Resolution tab options
The Resolution tab controls the default resolution values available when you select Change Resolution on the Tools menu.
Default values are already set, but you can add custom resolution values or delete values. Two resolutions that do not appear here, 200 dpi and 300 dpi, do appear in the Change Resolution dialog box. These values cannot be deleted because they are the recommended values for photos and black and white images.
The range of resolution is 12 to 999,999. Click Add to add a value. Or, select a value and click Delete to delete that value.
Text tab options
The Text tab of the Preferences dialog box controls the following preferences related to text output from the optical character recognition (OCR) program.
Text Output (format)
Framed text places the text from the page into frames and | |
| attempts to recreate the page formatting as closely as possible to |
| the original. The program into which the text is placed must support |
| this type of option. |
Flowed text eliminates column and other formatting and inserts | |
| any images in the text as closely as possible to where they were in |
| the original. Flowed text is easier to edit. |
