Document Viewer (Zone Mode)

This Document Viewer mode is only available when either the Advanced Zone Locator Properties window or the A2iA Zone Locator Properties window is also open. This window enables you to view and test various zone configurations. When configuring a zone locator, you need to select a Reference Document. This reference document can then be used to configure your zones. If you open the Document Viewer before opening the zone locator properties window, it automatically changes to the Document Viewer (Zone Mode) mode. In this case, you may need to switch to the Reference Document in order to configure your zones, as this functionality is not available when a test document or a sample document is selected.

In addition to this mode, the Document Viewer can also be displayed in Table mode and the default Document Viewer mode, and any zone specific functionality is no longer available.

Note If the zone locator properties window is closed, the Document Viewer (Zone Mode) reverts to the default Document Viewer mode.

The available Document Viewer (Zone Mode) functions are displayed in a toolbar at the top of this window. Any options that are not available for the selected document are disabled.
