"Selecting Content" and then constructing pages in step "Margins"
Posted: 07 Jun 2018, 08:39
I am using ScanTailor Advanced (64 bit) version 1.0.14
In step 4 "Select Content" I want to be able to tell ScanTailor the size of the print area in pixels, the with and height of it, and let the software search and try to find areas of the page which fit into this print area, instead of ScanTailor trying the best guess separately for each and every page.
In ABBYY FineReader OCR I can define a Region and apply it to all or a selected range of pages, but this often fails, since ABBYY places this region on all pages at exactly the same position of the page. But in the case of scanned pages, the print area might not be at the same pixel position in the image file, but will vary.
What I want is that ScanTailor <i>searches</i> for an area on the page which fits in the content box predefined with the number of pixels of width and and height.
And that content box should be moveable on the page as a whole, not just by moving the borders.
The "Alignment" option in step 5 "Margins" is not very helpful, since this moves the content box to the very top of the page disregarding the margins.
In setp 5 "Margins" I would like to have the means to define the size of the resulting page, and the margins within that page. ScanTailor then may place the content box inside those margins.
ScanTailor Advanced introduced in step 4 "Select Content" a new concept, the "Page Box". I had tried it once, but could not get along with it, and I am still at odds to understand what it was meant to be or represent. I admit that I have not (yet) read the corresponding documentation. I have up to now simply avoided it.
