If you are processing a large number of documents with an
identical layout (e.g. forms or questionnaires), analyzing the
layout of every page will be time consuming. To save time, you can
analyze only one document in a set of similar documents and save
the detected areas as a template. Then you can use this template
for the other documents in the set.
To create an area template:
Open an image and either let
the program analyze the layout automatically or draw the desired
areas manually.
From the Areas menu, select the Save Area
Template… command. In the saving dialog box, provide a name for
your template and click Save.
Important! To be able to use an area template, you must
scan all the documents in the set using the same resolution
value.
Applying an area template:
In the Document window, select the pages you wish to
apply an area template to.
From the Areas menu, select the Load Area
Template…
In the Open Area Template dialog box, select the desired
area template (area template files have the *.blk extension).
In the same dialog box, next to Apply to, select
Selected pages to apply the template to the selected pages.
Note. Select All pages to apply the template to
all the pages in the current ABBYY FineReader document.
