The formatting levels are:
Plain Text
This exports plain decolumnized left-aligned text in a
single font and font size. When exporting to Text or
Unicode file types, graphics and tables are not
supported. You can export plain text to nearly all file
types and target applications; in these cases graphics,
tables and bullets can be retained.
Formatted Text
This exports decolumnized text with font and
paragraph styling, along with graphics and tables.
This is available for nearly all file types.
Flowing Page
This keeps the original layout of the pages, including
columns. This is done wherever possible with column
and indent settings, not with text boxes or frames.
Text will then flow from one column to the other,
which does not happen when text boxes are used.
True Page
This keeps the original layout of the pages, including
columns. This is done with text, picture and table
boxes and frames. This is offered only for target
applications capable of handling these. True Page
formatting is the only choice for XML export and for
all PDF export, except to the file type ‘PDF Edited’.
Spreadsheet
This exports recognition results in tabular form,
suitable for use in spreadsheet applications. This
places each document page onto a separate
worksheet.
