Auto-zoning vertical text
If you set Japanese, Korean or Chinese as the recognition language,

Auto-zoning detects vertical texts in non-Asian
languages in table
cells and anywhere on Normal PDF or XPS pages. Multi-line
detection is possible in these cases.
For image-only PDF and XPS files, and for all other image file or
scanner inpu

• It must be on the left or right o

Vertical texts can be viewed and edited with
a vertical cursor in the
Text Editor using True Page. In other formatting levels the text is
placed horizontally.
