This tutorial is not a replacement for the ABBYY FineReader Help File - you get to know most of the things you need to know there. But as there are a lot of ways create an OCRed PDF, I will show one way to do it fast and with good results.

Bend the book at different pages before start with page 1. Use one corner of the scanner. Below the screen of my native interface (looks different depending on the scanner/scansoftware you use/ couldn`t switch to english menu here) There is just one thing that I regularly use: Descreening at pages with images. Scanning process takes a bit longer.
native interface
Scan/Open General: I work with selected Do not read and analyze acquired pages images automatically. Sometime its more work to correct wrongly analyzed pages. If you have to edit contrast, you have to analyze layout again. Image processing: all boxed checked. (more on exceptions later) Scanner: here you find the selection between the interfaces that I mentioned earlier.
Read Training: I tried once (6 hours) to work with training a user pattern on a difficult scan that I found -> waste of time. Built-in patterns are better. Correcting errors manually takes less time. -> Use only built-in patterns If you click Fonts you can set the fonts used in recognized text (screenshot to the right)
Font Matching Finereader isnt really good at assigning the right font. I always use just one font. If there are different fonts in headlines etc., I edit that manually later (howto in the next chapter) How to find out, what font is used, where to get and how to use it, I will explain in the Font-chapter.
Save: Default paper size: Use original image size (I like the original look) Save mode: text and pictures only (no jpg text needed - we use a nice font and get a small PDF) Image Settings: I mostly work with 150DPI. There are many possibilities to set the final resolution: First at scanning, here or optimizing at Acrobat. Font settings: Its very important to embed fonts. You never know what fonts are installed at the readers computers. A good layout can be destroyed if another font is used by the reader.
View: Text window: Highlight uncertain characters and non-dictionary words (important for spell checking later.
Grey areas in the background. Move the white slider to a point where about 90% of that curve are whitened. Black slider to the beginning of the curve will look best

Using the background image area: Sometimes I like to have clear characters in schemes and diagrams. Usually you can place image and text areas side by side - sometimes you have to add and cut area parts. When they overlap you can still use background images - first draw the background image area and overlay text areas. Both is seen in the screenshot to right.

Eingangsmeditation
Wir sind still und spren doch, wie eine Wrme in uns wchst. Wir sind allein und spren doch die anderen um uns herum, die sich nach Freiheit, Wrme und Licht sehnen. Hier ist eine Form, aber sie ist leer. Hier ist Leben, aber es ist still. Hier ist Bewusstsein, und es erwacht! Aus der Stille beschwren
In a close-up we see the comparison of the original scan (above) and Bewegung. Langsam stre wir the resulting PDF (below).
cken wir die Hnde aus, dehnen uns, atmen, strecken uns und flieen. Wir beschwren das Leben und geben ihm Gestalt. Es ist ein feuriger Funke in der Zwischenwelt - zwi schen uns und anderen, zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft, zwischen dem Bekannten und dem Unbekannten. Wir bewegen uns, tanzen. Der Tanz des Lebens verzehrt all unsere ngste und Schmerzen in seinen Flammen, und Freude erfllt uns. Spren Sie, wie die Wrme dieser Freude Spannungen auflst, wie sie pulsiert, wchst, wie ihr Rhythmus uns erhebt und bewegt, heilt und beruhigt, wrmt und 13
This is the most important part and its taking 80% of the time of a project. For example i took a very difficult scan that I found on the net. Sometimes Scans have manually underlined words. To delete that, you have to select all and click two times Underline (Ctrl+u).
At the left I have the icons of the pages to know where I am (not necessary). Image window also not needed (not seen in screenshot). The Text window is as big as possible to see as much text as possible at once and font big enough to identify recognized characters. Below about 3 lines of the original scan.
I start at page 1, click into the text window and jump forward with PgDn-Key (back with PgUp). The actual cursor position is shown in the window below by a yellow rectangle with blue outline. If theres a blue marked word or character, move the cursor there and compare the content of the two windows.
The whole process may take from 5 to 15 hours. It depends on the quality of the scan and the number of pages.

If yo want to delete, move or scale an object (text line, image or background), you have to select it with this tool. The object will be marked with blue corners or outlines. (Screenshot below) You can move objects with this tool. Sometimes Finereader has layout errors, that cant be corrected there. Sometime you work on scans, where text blocks are too close to one side - you can center it with this tool. Text editing is possible with this tool from another toolbox. Dont change text, when you have embedded fonts - do that in finereader. I use this tool only for textcolor (example to the right)
"If we cannot carry our practice into sleep," Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche writes, "if we lose ourselves every night, what chance do we have to be aware when death comes? Look to your experience in dreams to know how you will fare in death. Look to your experience of sleep to discover whether or not you are truly awake." This book gives detailed instructions for dream yoga, including foundational prac tices done during the day. In the Tibetan tradition, the ability to dream lucidly is not an end in itself, rather it provides an additional context in which one can engage in advanced and effective practices to achieve liberation. Dream yoga is followed by sleep yoga, also known as the yoga of clear light. It is a more advanced practice, similar to the most secret Tibetan practices. The goal is to remain aware during deep sleep when the gross conceptual mind and the operation of the senses cease. Most Westerners do not even consider this depth of awareness a possibility, yet it is well known in Tibetan Buddhist and Bon spiritual traditions. The result of these practices is greater happiness and freedom in both our waking and dreaming states. The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep imparts powerful methods for progressing along the path to liberation.
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, a lama in the Bon tradition of Tibet, presently resides in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is the founder and director of The Ligmincha Institute, an organization dedicated to the study and practice of the teachings of the Bon tradition. He was born in Amritsar, India, after his parents fled the Chinese invasion of Tibet, and received training from both Buddhist and Bon teachers, attaining the degree of Geshe, the highest academic degree of traditional Tibetan culture. He has been in the United States since 1991 and has taught widely in Europe and America.
"A detailed guide to using our night-lives for Awakening; thought-provoking, inspiring, and lucid."Stephen LaBerge, Ph.D., author of Lucid Dreaming "This explication of the dream and sleep practices becomes a window on the entire teachings of Tibetan Tantra and Dzogchen. I enjoyed this book immensely...powerfully and beautifully presented."Martin Lowenthal, Ph.D., co-author of Opening the Heart of Compassion
