Readiris 16 - User Guide

Note: any recognition mistakes will be visible in this format.

o PDF Text (Readiris Corporate only). This file type contains the recognized text, but does

not contain the original image of your document. Any images in the original document are

included as graphics in the PDF file.

Note: many options are available for PDF files. Readiris can generate hyper-compressed PDF files,

password-protected PDF files, digitally signed PDF files, PDF/A-compliant PDF files. See the section

Selecting the PDF Options for more information.

Tip: with Readiris you can also turn Image PDFs into text-searchable PDFs.

 XPS

XPS stands for XML Paper Specification. It is a fixed-layout document format designed by Microsoft

Inc. to preserve document fidelity. XPS files - just like PDF files - are mostly used for storage

purposes. Note that the content of XPS files cannot be edited (easily).

With Readiris you can generate 4 types of XPS files:

o XPS Image-Text. This file type is most commonly used. It contains two layers: the

recognized text, and the original image on top of the text. This way, you have both access to

the recognized text and you still see the original image.

Note: since the image covers the text, any recognition mistakes will not be visible.

o XPS Image. When you select this file type, Readiris doesn't execute the text recognition on

your document. Your XPS file will not be text-searchable, it only contains the image of your

original document.

o XPS Text-Image (Readiris Corporate only). This file type is the opposite of XPS Image-

Text. It contains the original image in the background, and the recognized text on top of the

image.

Note: any recognition mistakes will be visible in this format.

o XPS Text (Readiris Corporate only). This file type contains the recognized text, but does

not contain the original image of your document. Any images in the original document are

included as graphics in the XPS file.

Note: Readiris can also generate hyper-compressed XPS documents. See the section Selecting the

XPS Options for more information.

 RTF

RTF stands for "Rich Text Formatting". It is a free document file format developed by Microsoft Inc.

to facilitate document exchange. Most text processors, such as Microsoft Word, are able to read and

write RTF documents.

Again many levels of lay-outing are available. See the section Selecting the Formatting Options

for more information.

 DOCX

DOCX is the standard text processor format used since Microsoft Word 2007. This file format is

based on the XML (extensible markup language) format.

The same layouting options are available as for DOC and RTF documents. See the section Selecting

the Formatting Options for more information.

 DOC

Doc was the standard format used up Microsoft Word 2003.
