General Options
The General Options are available for each output format on which Readiris does text recognition. When
you select an image output format, such as PDF Image, or TIF, for instance, the General Options are not
available. The General Options complement other options such as the Layout and SpreadsheetML Options.
Note, however, that some general options are unavailable depending on the other Formatting options you
select.
Below you find a description of what each option does and examples of real documents.
 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 pictures does exactly what it says; it 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.
Note: in a spreadsheet application, this option recreates the background color of each cell.
SpreadsheetML Options
When you select Microsoft Excel 2007, 2010 (SpreadsheetML) as output format, specific
SpreadsheetML options are available.
