Document Recomposition

Document recomposition is a process that reconstructs OCR output documents so they retain the layout of their originals.  As part of the process, the OCR engine analyzes the image and identifies text, pictures, and layout.  It uses this information to then recompose the document so it looks like its original.

If implemented in your program, recomposition is available only when the output format is set to Word for Windows/RTF, WordPerfect, or HTML.

The following conditions exist:

• When the output format is set to Word for Windows/RTF or WordPerfect, the OCR engine can be set to provide full document recomposition.
  
  
• When the output format is set to HTML, the OCR engine does not provide full document recomposition.  The OCR engine can be set so that original documents containing pictures are recomposed, with the pictures appearing in their original positions; however, original multi-column documents are recomposed as single-column documents.

Note: OCR processing is available with Imaging for Windows Professional Edition V1.0, V1.1, and V2.0 only.
