You can draw zones on an entire image yourself, or draw some zones and let OmniPage Pro find zones automatically on the remainder of the image for you.
You can draw zones manually using buttons in the Image toolbar. Rectangular zones are the most common, but you can also draw irregular-shaped zones for graphics and text. Only rectangular (and square) zones are allowed for tables. See drawing irregular-shaped zones and drawing table zones for more information.
Click the Zone Properties button
in the Image toolbar and select the zone type and content for the
zone you are about to draw.
Click the Draw Rectangular Zones button
in the Image toolbar.
The mouse pointer in the image view becomes a drawing tool.
Enclose an area of the image you want as a zone by holding down the mouse button and dragging the drawing tool to form a rectangular box.
Try to keep areas of text, such as paragraphs or single columns, together in the same zone.
Release the mouse button when you are done.
A number appears within the zone indicating its processing order.
Repeat these steps until you have finished drawing rectangular zones around the desired areas of the page.
NOTE: You cannot draw overlapping zones. If you attempt to draw a zone over an existing zone, the borders of the new zone will wrap around the boundaries of the existing zone when you release the mouse button.
Click the Zone Properties button
in the Image toolbar and select the zone type and content for the
zone you are about to draw.
Draw the desired zones.
Click the Original Layout and Output Format button in the Manual toolbar, or choose Recognize Current Page in the Process menu.
Click Keep current zones and find additional zones in the dialog box that appears.
OmniPage Pro will keep the current zones on the page and automatically draw zones on the remainder of the image.
TIP: If you only want to process certain areas of a page, manually draw zones around the areas you do not want processed and set the zone type to Ignore zone for those zones.
