About Processing Modes and Options

Processing Modes

There are four processing modes you can choose from. Select a processing mode on the basis of the characteristics of your document type to be converted.

To select a processing mode use the Options menu or the drop-down list of the Mode tool. This tool may have any of the following appearances on the toolbar. It displays the currently set conversion mode. On program restart, it displays the last-used mode.

Appearances of the Mode tool	Processing modes	Characteristics of the document type
	Standard Document	The pages have body text and maybe titles, columns, tables and pictures. E.g. business letters, newspaper articles.
	Legal	The pages have single-column text, and might contain pleading numbers in the left margin.
	Spreadsheet	The pages contain mainly tables or spreadsheets (with a tabular layout). E.g. financial sheets, inventories.
	Form	The pages have spaces, edit boxes, comb boxes, checkmarks and similar elements for collecting information. E.g. application forms

For advice on choosing the best mode for your needs, see Choosing the Processing Mode.

Note

The selected processing mode may automatically be changed by the program if you select an output format which is not supported by the selected processing mode. The program keeps the processing mode and the output format synchronized.
