Ignore Headers & Footers in PDF when scanning in ABBYY
I currently have a PDF document which I am scanning using ABBYY. Unfortunately this document has headers and footers which I would prefer not to include in my final document.
Is there any way I can force ABBYY to ignore these without having to remove them manually from each page? Many thanks, |

Another option is to crop the PDF first, to remove the headers & footers. You can do this with Acrobat Pro, if you have it; there may be free or cheap software that crops PDFs to your choice of settings instead of just removing white space, which won't help. If you load the cropped pages in to ABBY, the headers & footers will be gone. When those aren't pratical, for whatever reasons, I just work at being fast with manual zoning. And it's a pain. |
