48 TUTORIAL: PROCESSING DOCUMENTS
DEFINING THE SOURCE OF PAGE IMAGES
There are two possible image sources: from image files and from a
scanner. There are two main types of scanners: flatbed or sheetfed. A
scanner may have a built-in or added Automatic Document Feeder
(ADF), which makes it easier to scan multi-page documents. The images
from scanned documents can be input directly into TextBridge Pro or
may be saved with the scanner’s own software to an image file, which
TextBridge Pro can later open.
Input from image files
You can create image files from your own scanner, or receive them by e-
mail or as fax files. TextBridge Pro can open a wide range of image file
types; see a listing in chapter 6, File types for opening and saving images.
Image files are specified in the Load File dialog box. This appears when
you start automatic processing. In manual processing, click the Load File
button or use the Process menu. The lower part of the dialog box
provides advanced settings, and can be shown or hidden. Here it is
displayed.
This is the
current folder.
Specify the file
type(s) you want

multipage TIFF and
DCX files.

saving option: "New

Use this to add files one
by one from different
folders and to control
file order precisely.
