You only have to change the area type if Finereader chose it wrong automatically. These are pretty much the only 3 you're ever going to see:
- Text (Green)
- Table (Blue)
- Picture (Red)
If Finereader misses marking a box around some text, like a tricky header/footer or a caption, you can click on the
Draw Recognition Area box and manually create your own:
Once you run OCR on that page, it'll automatically resize the box and convert into one of the above 3 types.

Probably when you have a transparent image behind the text or some sort of watermark.
I've never seen this in the wild or even work correctly, but I almost exclusively work on books + B&W. Maybe it's more prevalent in business documents and color.
