You draw zones on the current page image in the Page Image
panel using tools in the Image toolbar.
Rectangular zones are the most common. You can create irregular-shaped
zones for all zone types except for tables and for vertical text zones.
You can make irregular zones by addition or by subtraction. You can join
and split zones, resize or delete zones. Expanding and replacing one or
more zones are also allowed.
To draw a regular zone
|
|
|
for text |
|
|
|
for vertical left-rotated text |
|
|
|
for vertical right-rotated text |
|
|
|
for vertical Asian text |
|
|
|
for table |
|
|
|
for graphics |
|
|
|
for form |
|
|
|
for process zones |
|
|
|
for ignore zones |
In the following examples, a red arrow pointing from A to
B indicates the newly-drawn zone.
To create an irregular zone by addition
|
existing zone + new zone |
resulting zone |
|
|
|
To create an irregular zone by subtraction
|
existing zone
on an ignore background |
resulting zone |
|
|
new
ignore
zone
|
|
To join two zones of the same zone type
|
two existing
graphic zones |
|
resulting zone |
|
|
new
graphic
zone
|
|
To split a zone
|
existing text zone
on a process
background |
|
resulting zones |
|
|
new
process
zone
|
|
Expanding and replacing one or more zones
In this example, the larger graphic zone will replace the
existing smaller one.
In this example, all smaller zones will be replaced by one
large process zone drawn to enclose them completely.
To replace a zone part
|
existing zone |
|
new zone remains, |
|
|
existing zone is reshaped |
|
|
new zone
with a different
zone type
|
|
A zone drawn over part of a zone of a different type seems
to overlap it, but in fact the new zone replaces the overlapped part of
the existing zone. You can see this is so if you move the newly drawn
zone aside.
To resize a zone
Select a zone by clicking either
with a zone drawing tool or with the Select
zone tool 
Move the cursor to a side or
corner, catch a handle and drag it to the desired location.
To delete a zone
Select a zone by clicking either
with a zone drawing tool or with
Click the Del
button or choose Clear from the
Edit menu or from the shortcut menu.
Zoning vertical text
Asian text is usually best left to auto-zoning, but if you
need to zone it manually, use the following:
Simple
horizontal text zone for horizontal Asian text
Vertical
Asian text zone for vertical Asian text
Non-Asian vertical text can in many cases be auto-detected,
but if you need to zone it manually, use the following:
For
vertical left-rotated text
For vertical
right-rotated text
Here are examples of these:
[add a picture - it exists already under OP17
local]
Vertical text inside table cells cannot be zoned manually;
use auto-zoning for this. Auto-zoning
cannot detect multiple lines of vertical text in scanned pages or those
coming from image files – use manual zoning.
