Thank you Toxaris
I have redone the EPUB conversion following your suggestion to first convert diagrams and charts into images. One step forward is that now the document opens as an EPUB with my Android e-reader ( Cool Reader) and I have gained full control of the font and the page layout. The text is fine, however charts, drawings and diagrams are still not rendered at all, which means they have not really been converted into images.. So I am back to square 1.
Here is what I did, thinking to convert charts and diagrams to images: on the IMAGE side of each page opened, there is a “ change area type “ function which allows to change the way different areas of the page are read (as text, table, picture, etc). When analyzing the pages, I kept the TEXT option for the text areas ( obviously!) but for the charts and diagrams areas I have manually selected the “ picture” option, which I thought it was the same as the term IMAGE you used in your reply, but it still doesn’t work.
I also converted to HTML, but I don’t know what to do after the conversion. I suppose the HTML conversion is an intermediary step in order to eventually get a fully functional EPUB conversion properly showing charts and diagrams…
Perhaps it is because I am still not too clear about the sequence of the ABBYY Fine Reader : first there is an OPEN button on the menu bar, which allows to open the file , then there is a READ button and then there is supposed to be an OCR function.
Well, there is no OCR button or function in the menu and also I don’t understand the difference between OPEN, READ and ANALYSE. In fact as soon as I open the document and the pages start scrolling, it says that the pages are being RECOGNIZED, so they must have been read somehow! Why then a separate READ button?
If anybody wants to lend me a helping hand, I’d more than happy to hear from you or other experts , possibly familiar with the ABBYY Fine Reader software.
Thank you
Ittiandro
