Opening a Batch

ABBYY FineReader automatically creates a new batch at startup.

Note: To tell ABBYY FineReader to open the last open batch at startup, check Open last batch at startup on the General tab of the Options dialog (Tools>Options).

To open another batch:

1. Select the Open Batch in the File menu or click the Open Batch button (). The Open Batch dialog will open.
2. Select the appropriate folder in the Open Batch dialog.
   When you open a batch, ABBYY FineReader automatically closes and saves the previous batch. Prior to exiting the program, save any new batch that might be needed in the future.

Batches can be opened directly from Windows Explorer:

• Right-click the batch folder (represented by the icon) and select the Open with ABBYY FineReader item in the local menu. ABBYY FineReader will launch and open the chosen batch.
