Import of office file extensions works in ABBYY Vantage Cloud environments only. This feature is planned to be implemented for on-premises environments in upcoming releases.
Important! ABBYY Vantage will not open images with height or width greater than 32512 pixels.
Best practices for the input images:
  • Scan the documents in a resolution of 150 dpi or greater, optimally not less than 300 dpi.
  • Pass the original images to Vantage, without any editing or preprocessing on your side.
  • If you’re photographing documents:
    • Make sure the whole document fits into the image, no corners are cut off
    • If possible, place the document onto a level surface
    • Avoid strong shadows and flashlight glares
    • Try to achieve an even focus, so that no parts of the document are blurred
