When to Use OmniPage
Your PDF Professional program offers a powerful built-in OCR, similar to that in OmniPage 17.
However, there can be advantages in using this Nuance® OmniPage® Optical Character Recognition (OCR) program if you want more control over the OCR process.

The four formatting levels offered for saving in OmniPage are:
1. Flowing Page
The pages retain the layout of the originals. Graphics and framed elements are placed in text boxes. Whenever possible, other text is transferred without using text boxes. PDF Professional offers this under the name Flowing Column. See Standard Document.
2. True Page
The pages retain the layout of the originals, but all elements are placed in text boxes, including text in columns. PDF Professional offers this formatting. See Standard Document.
3. Formatted Text
Text is decolumnized, but text attributes, graphics and tables are retained.
4. Plain Text
Text is decolumnized and rendered as plain text. Graphics and tables are retained, but not in their original locations. This option is convenient for users who want to reformat the content.
