Kofax Enhanced PDF Image On Text Output Format Window

When the recognition profile is set to Kofax Enhanced PDF Image On Text, use this window to configure PDF output preferences.

PDF Compatibility

Select the PDF compatibility level for the output file.

  • Auto (default): Provides the output with either optimized quality or accuracy, depending on the selection of the Performance vs. Accuracy setting.

  • PDF 2.0

  • PDF 1.7

  • PDF 1.6

  • PDF 1.5

  • PDF 1.4

  • PDF 1.3

  • PDF 1.2

  • PDF 1.1

  • PDF 1.0

  • PDF/A-3a compliant: Permits the embedding of another PDF/A file or a binary file format (such as XML or Microsoft Office) within the PDF/A file. Satisfies the requirements in the ISO 19005-3 specification. Otherwise, the same as PDF/A-2a.

    Note With PDF/A-3a compliance, only the PDF/A file, rather than any embedded file, should be considered for archiving purposes.

  • PDF/A-3b compliant: Offers the same level of compliance as PDF/A-2b and allows file inclusion in the PDF document. The attachments can be kept in their original form, such as .xls files (/Excel).

  • PDF/A-3u compliant: Offers the same level of compliance as PDF/A-3a, and adds the ability to extract text in Unicode.

  • PDF/A-2a compliant: Offers the same level of compliance as PDF/A-1a, and adds support for JPEG 2000 compression to generate reduced file sizes. Satisfies the requirements in the ISO 19005-2 specification. Readable by any PDF reader that conforms to PDF 1.7.

  • PDF/A-2b compliant: Offers the same level of compliance as PDF/A-1b and adds new features of the PDF 1.7 version.

  • PDF/A-2u compliant: Offers the same level of compliance as PDF/A-2a, and adds the ability to extract text in Unicode.

  • PDF/A-1b compliant: Offers the same level of compliance as PDF/A-1a and satisfies the minimal requirements in the ISO 19005-1 specification.

  • PDF/A-1a compliant: Supports long-term storage of digital documents and fully satisfies the requirements in the ISO 19005-1 specification. Readable by any PDF reader that conforms to PDF 1.4, or later.

Page Content

Select the structure of the PDF pages generated by the PDF Image + Text recognition engine:

  • Text Over Image: The recognized text is saved over the entire page image. The entire image is saved as a bitmap; however, text areas are saved as text (with full text search capability) over the bitmap. With this option, you can select and copy any of the text.

  • Text Under Image: The recognized text is saved under the entire page image. This is the default selection. The entire image is saved as a bitmap; however, text is placed beneath it. This option is useful if you export your text to document archives: the full page layout is retained and full text search is available. You can select and copy from the underlying text. This option tends to produce the largest output file among these three choices.

Picture Settings

Resolution

Set the resolution of the images for the PDF document being saved as an output file. You can select from the following output resolutions in dots per inch:

  • Original

  • 72

  • 100

  • 150

  • 200

  • 300

Note If necessary, you can improve image quality results by increasing the resolution setting from the default resolution. The maximum setting that can be implemented is equal to the original image resolution value. For example, if the original image resolution of the scanned page is 200 dpi and the resolution is set to 300 dpi, the image resolution of the output file is 200 dpi rather than 300 dpi.

Black and white image format

Specify the format for black and white images:

  • JBIG2 (default)
  • CCITT4

Color and grayscale image format

Specify the format for color and grayscale images:

  • JPEG2000 (default)
  • JPEG

Color image quality

Specify the quality of color and grayscale images. The quality level will impact the size of the output file.

  • Minimal (default)
  • Good
  • Lossless

Security Settings

Enable encryption

Select this check box to use the 256-bit AES algorithm for encrypting the metadata in the PDF output file. By default, this check box is not selected.

Protection password

You can provide a protection password for the PDF output file. Use the password to manage the level of access to the PDF file.

If you use this functionality, you can add the following features by selecting the check boxes:

  • Allow to copy and extract: Select this check box to allow copying and extracting the contents of the document after the protection password is entered.
  • Allow to modify document: Select this check box to allow modifying the document after the protection password is entered.
  • Allow to print document: Select this check box to allow printing the document after the protection password is entered.

Retype password

Use this field to retype the protection password for security purposes.

Linearize document (Fast web view)

Select this check box to optimize the PDF file to ensure an efficient web display.

Add tags to document

Select this check box to allow adding tags to the output file.

Note If the PDF compatibility setting is configured to be PDF/A compatible, this option is not available.

Embed recognized text fonts

Select this check box to embed recognized text fonts to the output file.

Note If the PDF compatibility setting is configured to be PDF/A compatible, this option is not available.

Image Compression

Select an image compression profile from the list.
