Table grids in the image
After automatic processing you may see table zones placed on a page. They are
denoted with a table zone icon in the top left corner of the zone. To change a
rectangular zone to or from a table zone, use its shortcut menu. Y
ou can also draw table
type zones, but they must remain rectangular.
You draw or move table dividers to determine where gridlines will appear when the
table is
placed in the Text Editor. You can draw or resize a table zone (provided it stays
rectangular) to discard unneeded columns or rows from the outer edges of a table.
Using the table tools you can insert row and column dividers; move and remove
dividers. Click the Place/Remove all dividers tool to have divider
s in a table auto-detected and
placed.
You can specify line formatting for table borders and grids from a shortcut menu. Y
ou will
have greater choice for editing borders and shading in the Text Editor after recognition.
Using zone templates
A template contains a page background value and a set of zones and their properties, stored in
a file. A zone template file can be loaded to have template zones used during recognition.
Load a template file in the Layout Description drop-down list or from the Tools menu. You
can browse to network locations to load templates created by others.
When you load a template, its background and zones are placed:
• on the current page, replacing any zones already there
• on all further acquired pages
• on pre-existing pages sent to (re-)recognition without any zones.
With manual processing the template zones in the first two cases can be viewed and modified
before recognition.
With automatic processing the template zones can be viewed and modified only after
recognition.
With workflow processing, use the zone images step. This combines two steps: load templates
and manual zoning. T
o use a zone template, click the Add button in the appropriate panel of
the Workflow Assistant, and select the zone template file to use. Then make your choice
between displaying images for manual zoning; applying the zone template; or applying it and
display the images.
Templates accept ignore and process zones and backgrou
nds. They can therefore be useful to
define which parts of the pages to process with auto-zoning, and which parts to ignore.
