To change the thumbnail display mode:
● Click View>Pages Window. Then select Thumbnails or Details.
● In the shortcut menu of the Pages window, select Pages Window View. Then select either Thumbnails or Details.
● On the View tab of the Options dialog box (Tools>Options…), in the Pages Window group, select either Thumbnails or
Details.
To view a page document, click its thumbnail in the Pages window (in Thumbnails mode) or double–click its number (in Details
mode). In the Image window you will then see the page image, and in the Text window, the recognition results (if the document
was recognized).
Note: When opening FineReader documents created in earlier versions of ABBYY FineReader, the program attempts to convert
them into its new format. As this conversion cannot be undone, ABBYY FineReader will prompt you to save the converted
document under a new name. All recognized text will be lost in the process.
