5.2.Compression
If you selected the TIFF format, you will be able to compress scanned images. Image
compression reduces file size.
Using different compression methods results in different data compression rates and
may result in data loss (loss of image quality). There are two factors you should consider
when choosing a compression method: the quality of images in the output file and its
size.
ABBYY FineReader lets you use the following compression methods:

· PACKBITS
Does not cause data loss and is well suited for compressing black-and-white scans.

· JPEG (JFIF format)

This method is used to compress grayscale and color images such as photographs. It
compresses images significantly, but at the cost of some data loss. This leads to
reduced image quality (blurriness and loss of color saturation).

· ZIP
Does not cause data loss and works best on images that contain large single-color
areas such as screenshots and black-and-white images.

· LZW
Does not cause data loss and works best on images with vector graphics and
grayscale images.

Background recognition
The PDF Editor allows you to search and copy text and pictures in PDF documents without a text layer,
such as scanned documents and documents created from image files. This is possible thanks to an
OCR process that runs in the background.

Background recognition is enabled by default and starts automatically when you open a PDF
document.

The background recognition process does not change the contents of the PDF file. Instead, it adds a
temporary text layer that will not be available when you open the document in other applications.

If you want to make the document searchable in other applications, you will need to save the text

layer created by the background recognition process. To do this, click the button on the toolbar
in the Document tab and select Recognize Document... from the drop-down list. See also:
Recognizing text 99 .

Important! If the search or copy functions don't work properly, check that the right OCR
languages are selected for the document. See also: Document features to consider prior to OCR 327 .

58
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

To disable background recognition, clear the Enable background recognition in the PDF Editor
option in the Options 299 dialog box.

The background recognition process cannot run on computers with a single-core processor.

Digital signature
Video: How to Sign PDFs Digitally

The PDF Editor allows you to sign documents digitally and to validate any digital signature in a
document. A digital signature is used to establish the identity of the person that signed the document.
Additionally, a digital signature can be used to make sure that a signed document has not been
altered.

To sign a document:

1. On the toolbar in the Security tab, click > Add Digital Signature....

2. Select the area where you want to place the signature or simply click the desired location.

3. Select the certificate to be used from the Sign as drop-down list. To view the properties of
a certificate, select it and click Show Certificate....

certificate, right-click it in Windows Explorer, click Install Certificate on the shortcut menu,
and follow the instructions in the Certificate Import Wizard.

4. If required, use the Reason drop-down list to specify the reason for signing the document.

signed and your contact information respectively.
In the Reason field, you can either select a value from the drop-down list or enter a
custom text.

5. The following can also be specified in a signature: the date and time of signing, signature
owner information, as well as the name and version number of the FineReader program that
was used.
You can also choose which information is displayed in the signature by unchecking the
names of fields that you do not want to be displayed.

with a timestamp requires a connection to a timestamp server. To set up a timestamp server
connection, click Set up Time Stamp Server and specify one of the following server options in the
dialog box that will appear:

· Default to use the default timestamp server.

· Custom to specify the URL of a custom timestamp server. If credentials are required to establish a

Your login and password will be encrypted and saved on your computer in a Windows storage
called Windows Credentials (Credential Manager > Windows Credentials). You will not be
required to enter your credentials when connecting to the server a second time.

The size of the new document can turn out to be greater than the specified size depending
on the contents of the PDF document (e.g. if the document contains a large number of images,
fonts, interactive forms, etc.).

c. Change the File name if needed. The names of all new documents are numerated at the end in
order to keep them unique. Enable numeration before or after the name and specify the
number of digits.

E.g. the parameters "Name: Document, Numeration: After name, Number of digits: 3" will
generate the following document names: Document001.pdf, Document002.pdf,

Closing an OCR project

· To close an OCR proj ect, click File > Close.

Splitting an OCR project into several projects

When processing large numbers of multi-page documents, it is often more practical to scan all the
documents first and only then analyze and recognize them. However, to preserve the original
formatting of each paper document correctly, ABBYY FineReader must process each of them as a
separate OCR proj ect. ABBYY FineReader includes tools for grouping scanned pages into separate
OCR proj ects.

To split an OCR proj ect:

1. Right-click anywhere in the Pages pane and select Move Pages to New OCR Project... on
the shortcut menu.

2. In the dialog box that opens, create the necessary number of OCR proj ects by clicking the
Add OCR Project button.

3. Move pages from the Pages pane to another OCR proj ect using one of the following
methods:

· Select the pages and drag them with the mouse.

You can also use drag-and-drop to move pages between OCR proj ects.

· Use the Move and Return buttons. The Move button will move the pages to the current
proj ect.

196
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

· Press Ctrl+Right Arrow to move the selected pages from the Pages pane to the current
OCR proj ect or press Ctrl+Left Arrow or Delete to move them back to their original
proj ect.

4. When you are done, click Create to create a new OCR proj ect or Create All to create all
proj ects in one go.

Tip. You can also drag-and-drop selected pages from the Pages pane into another instance of the
OCR Editor. The selected pages will be appended to the end of the OCR proj ect.

Reordering pages in an OCR project

1. In the Pages pane, select one or more pages.

2. Right-click anywhere in the Pages pane and select Reorder Pages... on the shortcut menu.

3. In the Reorder Pages dialog box, choose one of the following:

· Reorder pages (cannot be undone)

This changes all page numbers successively, starting with the selected page.

· Restore original page order after duplex scanning

This option restores the original page numbering of a document with double-sided
pages. This option is useful if you use a scanner with an automatic feeder to first scan all
the odd-numbered pages and then all the even-numbered pages. You can choose
between the normal and the reverse order for the even-numbered pages.
This option will only work if three or more consecutively numbered pages are
selected.

· Swap book pages

This option is useful if you scan a book written in a left-to-right script and then split the
facing pages without specifying the correct language.
This option will only work if two or more consecutively numbered pages are selected
and if at least two of them are facing pages.
To cancel this operation, select Undo last operation.

4. Click OK.

The pages in the Pages pane will be rearranged in accordance with their new numbers.

In Thumbnails view, you can change page numbering simply by dragging selected pages to the
desired place in the OCR proj ect.

Metadata

To make user dictionaries and languages available to multiple users:

1. Create/open an OCR proj ect and select desired scanning and OCR options for the proj ect.

2. Specify a folder where user dictionaries will be stored. This folder should be accessible to
all users.
By default, user dictionaries are stored in %Userprofile%
\AppData\Roaming\ABBYY\FineReader\16\FineReaderShell\UserDictionaries.
To specify a different folder for user dictionaries:

a. On the Areas and Text tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options...to open
this dialog box), click the User Dictionaries... button.

b. In the dialog box that opens, click the Browse... button and specify the path to your
folder.

3. Save the user patterns and languages 198 to a file (*.fbtx):

a. Click the OCR tab in the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to open this dialog
box).

b. Click Save Patterns and Languages....

c. In the Save Options dialog box, specify a folder where the file will be stored. This folder
should be accessible to all users.

4. Now other users can access the user languages and dictionaries. To do so, they need to load
the *.fbtx file you created in step 3 and specify the path to the folder with the user
dictionaries you created in step 2.
To be able to access the user dictionaries, patterns, and languages, users must have
read/write permissions for the folders where they are stored.

To see the list of available user languages and their parameters, click the OCR tab in the Options
dialog box (click Tools > Options... to open this dialog box).

When a user language is being used by several users, users can add words or delete words from the
corresponding dictionary, but they cannot change the properties of this language.

When a user dictionary is being edited by a user, other users can use this dictionary to perform OCR
and check spelling, but they cannot add or remove words.

199
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Any changes a user makes to a user dictionary will become available to all users who have selected
the folder where this dictionary is stored. For the changes to come into effect, users will need to
restart ABBYY FineReader.

If areas are detected incorrectly

ABBYY FineReader analyzes page images prior to OCR and detects different types of areas on these
images, specifically text, picture, background picture, table, and barcode areas. This analysis
determines which areas will be recognized and in what order. In the user interface, different area
types are distinguished by the colors of their borders.

If you click on an area, it will be highlighted and will become active 374 . You can also navigate areas
by pressing the Tab key. The areas' numbers determine the order in which they are selected when the
Tab key is pressed. By default, these area numbers are not visible in the Image pane, but you can view
them in the Area Properties pane of each area. Area numbers will appear on areas when the Order
Areas tool is selected.

The tools for drawing and editing areas manually can be found on the toolbar at the top of the
Image pane and on the pop-up toolbars of the text, picture, background picture, and table areas
(select an area to view its pop-up toolbar).

Once you have adj usted the position or changed the type of an area, be sure to recognize the
image again.

You can use area editing tools to:

· Create a new area 204

· Adj ust area borders 205

· Add or remove parts of areas 205

· Select one or more areas 206

· Move areas 206

Editing area properties

When performing automatic document analysis, ABBYY FineReader detects different area types on
document pages, such as table, picture, text, and barcode areas. The program also analyzes the
document structure and identifies headings and other layout elements, such as headers, footers, and
captions.

You can manually change incorrectly defined properties in some text and table areas.

1. Select an area in the Image or Zoom pane to display its properties in the Area Properties
pane. This pane displays the following editable properties:

ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

If the complex structure of a paper document is not reproduced

Before running the OCR process, ABBYY FineReader PDF analyzes of the logical structure of the
document and detects areas containing text, pictures, tables, and barcodes. The program then relies
on this analysis to identify which parts of the image need to be recognized and the order in which
they should be recognized. This information helps recreate the formatting of the original document.

By default, ABBYY FineReader PDF will analyze documents automatically. In the case of very complex
layouts, the program may occasionally make mistakes when determining the type of an area type or
locating it's borders. It is often easier to correct faulty areas manually rather than drawing all areas
anew.

Use the following tools and commands to correct areas:

· The manual area adj ustment tools on the toolbar at the top of the Image pane.

· The shortcut menu commands available by right-clicking the selected area in the Image
pane or the Zoom pane.

· Commands on the Area menu.

Make sure you recognize the document again after making the desired adj ustments, so that the
changes you have made to the areas are reflected in the recognized text.

For more information about areas, see Editing areas 204 .

OCR settings, area properties, and selected saving options also have an effect on how well the layout
of the original document is retrained. See also: OCR options 333 , Editing area properties 208 , Saving OCR
results 231 .

209
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

If you are processing a large number of documents with identical

layouts
If you are processing a large number of documents with identical layouts (e.g. forms or
questionnaires), analyzing the layout of every page will be very time consuming. To save time, you
can analyze only one document in a set of similar documents and save the detected areas as a
template. Then you can use this template for the other documents in the set.

To create an area template:

1. Open an image in the OCR Editor and either let the program analyze the layout
automatically or draw the areas manually.

2. Click Area > Save Area Template.... In the dialog box that opens, specify a name for the
area template and click Save.

To be able to use an area template, you must scan all the documents in the set using the same
resolution value.

To apply an area template:

1. In the Pages pane, select the pages to which you want to apply the template.

2. Click Area > Load Area Template....

3. In the Open Area Template dialog box, select the desired template file (*.blk/*.blkx).

4. In the same dialog box, next to Apply to, select Selected pages to apply the template to
the selected pages.

Tip. If you want to apply the template to all pages in the document, select All pages.

5. Click Open.

If your printed document contains non-standard fonts

If a document you want to recognize contains decorative fonts or special characters (e.g.
mathematical symbols), we recommend using the training mode to improve OCR accuracy.

It is not advisable to use the training mode in other cases, as the gains in OCR quality will be
insignificant compared to the time and effort you will spend on training.

In training mode, a user pattern 374 is created, which can be used when performing OCR on the entire
text.

· Using user patterns 216

· Creating and training a user pattern 216

· Selecting a user pattern 218

· Editing a user pattern 218

Using user patterns

To use a user pattern to recognize a document:

1. Click Tools > Options... to open the Options dialog box and click the OCR tab.

2. Select the Use user patterns option.

If the Also use built-in patterns option underneath the Use user patterns option is
selected, ABBYY FineReader will use its built-in patterns in addition to any user patterns you
create.

3. Click the Pattern Editor... button.

4. In the Pattern Editor dialog box, select a pattern and click OK.

5. Click the button on the main toolbar at the top of the OCR Editor window.

Creating and training a user pattern

To train a user pattern to recognize new characters and ligatures:

1. Click Tools > Options... to open the Options dialog box and click the OCR tab.

2. Select the Use training to recognize new characters and ligatures option.
If the Also use built-in patterns option underneath the Use training to recognize new
characters and ligatures option is selected, ABBYY FineReader will use its built-in patterns
in addition to any user patterns you create.

3. Click the Pattern Editor... button.

Pattern training is not supported for Asian languages.

4. In the Pattern Editor dialog box, click the New... button.

5. In the Create Pattern dialog box, specify a name for the new pattern and click OK.

6. Click OK in the Pattern Editor dialog box and then click OK in the Options dialog box.

7. Click the button in the toolbar at the top of the Image pane.
If the program encounters a character it does not recognize, the Pattern Training dialog
will open and display this character.

8. Teach the program to read new characters and ligatures.

A ligature is a combination of two or three characters that are "glued together" (for
example, fi, fl, ffi, etc.) and are difficult for the program to separate. In fact, better results
can be obtained by treating them as single compound characters.
Words printed in bold or italic type or words in superscript/subscript may be retained in
the recognized text by selecting the corresponding options under Effects.
To go back to a previously trained character, click the Back button. The frame will j ump to
its previous location and the latest trained "character image - keyboard character" pairing
will be removed from the pattern. The Back button navigates between the characters of one
word and will not navigate between words.

Important!

· You can only train ABBYY FineReader PDF to read the characters included in the alphabet of
the OCR language. To train the program to read characters that cannot be entered from the
keyboard, use a combination of two characters to denote these non-existent characters or

copy the desired character from the Insert Character dialog box (click to open this
dialog box).

217
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

· Each pattern may contain up to 1,000 new characters. However, avoid creating too many
ligatures, as this may adversely affect OCR quality.

Selecting a user pattern

ABBYY FineReader lets you use patterns 374 to improve OCR quality.

1. Click Tools > Pattern Editor....

2. In the Pattern Editor dialog box, select one of the patterns in the list and click the Set
Active button.

Some important points to remember:

1. Sometimes the program will not differentiate between very similar yet different characters
and recognize them as one and the same character. For example, the straight ('), left (‘), and
right (’) quotes will be stored in a pattern as a single character (straight quote). This means
that left and right quotes will never be used in the recognized text, even if you try to train
them.

2. For some character images, ABBYY FineReader PDF will select the corresponding keyboard
character based on the surrounding context. For example, an image of a small circle will be
recognized as the letter O if there are letters immediately next to it, and as the number 0 if
there are digits next to it.

3. A pattern can only be used for documents that have the same font, font size, and resolution
as the document used to create the pattern.

4. You can save your pattern to a file and use it in other OCR proj ects. See also: OCR
proj ects 194 .

5. To recognize texts set in a different font, be sure to disable the user pattern. To do this, click
Tools > Options... to open the Options dialog box, click the OCR tab, and select the Use
built-in patterns option.

Editing a user pattern

You may wish to edit your newly created pattern before launching the OCR process. An incorrectly
trained pattern may adversely affect OCR quality. A pattern 374 should contain only entire characters
or ligatures 374 . Characters with cut edges and characters with incorrect letter pairings should be
removed from the pattern.

1. Click Tools > Pattern Editor....

2. In the Pattern Editor dialog box, select the pattern you want to edit and click the Edit...
button.

3. In the User Pattern dialog box, select a character and click the Properties... button.

218
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

In the dialog box that opens:

· In the Character field, enter the letter that corresponds to the character.

· In the Effects field, specify the desired font effect (bold, italic, superscript or subscript).

To delete a character that has been trained incorrectly, click the Delete button in the User Pattern
dialog box.

If your document contains many specialized terms

ABBYY FineReader PDF checks recognized words against its internal dictionary. If your text contains
too many specialized terms, abbreviations or proper names, you can improve OCR quality by adding
them to a user dictionary.

1. Click Tools > View Dictionaries....

2. In the User Dictionaries dialog box, select the appropriate language and click View....

3. In the dialog box that opens, type the word you want to add and click the Add word button
(or select a word you want to delete and click the Delete button).

For details, see Supported document formats 324 .

5. Specify a file name and click Save.

Tip. When saving in TIFF, you can select the image format and compression method. Image
compression lets you decrease file size. Methods used for image compression differ by compression
rate and data loss. Two factors define the choice of compression method: the resulting image quality
and file size.

ABBYY FineReader offers the following compression methods:

· ZIP No data loss occurs. This compression algorithm is used for images containing large
sections in one color. For example, this compression algorithm is suitable for screenshots and
black-and-white images.

· JPEG This compression algorithm is used for gray and color images such as photos. This
method provides high-density compression but causes data loss and results in poorer image
quality (blurred outlines and poor color palette).

· CCITT Group 4 No data loss occurs. This compression algorithm is commonly used for
black-and-white images created in graphical programs or for scanned images. CCITT Group
4 is a commonly used compression method that is suitable for virtually all images.

· Packbits No data loss occurs. This compression algorithm is used for black-and-white scans.

· LZW No data loss occurs. This compression algorithm is used for graphic design and
grayscale images.

When saving to image-only PDF, the program uses the parameters you specified on the Format
Settings 302 > PDF tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to open this dialog box).

the order of processing operations in the OCR Editor.

1. On the toolbar, click New.

2. In the left-hand pane, choose an OCR proj ect to be used:

· Create new OCR project

If you choose this option, a new OCR proj ect will be created when you start the task. You
will also need to specify which document options to use when processing your
documents: the global options specified in the program or the options specified in this
particular task.

265
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

· Select existing OCR project

Select this option if you want the task to process images from an existing OCR proj ect.

· Use current OCR project

Select this option if you want the task to process images from the current OCR proj ect.

3. Choose how you will obtain images:

· Open image or PDF

Select this option if you want the task to process images or PDF documents from a
particular folder (you will need to specify the folder in this case).

· Scan
Select this option if you are going to scan some pages (the current scanning settings will
be used).
Note:

a. This step is optional if earlier you chose the Select existing OCR project or Use
current OCR project command.

b. If images are added to an OCR proj ect that already contains images, only the newly
added images will be processed.

c. If an OCR proj ect to be processed contains some pages that have already been
recognized and some pages that have already been analyzed, the recognized pages
will not be processed again and the analyzed pages will be recognized.

4. Add the Analyze step to detect areas on the images and configure this step:

· Analyze the layout automatically

ABBYY FineReader will analyze the images and identify the areas based on their content.

· Draw areas manually

ABBYY FineReader will ask you to draw the appropriate areas manually.

· Use an area template

Select this option if you want an existing area template 374 , to be used when the program
analyzes the document. You will need to either specify a template or choose to have the
program prompt you to select one every time the task starts. For details, see If you are
processing a large number of documents with identical layouts 210 .

5. Add an OCR step if you need the images to be recognized. The program will use the OCR
options you selected in the OCR project step.
When you add an OCR, step the Analyze step is added automatically.

6. Add an OCR step to save the recognized text in a format of your choice, e-mail the text or
images, or create a copy of the OCR proj ect. A task may include multiple saving steps:

266
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

· Save document
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, file options and the folder where
the file should be saved.
To avoid specifying a new folder each time the task is started, select Create a time-
stamped subfolder.

· Send document
Here you can select the application in which to open the resulting document.

· E-mail document
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, file options, and the e-mail address
to which the file should be sent.

· Save images
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, file options, and the folder where
the image file should be saved.
To save all images to one file, select Save as one multi-page image file (applicable
only to images in TIFF, PDF, JB2, JBIG2, and DCX).

· E-mail images
Here you can specify the name of the file, its format, file options, and the e-mail address
to which the image file should be sent.

· Save OCR project

Here you can specify the folder to which the OCR proj ect should be saved.
Specify which options the program should use to save the results. You can choose
between the global options specified in the program at the time of saving or the options
which you specified for this particular task.

7. Remove any unnecessary steps from the task by clicking the button.
Sometimes, removing one step will also cause another step to be removed. For instance,
if you remove the Analyze step, the OCR step will also be removed, as OCR cannot be
carried out without analyzing an image.

8. Once you have configured all the required steps, click Finish.

The newly created task will appear in the Tasks window.

To save an automated task, click Export on the toolbar at the top of the Automated Tasks dialog
box and specify a name and folder for the task.

Improving comparison results

ABBYY Compare Documents offers a number of additional options to achieve more accurate
document comparison. To configure these options, do one of the following:

· Click the Compare tab in the rightmost pane.

· Click Compare > Advanced.

Compare tab

278
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

This tab contains the following settings:

· Find differences in punctuation

Select this option to detect differences in punctuation and hyphenation.

· Find one-letter differences

Select this option to detect differences in spelling.

Advanced options

The following advanced options are available:

· PDF recognition mode

Selecting the right recognition mode is crucial for accurate comparison of PDF documents.
ABBYY Compare Documents offers three PDF recognition modes:

o Use Only Text from PDF

This is the default mode for PDF documents with a text layer. ABBYY Compare Documents
will use the text layer for comparison.

o Automatically Choose between OCR and Text from PDF

When this mode is selected, ABBYY Compare Documents will check the quality of the
original text layer. If the program determines the original text layer is good enough, it will
use the original text layer. Otherwise, it will recognize the document and use the resulting
text layer instead.

o Use OCR
In this mode, the program uses optical character recognition to extract text from
documents.
The documents will take longer to compare in this mode, but the comparison results will
be more reliable.
These options are intended for PDF documents that contain a text layer and pictures.
Such PDF documents are typically created by converting editable document files to PDF.
Other kinds of PDF documents, such as searchable or image-only PDF documents, do not
require any additional OCR options and are always processed in the Use OCR mode.

· Find Headers and Footers Automatically

Disable this option if the document has no headers or footers.

· Reset Advanced Options

Select this command to revert to the default settings.

279
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Viewing comparison results

The differences that the program has detected are highlighted in the two texts and are also listed
separately in the pane on the right.

Each item in the list of differences contains a deleted, inserted or edited text fragment and the
numbers of the pages where this text occurs in each document. To copy a difference to the Clipboard,
right-click it and click Copy Difference on the shortcut menu or select it and click Edit > Copy
Difference.

If a text fragment has been edited, both the old and the new versions of the fragment will be listed
in the rightmost pane.

The number of detected differences is displayed in two locations:

· On the red bar that appears at the top of the display area after you compare the documents:

· Next to the title of the Differences tab of the rightmost pane: .

When you select a difference on the Differences tab, the differing text will be displayed in both

Types of PDF documents

The features of a PDF document depend on the program in which it was created. Some PDF
documents are searchable and have text you can copy, while in other documents this only becomes
possible when you open them in special applications like ABBYY FineReader. There are three types of
PDF documents.

Image-only PDF documents

Image-only PDF documents are created from scans of hard-copy documents. They only contain the
images of pages and don't have a text layer. Image-only PDFs are not searchable, and the text they
contain cannot be modified or marked up in PDF viewing applications.

ABBYY FineReader PDF uses a special background OCR process 58 that creates a temporary text layer
in image-only documents, making it possible to search and copy their text and even edit page
images 88 . Moreover, ABBYY FineReader PDF lets you save this text layer 99 in the document so that
the text in the document can be searched and copied into other applications. See also: PDF
settings 303 .

Searchable PDF documents

Searchable PDF documents consist of the images of pages with an invisible text layer placed
underneath. Documents of this type are usually created by scanning a paper document, recognizing it,
and saving the recognized text into a text layer.

When you open a PDF document in ABBYY FineReader, it will analyze the document to determine if it
contains a usable text layer. See also: OCR options 333 . If a text layer is present, the text in the
document can be searched and copied in any PDF application. Unlike many other PDF applications,
ABBYY FineReader also lets you edit the text in searchable PDF documents.

In ABBYY FineReader, searchable PDF documents can be created by:

1. Adding a text layer 99 to an image-only PDF document.

2. Converting PDF documents and image files to the searchable PDF format. To do this, enable
the Text under the page image option in the Searchable PDF settings group of options in
the PDF format settings. See also: PDF settings 303 .

290
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

PDF documents that were created in other applications

Searchable PDF documents can be created from documents in various editable formats (such as
DOCX). Documents of this type contain a text layer and pictures, but do not contain page images.
These documents are searchable and their text and pictures can be copied and edited, provided that
such actions do not require entering a password or that the user knows the password.

PDF documents if this type can be created by:

1. Opening an editable document in the program where it was created and saving it in PDF.

2. Converting another type of PDF document or a document in another format into this type
of PDF using ABBYY FineReader (in the PDF format settings, enable the Text and pictures
only option in the Searchable PDF settings group of options). See also: PDF settings 303 .

The resulting document will be easier to edit than other types of PDF documents but may be visually
different from the original.

Scanning tips
You can set the scanning settings in the ABBYY FineReader scanning dialog box.

· Make sure that the scanner is properly connected to your computer and turn it on.
Consult your scanner documentation to ensure it is set up correctly. Be sure to install the
software provided with your scanner. Some scanners have to be turned on before turning on
the computer they are connected to.

· Try to make sure that the pages in the scanner are positioned as straight as possible. Place
your documents face down on the scanner, making sure they are properly adj usted. Skewed
images may be converted incorrectly.

· If you need to scan documents that were printed with a regular printer, use the grayscale
mode and a resolution 294 of 300 dpi for best results.
Recognition quality depends on the quality of the hard-copy document and on the settings
used for scanning the document. Poor image quality may have an adverse effect on the
quality of conversion. Be sure to select the scanning parameters appropriate for your
document 327 .

There are several ways to open the scanning interface:

· Open the New Task screen, click the Scan tab, and then click OCR Editor or another task on
this tab.

· In the OCR Editor, click the Scan button on the main toolbar.

· In the PDF Editor, click the button on the main toolbar and then click Add
from Scanner... on the menu shown below.

You can specify the following scanning settings:

Color mode
Lets you select the scanning mode: color, grayscale (the best mode for OCR) or black-and-white.

293
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Brightness
Changes the scanning brightness.

ABBYY FineReader will display a warning message during scanning if the brightness 374 setting is too
low or too high. You may also need to adj ust the brightness setting when scanning in black-and-white
mode.

The 50% setting works well in most cases.

If the resulting image contains too many "sketchy" or "thick" letters, troubleshoot using the table
below.

Image defect Recommendations

This image is suitable for text recognition.

· Lower the brightness to make the image darker.

Characters are very thin and sketchy · Use the grayscale scanning mode (brightness is
adj usted automatically in this mode).

· Increase the brightness to make the image lighter.

Characters are very thick and are stuck · Use the grayscale scanning mode (brightness is
together adj usted automatically in this mode).

Scanning resolution
Changes the scanning resolution.

Recognition quality depends on the resolution of the document image. Poor image quality may have
an adverse effect on the quality of conversion.

We recommend scanning documents at 300 dpi 374 .

For best recognition results, vertical and horizontal resolutions must be the same.

Setting the resolution too high (over 600 dpi) slows down OCR. Increasing the resolution beyond this
point does not yield substantially improved OCR results.
Setting an extremely low resolution (less than 150 dpi) adversely affects OCR quality.

You may need to adj ust the resolution of your images if:

· The resolution of your image is less than 250 dpi or higher than 600 dpi.

· If the image has a non-standard resolution.

Some faxes, for example, have a resolution of 204 by 96 dpi.

Crop Image
Lets you select a preset scanning area size or specify the scanning area manually.

294
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Multi-page document scanning options:

Specify settings for scanning multi-page documents if your scanner supports the following features:
duplex scanning, automatic document feeding (ADF), delays between automatic scans, etc.

Scanning facing pages

When you scan a book, a scanned image will typically contain two facing pages.

To improve OCR quality, images with facing pages need to be split into two separate images. ABBYY
FineReader PDF features a special mode that automatically splits such images into separate pages
within the OCR proj ect.

Follow the instructions below to scan facing pages from a book or to scan dual pages.

1. Click Tools > Options... to open the Options dialog box and then click the Image
Processing tab.

2. Select the Split facing pages option in the Image preprocessing settings (apply to
conversion and OCR) group of options.
Make sure your scans have the correct orientation or enable the Correct page orientation
option. If a scan with facing pages does not have the correct orientation (e.g. it is upside-
down), facing pages will not be split.

3. Scan the facing pages.

There are other image processing options you can specify. See also: Image processing options 331 .

You can also split facing pages manually:

1. Open the Image Editor by clicking the button on the toolbar of the Image
pane.

2. Use the tools in the Split section of the leftmost pane to split the page.

Taking photos of documents

Scanning isn't the only way to acquire images of your documents. You can photograph documents
with a camera or a mobile phone and then open the photographs in ABBYY FineReader 191 and
recognize them.

When taking pictures of documents, a number of factors should be kept in mind to make the photo
better suited for OCR. These factors are described in detail in the sections that follow:

· Camera requirements 296

· Lighting 296

· Taking photos 297

· How to improve an image 298

Camera requirements

Your camera should meet the following requirements in order to obtain document images that can
be reliably recognized.

Recommended camera characteristics

· Image sensor: 5 million pixels for A4 pages. Smaller sensors may be sufficient for taking
pictures of smaller documents such as business cards.

· Flash disable feature

· Manual aperture control, i.e. availability of Av or full manual mode

· Manual focusing

· An anti-shake (image stabilization) feature or ability to use a tripod

· Optical zoom

Minimum requirements

· Image sensor: 2 million pixels for A4 pages

· Variable focal distance

For detailed information about your camera, please refer to the documentation supplied with your
device.

Lighting

Lighting greatly affects the quality of the resulting photo.

296
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Best results can be achieved with bright and evenly distributed light, preferably daylight. On a bright
sunny day, you can increase the aperture number to get a sharper picture.

Using a flash and additional lighting sources

· When using artificial lighting, use two light sources positioned so as to avoid shadows or
glare.

· If there is enough light, turn the flash off to prevent sharp highlights and shadows. When
using the flash in poor lighting conditions, be sure to take photos from a distance of
approximately 50 cm.

We advise against using the flash when taking pictures of documents printed on glossy
paper. Compare an image with glare and a good quality image:

If the image is too dark

· Set a lower aperture value to open up the aperture.

· Set a higher ISO value.

· Use manual focus, as automatic focus may fail in poor lighting conditions.

Compare an image that is too dark with a good quality image:

Taking photos

297
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

To obtain good quality photos of documents, be sure to position the camera correctly and follow
these simple recommendations.

· Use a tripod whenever possible.

· The lens should be positioned parallel to the page. The distance between the camera and
the document should be selected so that the entire page fits within the frame when you
zoom in. In most cases, this distance will be between 50 and 60 cm.

· Even out the paper document or book pages (especially in the case of thick books). The text
lines should not be skewed by more than 20 degrees, otherwise the text may not be
converted properly.

· To get sharper images, focus on the center of the image.

· Enable the anti-shake feature, as longer exposures in poor lighting conditions may cause
blur.

· Use the automatic shutter release feature. This will prevent the camera from moving when
you press the shutter release button. The use of automatic shutter release is recommended
even if you use a tripod.

How to improve an image if:

· The image is too dark or its contrast is too low.

Solution: Try using brighter lighting. If that is not an option, try setting a lower aperture
value.

· The image is not sharp enough.

Solution: Autofocus may not work properly in poor lighting or when taking pictures from a
close distance. Try using brighter lighting. Use a tripod and self-timer to avoid moving the
camera when taking the picture.

If an image is only slightly blurry, the Photo Correction tool in the Image Editor of the OCR
Editor may help get better results. See also: If your document image has defects and OCR
accuracy is low 201 .

298
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

· A part of the image is not sharp enough.

Solution: Try setting a higher aperture value. Take pictures from a greater distance at
maximum optical zoom. Focus on a point between the center and the edge of the image.

· The flash causes glare.

Solution: Disable the flash or try using other light sources and increasing the distance
between the camera and the document.

Document features to consider prior to OCR

The quality of images has a significant impact on OCR quality. This section explains what factors you
should take into account before recognizing images.

· OCR languages 327

· Print type 328

· Print quality 328

· Color mode 329

OCR languages

ABBYY FineReader can recognize both single- and multi-language documents (e.g. written in two or
more languages). For multi-language documents, you need to select several OCR languages.

To select OCR languages, click Options 299 > Languages and select one of the following options:

· Automatically select OCR languages from the following list

ABBYY FineReader will automatically select the appropriate languages from the user-
defined list of languages. To edit the list of languages:

1. Make sure the Automatically select OCR languages from the following list option is
selected.

2. Click the Specify... button.

3. In the Languages dialog box, select the desired languages and click OK.

4. In the Options dialog box, click OK.

· Specify OCR languages manually

Select this option if the language you need is not in the list.

In the dialog box below, specify one or more languages. If you often use a particular language
combination, you can create a new group 221 for these languages.

If a language is not in the list, it is either:

1. Not supported by ABBYY FineReader, or

For a complete list of supported languages, see Supported OCR languages 317 .

2. Not supported by your version of the product.

The complete list of languages available in your version of the product can be found in
the Licenses dialog box (click Help > About > License Info to open this dialog box).

In addition to using built-in languages and language groups, you can create your own languages and
groups.See also: If the program fails to recognize certain characters 220 .

327
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Print type

Documents may be printed using various devices such as typewriters and fax machines. OCR quality
may vary depending on how a document was printed. You can improve OCR quality by selecting the
correct print type in the Options 299 dialog box.

For most documents, the program will detect their print type automatically. For automatic print type
detection, the Auto option must be selected in theDocument type group of options in the Options
dialog box (clickTools > Options...>OCR to access these options). You can process documents in full-
color or black-and-white mode.

You may also choose to manually select the print type as needed.

An example of typewritten text. All letters are of equal width (compare, for example,
"w" and "t"). For texts of this type, select Typewriter.

An example of a text produced by a fax machine. As you can see from the example,
the letters are not clear in some places. There is also some noise and distortion. For
texts of this type, select Fax.

After recognizing typewritten texts or faxes, be sure to select Auto before processing regular printed
documents.

Print quality

Poor-quality documents with "noise" (i.e. random black dots or speckles), blurred and uneven letters,
or skewed lines and shifted table borders may require specific scanning settings.

Fax Newspaper

Poor-quality documents are best scanned in grayscale 293 . When scanning in grayscale, the program
will select the optimal brightness 374 value automatically.

328
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

The grayscale scanning mode retains more information about the letters in the scanned text to
achieve better OCR results when recognizing documents of medium to poor quality. You can also
correct some of the defects manually using the image editing tools available in the Image Editor. See
also: If your document image has defects and OCR accuracy is low 201 .

Color mode

If you do not need to preserve the original colors of a full-color document, you can process the
document in black-and-white mode. This will greatly reduce the size of the resulting OCR proj ect and
speed up the OCR process. However, processing low-contrast images in black-and-white may result in
poor OCR quality. We also do not recommend black-and-white processing for photos, magazine
pages, and texts in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Tip. You can also speed up the OCR of color and black-and-white documents by selecting Fast
recognition on the OCR tab of the Options dialog box. For more about the recognition modes, see
OCR Options 333 .

For some additional recommendations on selecting the right color mode, see Scanning tips 293 .

Once the document is converted to black-and-white, you will not be able to restore the colors. To
get a color document, open a file with color images or scan the paper document in color mode.

329
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Image processing options

To customize the scanning and opening of pages in ABBYY FineReader, you can:

· enable/disable background recognition in the PDF Editor 330

· enable/disable automatic analysis and recognition 330 of pages when they are added into the
OCR Editor

· specify image preprocessing settings 331

You can select desired options either when opening a PDF document, images or scans in the New
Task Window or on the Image Processing tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to
open this dialog box).

Any changes you make in the Options dialog box will only be applied to newly scanned/opened
images.

The Image Processing tab of the Options dialog box contains the following options:

Enable background recognition in the PDF Editor

background recognition will be used for all pages you open in the PDF Editor. Background
recognition allows you to search and copy text even in documents that do not have a text layer (e.g.
documents that contain only scans or that were created from images). No permanent changes are
made to the document itself.

On this tab, you can also specify the OCR languages 327 .

If you want to enable other users to carry out text searches in this document, click File > Recognize
Document > Recognize Document....

Automatic analysis and recognition of images added into the OCR Editor

By default, pages are analyzed and recognized automatically, but you can change this behavior. The
following modes are available:

· Recognize page images (includes preprocessing and analysis)

When images are opened in the OCR Editor, they will be automatically preprocessed using
the settings selected in the Image preprocessing settings (apply to conversion and OCR)
group of settings. Analysis and OCR are also performed automatically.

· Analyze page images (includes preprocessing)

Image preprocessing and document analysis are performed automatically, but OCR has to
be started manually.

· Preprocess page images

Only preprocessing is carried out automatically. Analysis and OCR have to be started
manually. This mode is commonly used for documents with complex structures.

330
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

If you do not want the images you add to be automatically processed, clear the Automatically
process page images as they are added to the OCR Editor option. This lets you quickly open large
documents, recognize only select pages in a document, and save documents as images 239 .

Image preprocessing settings

By default, ABBYY FineReader lets you automatically correct common defects on scan and digital
photos.

Select Specify settings manually to manually specify settings recommended for improving
recognition quality:

· Split facing pages

Split facing pages The program will automatically split images that contain facing pages
into two images containing one page each.

· Correct page orientation

The orientation of pages that are added to an OCR proj ect will be automatically detected
and corrected if necessary.

· Use recommended settings for better OCR

The program will automatically choose and apply the required preprocessing settings.

To display all the settings, click Show Custom Settings:

· Deskew images
The program will automatically detect skewed pages and correct skew if necessary.

· Straighten text lines

The program will automatically detect uneven text lines on images and straighten them
without correcting trapezoid distortions.

· Correct image resolution

The program will automatically detect will automatically determine the best resolution for
images and will change the resolution of images when necessary.

· Detect page edges *

The program will automatically detect and crop image edges.

· Whiten background *
The program will automatically whiten backgrounds and select the best brightness setting.

· Reduce ISO noise *

The program will automatically remove noise from photographs.

· Remove motion blur *

The sharpness of blurry digital photos will be increased.

331
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

· Correct trapezoid distortions *

The program will automatically detect trapezoid distortions and uneven text lines on digital
photographs and scans of books.

· Fix inverted colors on image

When appropriate, the program will invert the colors of an image so that dark text is printed
on a light background.

· Convert to black and white

The program will convert color images to black-and white This will greatly reduce the size of
the resulting OCR proj ect and speed up OCR. We do not recommend black-and-white
conversion for photos, magazine pages, and texts in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

· Remove color marks

The program will detect and remove any color stamps and marks made in pen to facilitate
the recognition of the text obscured by such marks. This option is designed for scanned
documents with dark text printed on a white background. Do not select this option for
digital photos and documents with color backgrounds.

* For digital photos only.

To display only the recommended settings, click Hide Custom Settings.

Select No preprocessing option to disable all of these options when scanning or opening
document pages. You can still apply any desired preprocessing in the Image Editor of the OCR Editor.

OCR options
Selecting the right OCR options is important if you want fast and accurate results. When deciding
which options you want to use, you should consider not only the type and complexity of your
document, but also how you intend to use the results. The following groups of options are available:

· PDF recognition modes 333

· Balance between OCR speed and accuracy 334

· Document type 335

· Detection of structural elements 335

· Barcodes 335

· Patterns and languages 335

· Fonts to be used in recognized text 335

You can find the OCR options on the OCR tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to
open this dialog box).

ABBYY FineReader automatically recognizes any pages you add to an OCR proj ect. The currently
selected options will be used for OCR. You can turn off automatic analysis and OCR of newly added
images on theImage Processing tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools> Options... to open this
dialog box).

If you change the OCR options after a document has been recognized, run the OCR process again to
recognize the document with the new options.

PDF recognition modes

These settings are intended for PDF documents with text layers and pictures. Such PDF documents are
usually created from documents in editable formats. Other types of PDF documents, such as
searchable PDFs and image-only PDFs, are always processed in Use OCR mode, which is the default
mode for these types of PDF. No additional settings are required to process such PDFs.

Three recognition modes are available:

· Automatically Choose between OCR and Text from PDF

The program will examine the text layer and use the existing text layer if it contains good-
quality text. Otherwise, OCR will be used to create a new text layer.

· Use OCR
OCR will be used to create a new text layer. This mode takes more time but is more suitable
for documents with poor-quality text layers.

333
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

· Use Only Text from PDF

This is the default mode for PDF documents with text layers. The program will use the
original text layer without running OCR.

balance between OCR speed and accuracy

ABBYY FineReader PDF allows you to perform:

· Thorough recognition
In this mode, ABBYY FineReader analyzes and recognizes both simple documents and
documents with complex layouts, even those with text printed on a colored background and
documents with complex tables (including tables with white grid lines and tables with color
cells).

Thorough recognition requires more time but delivers better quality.

334
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

· Fast recognition
This mode is recommended for processing large documents with simple layouts and good
quality images.

Print type

Specifies the type of device that was used for printing the document. See also: Document features to

recommend disabling automatic detection of page orientation and using the dual page splitting
option only if all of the page images have the correct orientation (e.g. they were not scanned upside
down).

You can enable/disable the Correct page orientation and Split facing pages options on the Image
Processing tab of the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to open this dialog box).

To split facing pages in Arabic, Hebrew, or Yiddish, be sure to select the corresponding OCR
language first and only then select the Split facing pages option. You can also restore the original
page numbering by selecting the Swap book pages option. See also: OCR proj ects 194 .

If your document has a complex structure, we recommend disabling automatic analysis and OCR for
images and performing these operations manually.

You can turn off automatic analysis and OCR of newly added images on the Image Processing tab of
the Options dialog box (click Tools > Options... to open this dialog box).

1. Click Tools > Options... to open the Options 299 dialog box.

2. On the Image Processing tab, clear the Automatically process page images as they are
added to the OCR Editor option.

3. Click OK.

Recognizing documents written in more than one language

The instructions below are provided as an example and explain how to recognize a document that
contains both English and Chinese text. Documents that contain other languages can be recognized in
a similar manner.

1. On the main toolbar, select More languages... from the list of languages. In the Language
Editor dialog box, select Specify OCR languages manually and select Chinese and English
from the list of languages.

2. Scan your pages or open your images.

3. If the program fails to detect all of the areas on an image:

· Specify areas manually using the area editing tools 204

· Specify any areas that only contain one language and on the Area Properties select
English or Chinese as appropriate.
A language can only be specified for areas of the same type. If you selected areas of
different types, such as Text and Table, you will not be able to specify a language.

· If necessary, select the text direction from the Orientation drop-down list (for details,
see If vertical or inverted text was not recognized 222 )

· For texts in CJK languages, the program provides a selection of the text directions in the
Direction of CJK text drop-down list (for details, see Editing area properties) 208 .

If non-European characters are not displayed in the Text pane

If text in a CJK language is displayed incorrectly in the Text pane, you may have selected the Plain
text mode.

To change the font used in Plain text mode:

1. Click Tools > Options... to open the Options 299 dialog box.

2. Click the Areas and Text tab.

3. Select Arial Unicode MS from the Font used to display plain text drop-down list.

4. Click OK.

If this did not help and text in the Text window is still displayed incorrectly, see Incorrect font is used
or some characters are replaced with "?" or "□" 215 .

Changing the direction of recognized text

338
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

ABBYY FineReader detects text direction automatically, but you can also specify text direction
manually.

1. Activate the Text pane.

2. Select one or more paragraphs.

3. Click the button on the toolbar in the Text pane.

You can use the Direction of CJK text drop-down list in the Image pane to specify the direction of
text prior to OCR. See also: Editing area properties 208 .

Recognition of text written using a Gothic script

ABBYY FineReader can help you recognize historical documents and books that have been written
using a Gothic typeface in the English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Latvian languages.
Working with such documents is different in several respects, as described below.

· Gothic script recognition languages 339

· Supported Gothic fonts 340

· Instructions for recognizing text written in Gothic script 340

Sample text

Gothic script recognition languages

To recognize text written in a Gothic typeface, the program uses the following 6 languages:

1. Old English.

2. Old French.

3. Old German.

4. Old Italian.

5. Old Spanish.

6. Latvian Gothic.

339
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Supported Gothic fonts

You may need to install additional Windows fonts in order to have the text displayed in a Gothic
typeface in the recognition results.

ABBYY FineReader supports the following Gothic scripts:

1. Textur/Textualis — blackletter typeface.

2. Fraktur — blackletter typeface with angluar strokes.

3. Schwabacher — "broken" typeface with rounded strokes in some letters.

If no Gothic fonts are installed, the recognition results will be displayed in either Arial, Times, or
Courier.

Instructions for recognizing text written in Gothic script

To recognize a document that contains Gothic typeface text, do the following:

1. In the OCR Editor window, select More languages... from the Languages drop-down list on the
main toolbar. In the Language Editor dialog that opens, select the Specify OCR languages
manually option and specify the appropriate language 339 from the list. Then click OK.

Selecting several recognition languages at the same time (e.g. English and Old English or
German and old German) may negatively affect the recognition results. To avoid this, specify only
the language that will be used to recognize the Gothic text 339 .
For more information on how to launch the OCR Editor, see Launching the OCR Editor 186 .

2. Scan or open the images.

For more information, see Obtaining documents 190 .

3. Click the button on the main toolbar.

The recognition results will be displayed in the Text window.

340
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Regular expressions
The table below lists the regular expressions that can be used to create a dictionary for a custom
language 220 .

Conventional
regular
Item name Usage examples and explanations
expression
symbol

Any character . c.t— denotes "cat," "cot," etc.

Character from [] [b-d]ell— denotes "bell," "cell," "dell," etc.; [ty]ell— denotes
group "tell" and "yell"

Character not from [^] [^y]ell— denotes "dell," "cell," "tell," but forbids "yell”; [^n-s]ell
group — denotes "bell," "cell," but forbids "nell," "oell," "pell," "qell,"
"rell," and "sell"

Or | c(a|u)t— denotes "cat" and "cut"

0 or more matches * 10*— denotes numbers 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc.

1 or more matches + 10+— allows numbers 10, 100, 1000, etc.

Letter or digit [0-9a-zA-Zа- [0-9a-zA-Zа-яА-Я]— allows any single character; [0-9a-zA-Zа-

яА-Я] яА-Я]+— allows any word

ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Capital Cyrillic letter [А-Я]

Small Cyrillic letter [а-я]

Digit [0-9]

@ Reserved.

Note:

1. To use a regular expression symbol as a normal character, precede it with a back slash. For
example,[t-v]x+ stands for tx, txx, etc., ux, uxx, etc., and vx, vxx, etc., but \[t-v\]x+ stands for
[t-v]x, [t-v]xx, [t-v]xxx, etc.

2. To group regular expression elements, use brackets. For example, (a|b)+|c stands for c or
any combinations like abbbaaabbb, ababab, etc. (a word of any non-zero length in which
there may be any number of a's and b's in any order), while a|b+|c stands for a, c, b, bb,
bbb, etc.

Examples

Suppose you are recognizing a table with three columns: birth dates, names, and e-mail addresses. In
this case, you can create two new languages, Data and Address, and specify the following regular
expressions for them.

Regular expression for dates:

The number denoting a day may consist of one digit (1, 2, etc.) or two digits (02, 12), but it cannot be
zero (00 or 0). The regular expression for the day should then look like this: ((|0)[1-9])|([1|2][0-9])|(30)|
(31).

The regular expression for the month should look like this: ((|0)[1-9])|(10)|(11)|(12).

The regular expression for the year should look like this: ([19][0-9][0-9])|([0-9][0-9]).

Now all we need to do is combine all this together and separate the numbers by period. The period is
a regular expression symbol, so you must put a back slash (\) before it.

The regular expression for the full date should then look like this:

((|0)[1-9])|([1|2][0-9])|(30)|(31)\. ((|0)[1-9])|(10)|(11)|(12)\.((19)[0-9][0-9])|([0-9][0-9])

Regular expression for e-mail addresses:

[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+\@[a-z0-9\.\-]+

License or out of the use or inability to use the Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of
goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages
or losses), even if such Contributor has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing the Work or Derivative Works
thereof, You may choose to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or
other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this License. However, in accepting such
obligations, You may act only on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any

You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided that You also
comply with the requirements of this License for the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a
combination of Covered Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this License permits You to
additionally distribute such Covered Software under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that
the recipient of the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered Software under the
terms of either this License or such Secondary License(s).

3.4. Notices

You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices (including copyright notices, patent
notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to the extent required to remedy
known factual inaccuracies.

3.5. Application of Additional Terms

You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations
to one or more recipients of Covered Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and
not on behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support,
indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every
Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or
liability terms You offer. You may include additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability
specific to any j urisdiction.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation

If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of
the Covered Software due to statute, j udicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the
terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code
they affect. Such description must be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description
must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.

5. Termination

5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with any of
its terms. However, if You become compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a
particular Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such Contributor explicitly and

422
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of
the non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have come back into
compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if
such Contributor notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first time
You have received notice of non-compliance with this License from such Contributor, and You become
compliant prior to 30 days after Your receipt of the notice.

5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding
declaratory j udgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for
the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate.

5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all end user license agreements
(excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or Your distributors
under this License prior to termination shall survive termination.

6. Disclaimer of Warranty

Covered Software is provided under this License on an “as is” basis, without warranty of any kind,
either expressed, implied, or statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the Covered
Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk
as to the quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You. Should any Covered Software
prove defective in any respect, You (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing,
repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential part of this License. No use of
any Covered Software is authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.

7. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, or
otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as permitted above, be
liable to You for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character
including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer
failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall
have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to
liability for death or personal inj ury resulting from such party’s negligence to the extent applicable law
prohibits such limitation. Some j urisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.

8. Litigation

423
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the courts of a j urisdiction where the
defendant maintains its principal place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of
that j urisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing in this Section shall
prevent a party’s ability to bring cross-claims or counter-claims.

9. Miscellaneous

This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subj ect matter hereof. If any provision
of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a
contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not be used to construe this License against a
Contributor.

10. Versions of the License

10.1. New Versions

Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section 10.3, no one other than the
license steward has the right to modify or publish new versions of this License. Each version will be
given a distinguishing version number.

10.2. Effect of New Versions

You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version of the License under which
You originally received the Covered Software, or under the terms of any subsequent version published
by the license steward.

10.3. Modified Versions

If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to create a new license for such
software, you may create and use a modified version of this License if you rename the license and
remove any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that such modified license
differs from this License).

10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary Licenses

If You choose to distribute Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary Licenses under the
terms of this version of the License, the notice described in Exhibit B of this License must be attached.

DEFINITIONS In this Agreement, "Adobe" means Adobe Systems Incorporated, a Delaware

corporation, located at 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, California 95110. "Software" means the software
and related items with which this Agreement is provided.

LICENSE Subj ect to the terms of this Agreement, Adobe hereby grants you the worldwide, non-
exclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce and publicly display the Software.
Adobe also grants you the rights to distribute the Software only (a) as embedded within digital image
files and (b) on a standalone basis. No other distribution of the Software is allowed; including, without
limitation, distribution of the Software when incorporated into or bundled with any application
software. All individual profiles must be referenced by their ICC Profile description string. You may not
modify the Software. Adobe is under no obligation to provide any support under this Agreement,
including upgrades or future versions of the Software or other items. No title to the intellectual
property in the Software is transferred to you under the terms of this Agreement. You do not acquire
any rights to the Software except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

DISTRIBUTION If you choose to distribute the Software, you do so with the understanding that you
agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Adobe against any losses, damages or costs arising
from any claims, lawsuits or other legal actions arising out of such distribution, including without
limitation, your failure to comply with this Section 3. If you distribute the Software on a standalone
basis, you will do so under the terms of this Agreement or your own license agreement which (a)
complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) effectively disclaims all warranties and
conditions, express or implied, on behalf of Adobe; (c) effectively excludes all liability for damages on
behalf of Adobe; (d) substantially states that any provisions that differ from this Agreement are
offered by you alone and not Adobe and (e) substantially states that the Software is available from
you or Adobe and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium
customarily used for software exchange. Any distributed Software will include the Adobe copyright
notices as included in the Software provided to you by Adobe.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY Adobe licenses the Software to you on an "AS IS" basis. Adobe makes no
representation as to the adequacy of the Software for any particular purpose or to produce any
particular result. Adobe shall not be liable for loss or damage arising out of this Agreement or from
the distribution or use of the Software or any other materials. ADOBE AND ITS SUPPLIERS DO NOT
AND CANNOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OR RESULTS YOU MAY OBTAIN BY USING THE

457
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

SOFTWARE, EXCEPT FOR ANY WARRANTY, CONDITION, REPRESENTATION OR TERM TO THE EXTENT
TO WHICH THE SAME CANNOT OR MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY LAW APPLICABLE TO
YOU IN YOUR JURISDICTION, ADOBE AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS,
REPRESENTATIONS OR TERMS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW,
CUSTOM, USAGE OR OTHERWISE AS TO ANY OTHER MATTERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, INTEGRATION, SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR FITNESS
FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM
JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. The provisions of Sections 4 and 5 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement, howsoever caused, but this shall not imply or create any continued right to use the
Software after termination of this Agreement.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN NO EVENT WILL ADOBE OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY
DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS WHATSOEVER OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF AN ADOBE REPRESENTATIVE HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS OR FOR ANY
CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN YOUR JURISDICTION. ADOBE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY
AND THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE. Nothing contained in this Agreement limits
Adobe's liability to you in the event of death or personal inj ury resulting from Adobe's negligence or
for the tort of deceit (fraud). Adobe is acting on behalf of its suppliers for the purpose of disclaiming,
excluding and/or limiting obligations, warranties and liability as provided in this Agreement, but in no
other respects and for no other purpose.

TRADEMARKS Adobe grants you a worldwide, nonexclusive, nontransferable, personal right to use the
“Adobe” word trademark (the “Trademark”) solely to identify Adobe as the source of the Adobe RGB
(1998) product or Adobe RGB technology, so long as such use complies with the terms of this
Agreement, the trademark guidelines available at the “Permissions and trademarks” pages of the
Adobe web site (www.adobe.com) and the “Adobe Trademark Guidelines for third parties who license,
use or refer to Adobe trademarks,” also available from the Adobe web site. You acknowledge the
validity of the Trademark and Adobe’s ownership of the Trademark. Nothing in this Agreement shall
give you any right, title or interest in the Trademark, other than the license rights granted in this
Agreement. You recognize the value of the goodwill associated with the Trademark and acknowledge
that such goodwill exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to Adobe. Adobe and the Adobe
logo are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Adobe in the United States and/or other
countries. With the exception of referential use and the rights granted in this Agreement, you will not
use such trademarks or any other Adobe trademark or logo without separate prior written permission
granted by Adobe.

TERM This Agreement is effective until terminated. Adobe has the right to terminate this Agreement
immediately if you fail to comply with any term hereof. Upon any such termination, you must return to
Adobe all full and partial copies of the Software in your possession or control.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS If any part of the Software is identified as an export controlled item
under the United States Export Administration Act or any other export law, restriction or regulation
(the "Export Laws"), you represent and warrant that you are not a citizen, or otherwise located within,

458
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

an embargoed nation (including without limitation Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea,
and Serbia) and that you are not otherwise prohibited under the Export Laws from receiving the
Software. All rights to use the Software are granted on condition that such rights are forfeited if you
fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
substantive laws in force in the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements entered into
and to be performed entirely within California between California residents. This Agreement will not
be governed by the conflict of law rules of any j urisdiction or the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. All
disputes arising out of, under or related to this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the state
Santa Clara County, California, USA.

GENERAL You may not assign your rights or obligations granted under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of Adobe. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have
been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of Adobe, its agents, or employees, but only by an
instrument in writing signed by an authorized signatory of Adobe. When conflicting language exists
between this Agreement and any other agreement included in the Software, the terms of such
included agreement shall apply. If either you or Adobe employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable
attorneys’ fees. You acknowledge that you have read this Agreement, understand it, and that it is the
complete and exclusive statement of your agreement with Adobe which supersedes any prior
agreement, oral or written, between Adobe and you with respect to the licensing to you of the
Software. No variation of the terms of this Agreement will be enforceable against Adobe unless
Adobe gives its express consent, in writing, signed by an authorized signatory of Adobe.

SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE

Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007

PREAMBLE

The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide development of collaborative
font proj ects, to support the font creation efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to
provide a free and open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership with
others.

The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and redistributed freely as long as
they are not sold by themselves. The fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded,
redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved names are not used by
derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,

however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The requirement for fonts to remain
under this license does not apply to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

DEFINITIONS

"Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright Holder(s) under this license and
clearly marked as such. This may include source files, build scripts and documentation.

"Reserved Font Name" refers to any names specified as such after the copyright statement(s).

"Original Version" refers to the collection of Font Software components as distributed by the
Copyright Holder(s).

463
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

"Modified Version" refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting, or substituting — in part or in
whole — any of the components of the Original Version, by changing formats or by porting the Font
Software to a new environment.

"Author" refers to any designer, engineer, programmer, technical writer or other person who
contributed to the Font Software.

PERMISSION & CONDITIONS

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of the Font Software, to
use, study, copy, merge, embed, modify, redistribute, and sell modified and unmodified copies of the
Font Software, subj ect to the following conditions:

1) Neither the Font Software nor any of its individual components, in Original or Modified Versions,
may be sold by itself.

2) Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled, redistributed and/or sold with
any software, provided that each copy contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can
be included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or in the appropriate machine-
readable metadata fields within text or

binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.

3) No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font Name(s) unless explicit
written permission is granted by the corresponding Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to
the primary font name as presented to the users.

4) The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font Software shall not be used to
promote, endorse or advertise any Modified Version, except to knowledge the contribution(s) of the
Copyright Holder(s) and the Author(s) or with their explicit written permission.

5) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole, must be distributed entirely under
this license, and must not be distributed under any other license. The requirement for fonts to remain
under this license does not apply to any document created using the Font Software.

TERMINATION

This license becomes null and void if any of the above conditions are not met.

Introduction

============

477
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

The FreeType Proj ect is distributed in several archive packages; some of them may contain, in
addition to the FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the
FreeType Proj ect.

This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not fall under their own
explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs,
documentation and makefiles, at the very least.

This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG Group) licenses,
which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in commercial and freeware products alike.
As a consequence, its main points are that:

o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested in any kind of bug
reports. (`as is' distribution)

o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without having to pay us.
(`royalty-free' usage)

o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only parts of it, in a program,
you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that you have used the FreeType
code. (`credits')

We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of thisг software, with or without
modifications, in commercial products.

We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Proj ect and assume no liability related to The
FreeType Proj ect.

Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer to use in compliance
with this license. We thus encourage you to use the following text:

"""

Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType Proj ect (www.freetype.org). All
rights reserved.

"""

Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you actually use.

Legal Terms

===========

0. Definitions

--------------

Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Proj ect', and `FreeType archive' refer to the
set of files originally distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner
Lemberg) as the `FreeType Proj ect', be they named as alpha, beta or final release.

`You' refers to the licensee, or person using the proj ect, where`using' is a generic term including
compiling the proj ect's source code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. This
program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType engine'.

This license applies to all files distributed in the original FreeType Proj ect, including all source
code, binaries and documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its original, unmodified
form as distributed in the original archive.

If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by this license, you must contact us to
verify this.

The FreeType Proj ect is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner

General Public License for more details.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it
is not allowed.

This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms and conditions of version
3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.

0. Additional Definitions.

As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the
“GNU GPL” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an Application or a
Combined Work as defined below.

481
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

An “Application” is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the Library, but which is not
otherwise based on the Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a
mode of using an interface provided by the Library.

A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with the Library. The
particular version of the Library with which the Combined Work was made is also called the “Linked
Version”.

The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined Work means the Corresponding Source for the
Combined Work, excluding any source code for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in
isolation, are based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.

The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined Work means the obj ect code and/or source
code for the Application, including any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the
Combined Work from the Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.

1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without being bound by section
3 of the GNU GPL.

2. Conveying Modified Versions.

If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility refers to a function or data to
be supplied by an Application that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified version:

a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an
Application does not supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part
of its purpose remains meaningful, or

b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License applicable to that copy.

3. Obj ect Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

The obj ect code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header file that is part of the
Library. You may convey such obj ect code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the
incorporated material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or
small macros, inline functions and templates (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the
following:

a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the obj ect code that the Library is used in it and that the
Library and its use are covered by this License.

482
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

b) Accompany the obj ect code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.

4. Combined Works.

You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not
restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following:

a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and that
the Library and its use are covered by this License.

b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.

c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution, include the copyright notice
for the Library among these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the copies of the GNU
GPL and this license document.

d) Do one of the following:

0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, and the Corresponding
Application Code in a form suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to recombine or relink
the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work,
in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.

1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one
that (a) uses at run time a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer system, and (b)
will operate properly with a modified version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the
Linked Version.

e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required to provide such
information under section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is necessary
to install and execute a modified version of the Combined Work produced by recombining or
relinking the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If you use option 4d0, the
Installation Information must accompany the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding
Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation Information in the manner
specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.)

5. Combined Libraries.

You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side by side in a single library
together with other library facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this License, and
convey such a combined library under terms of your choice, if you do both of the following:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined
with any other library facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a work based on the Library, and
explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

483
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU Lesser General
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library as you received it specifies that a
certain numbered version of the GNU Lesser General Public License “or any later version” applies to it,
you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that published version or of any
later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you received it does not
specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General Public License, you may choose any version of the
GNU Lesser General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whether future versions of the GNU
Lesser General Public License shall apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the Library.

ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch, sole proprietor of its
copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above
copyright and conditions, but instead by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation;
principally, that you must include source code if you redistribute it. (See the file ansi2knr.c for full
details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of any program generated from the IJG code,
this does not limit you more than the foregoing paragraphs do.

The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. It is copyright by the Free
Software Foundation but is freely distributable. The same holds for its supporting scripts (config.guess,
config.sub, ltconfig, ltmain.sh). Another support script, install-sh, is copyright by M.I.T. but is also freely
distributable.

It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by patents owned by IBM,
AT&T, and Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot legally be used without obtaining one or more
licenses. For this reason, support for arithmetic coding has been removed from the free JPEG software.
(Since arithmetic coding provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman mode, it is
unlikely that very many implementations will support it.) So far as we are aware, there are no patent
restrictions on the remaining code.

The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. To avoid entanglement with the
Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been
simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs". This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the
resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard GIF decoders.

3. Distribution Obligations.

3.1. Application of License.

The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are governed by the terms of this
License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released under
Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts
the applicable version of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include an
additional document offering the additional rights described in Section 3.5.

3.2. Availability of Source Code.

Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be made available in Source Code
form under the terms of this License either on the same media as an Executable version or via an
accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version
available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at
least twelve (12) months after the date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a
subsequent version of that particular Modification has been made available to such recipients. You are
responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic
Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.

495
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

3.3. Description of Modifications.

You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes
You made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a prominent
statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by the
Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any
notice in an Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or
ownership of the Covered Code.

3.4. Intellectual Property Matters

(a) Third Party Claims

If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's intellectual property rights is required
to exercise the rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must include a
text file with the Source Code distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the party
making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains
such knowledge after the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall
promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take
other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to
inform those who received the Covered Code that new knowledge has been obtained.

(b) Contributor APIs

If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming interface and Contributor has

knowledge of patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must
also include this information in the LEGAL file.

(c) Representations.

Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4 (a) above, Contributor believes
that Contributor's Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient
rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.

3.5. Required Notices.

You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code. If it is not possible to put
such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a
location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You

496
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described
in Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code where You
describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and
to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial
Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than any such warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor
as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.

3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.

You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the requirements of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3,
3.4 and 3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a notice stating that the Source
Code version of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, including a description
of how and where You have fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously
included in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You
describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of
Covered Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different
from this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the
license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source
Code version from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version under a
different license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are
offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify
the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such
Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.

3.7. Larger Works.

You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the
terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make
sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.

If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of
the Covered Code due to statute, j udicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms
of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they
affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must be
included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or

497
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to
understand it.

5. Application of this License.

This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to
related Covered Code.

6. Versions of the License.

6.1. New Versions

Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised and/or new versions of the
License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.

6.2. Effect of New Versions

Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License, You may always
continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code
under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one other than
Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.

6.3. Derivative Works

If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may only do in order to apply it to
code which is not already Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license
so that the phrases "Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape", "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly
similar phrase do not appear in your license (except to note that your license differs from this License)
and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license contains terms which differ from the
Mozilla Public License and Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer,
Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to
be modifications of this License.)

7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT
THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR

498
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED
CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT
THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT
UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.

8. Termination

8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if You fail to comply
with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this
License. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
shall survive.

8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declatory j udgment
actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom
You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:

such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights
granted by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
notice from Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You
either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and
future use of Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with
respect to the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable
royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the
litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2
automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above.

any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's Contributor Version, directly or
indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b)
and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made,
Modifications made by that Participant.

8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging that such Participant's
Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by
license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable
value of the licenses granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account
in determining the amount or value of any payment or license.

8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user license agreements
(excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any distributor
hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING

NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER
CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH
PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR
DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION
AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

10. U.S. government end users

The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995),
consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation,"
as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R.
227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with
only those rights set forth herein.

11. Miscellaneous

This License represents the complete agreement concerning subj ect matter hereof. If any provision of
this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary
to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law provisions (except to the
extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect
to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered to do
business in the United States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be subj ect to the
j urisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara
County, California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which
provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
License.

12. Responsibility for claims

500
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages
arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work
with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing
herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

13. Multiple-licensed code

Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-
Licensed" means that the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under
Your choice of the MPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in the file
described in Exhibit A.

under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark) Licensable by Contributor, to use,
reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Modifications created by such
Contributor (or portions thereof) either on an unmodified basis, with other Modifications, as Covered
Code and/or as part of a Larger Work; and

under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, or selling of Modifications made by that
Contributor either alone and/or in combination with its Contributor Version (or portions of such

504
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of: 1)
Modifications made by that Contributor (or portions thereof); and 2) the combination of Modifications
made by that Contributor with its Contributor Version (or portions of such combination).

the licenses granted in Sections 2.2 (a) and 2.2 (b) are effective on the date Contributor first makes
Commercial Use of the Covered Code.

Notwithstanding Section 2.2 (b) above, no patent license is granted: 1) for any code that Contributor
has deleted from the Contributor Version; 2) separate from the Contributor Version; 3) for
infringements caused by: i) third party modifications of Contributor Version or ii) the combination of
Modifications made by that Contributor with other software (except as part of the Contributor
Version) or other devices; or 4) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Code in the absence of
Modifications made by that Contributor.

3. Distribution Obligations.

3.1. Application of License.

The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are governed by the terms of this
License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released under
Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts
the applicable version of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include an
additional document offering the additional rights described in Section 3.5.

3.2. Availability of Source Code.

Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be made available in Source Code
form under the terms of this License either on the same media as an Executable version or via an
accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version
available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at
least twelve (12) months after the date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a
subsequent version of that particular Modification has been made available to such recipients. You are
responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic
Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.

3.3. Description of Modifications.

You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes
You made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a prominent
statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by the
Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any

505
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

notice in an Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or
ownership of the Covered Code.

3.4. Intellectual Property Matters

(a) Third Party Claims

If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's intellectual property rights is required
to exercise the rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must include a
text file with the Source Code distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the party
making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains
such knowledge after the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall
promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take
other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to
inform those who received the Covered Code that new knowledge has been obtained.

(b) Contributor APIs

If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming interface and Contributor has

knowledge of patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must
also include this information in the LEGAL file.

(c) Representations.

Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4 (a) above, Contributor believes
that Contributor's Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient
rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.

3.5. Required Notices.

You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code. If it is not possible to put
such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a
location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You
created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described
in Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code where You
describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and
to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial
Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than any such warranty, support,

506
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor
as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.

3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.

You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the requirements of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3,
3.4 and 3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a notice stating that the Source
Code version of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, including a description
of how and where You have fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously
included in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You
describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of
Covered Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different
from this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the
license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source
Code version from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version under a
different license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are
offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify
the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such
Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.

3.7. Larger Works.

You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the
terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make
sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.

If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of
the Covered Code due to statute, j udicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms
of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they
affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must be
included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or
regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to
understand it.

5. Application of this License.

507
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to
related Covered Code.

6. Versions of the License.

6.1. New Versions

Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised and/or new versions of the
License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.

6.2. Effect of New Versions

Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License, You may always
continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code
under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one other than
Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.

6.3. Derivative Works

If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may only do in order to apply it to
code which is not already Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license
so that the phrases "Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape", "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly
similar phrase do not appear in your license (except to note that your license differs from this License)
and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license contains terms which differ from the
Mozilla Public License and Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer,
Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to
be modifications of this License.)

7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT
THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED
CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT
THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT
UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.

508

8. Termination

8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if You fail to comply
with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this
License. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
shall survive.

8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declatory j udgment
actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom
You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:

such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights
granted by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
notice from Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You
either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and
future use of Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with
respect to the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable
royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the
litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2
automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above.

any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's Contributor Version, directly or
indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b)
and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made,
Modifications made by that Participant.

8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging that such Participant's
Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by
license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable
value of the licenses granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account
in determining the amount or value of any payment or license.

8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user license agreements
(excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any distributor
hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING

NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER

509
ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH

PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR
DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION
AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

10. U.S. government end users

The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995),
consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation,"
as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R.
227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with
only those rights set forth herein.

11. Miscellaneous

This License represents the complete agreement concerning subj ect matter hereof. If any provision of
this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary
to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law provisions (except to the
extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect
to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered to do
business in the United States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be subj ect to the
j urisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara
County, California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which
provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
License.

12. Responsibility for claims

As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages
arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work
with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing
herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

13. Multiple-licensed code

Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-
Licensed" means that the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under
Your choice of the MPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in the file
described in Exhibit A.
