris you
can also turn Image PDFs - in which you cannot select or copy any text - into fully text-searchable PDF
documents.
To access the available Output Formats:
 Click Export Options on the top toolbar.
 Drag the required output format from the Others list to the Favorites list.
 Click OK to save the settings.
In the following topics you find an overview of the supported output formats. For each of these output
formats, specific layout options are available.
PDF
PDF stands for "Portable Document Format". It is a format developed by Adobe Systems Inc. to facilitate
document exchange. PDF files are device-independent and resolution-independent, and can be opened on
any Operating System (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iOS, Android, etc.) PDF files are mostly used for storage
purposes. Note that the content of PDF files cannot be edited (easily).
