Chapter 2 Documents in OmniPage SE OmniPage SE handles documents one at a time. When you acquire your first image (from scanner or from file) a new document is started. Further acquired images are added to the same document, until you save and close it. A document in OmniPage SE consists of one image for each document page. After you perform OCR, the document will also contain recognized text, displayed in the Text Editor, possibly along with graphics and tables. See "The OmniPage Desktop" on page 24. Basic processing steps There are two main ways of handling documents: with automatic processing or manual processing. See "Automatic processing" on page 40 and "Manual processing" on page 42. The basic steps for both processing methods are broadly the same: 1. Bring a set of images into OmniPage SE. You can scan a paper document with or without an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) or load one or more image files. The resulting images can appear as thumbnails in the Image Panel along with the image of the first page entered. The document pages are summarized in the Document Manager. See "Defining the source of page images" on page 50. 2. Perform OCR to generate editable text. During OCR, OmniPage SE creates zones around elements on the page that will be processed, and then interprets text characters or graphics in each zone. Manual and template zoning are also possible. After OCR, you can check and correct errors in the document using the OCR Proofreader and edit the document in the Text Editor. 3. Export the document to the desired location. You can save your document to a specified file name and type, place it on the Clipboard, or send it as a mail attachment. You can save it as an OmniPage Document (OPD) as described later. You can save the same document repeatedly to different destinations, different file types, with different settings and levels of formatting. See "Saving and exporting" on page 79.
