This includes automatic *decolumnization of complex pages, preserving layout information like paragraph breaks, tables, columns, lists, plus attributes like bold, italic and underscore. This is especially important in word processing and *desktop publishing where such formatting information is critical. If you need fast turnaround on documents, TrueScan can deliver.
