Output Converter Formatting Properties

In the final output document, not all possible formatting features can be used, since either they were not applicable or they were not implemented for that particular converter. For example, specifying the page margins in conjunction with a text output converter won't have any effect. The formatting parameters for the final output document can be controlled using L_DocSetRecognitionResultOptions and L_DocGetRecognitionResultOptions.

The table below summarizes what features were implemented for the different converters.
