CLEANING BLACK-AND-WHITE PAGES
Sometimes a page has small marks, dots, or speckles that appear on the
scanned image. For example, if you scan a newspaper article, the
newsprint may have speckles that the scanner picks up. If you want to
process a scanned text image using OCR software, the speckled pages can
slow down the performance of the software and produce poor results.
To clean a page:
1. Display the page in the Page Viewer.
2. From the Page menu, choose Clean Page.
▼ TIP: To remove heavy splotches and marks, use the Annotation
selection tool to select the marks, and then choose the Cut command
from the Edit menu. For more information, see Chapter 7,
“Annotating Items.”
