Important! When a built–in task is launched, ABBYY FineReader uses the options selected at the
moment of launch. If you adjust the options, launch the task once again to recognize the texts with
these new options.
Other Tasks
Use the Other tab in the New Task window to access the other quick tasks available in ABBYY
FineReader.
1. In the Document language drop–down list at the top of the window, select the document

Important! Once the document is converted to black–and–white, you will not be able to restore
the colors.

Custom Automated Tasks
