Layout Editing mode

PDF2XL OCR supports two selection modes (while using the Smart element creation):

• Layout Editing mode
• Text Selection mode

The Layout Editing mode allows adding elements to the Page Layout and to updated them.
In order to enter the Layout Editing mode, select the Layout Editing mode option from the Selection Mode Drop Down Button, or select it from the Edit Menu.

When in the Layout Editing mode, click-and-drag selection of any area of the document that is not already a part of the Page Layout will result in creation of a new table or a field (depending on the contents of the selected area).

If the Ask for table name option (in case of a created table) or the Ask for field name option (in case of a created field) is set in the Conversion Settings Page, the user will be prompted for the element's heading immediately after it is created.
