Input image files are recommended to have resolutions from 75 to 600 dpi, and 300 dpi (both horizontally and vertically) is recommended for optimum OCR accuracy. The minimum image size is 16 pixels on any side. The maximums are 28 inches (71 cm) and 8400 pixels. See Page image requirements for more information.)

You can append pages to multi-page image files, except JB2.

Black-and-white images enter the program at their original resolutions. Use the Process panel of the Options dialog box to choose whether to import grayscale and color images at their original resolutions or have those above 150 dpi reduced to 75 - 150 dpi. That means these are not good candidates for future OCR processing. You can control resolution for saving page images and for embedded pictures at saving time.

Hover the cursor over a thumbnail to see a popup window showing the image size and resolution.
