On-the-fly editing
This allows you to modify a recognized page through re-zoning,
without having to re-process the whole page. When on-the-fly
editing is enabled, zone changes (deleting, drawing, resizing,
changing type) immediately make changes in the recognized page.
Conversely, when you modify elements in the Text Editor’s True
Page formatting level, this changes the zones on that page.
