    KeepInMemory
    Auto This option specifies whether temporary files of document pages are created on disk or not.

    When this option is set to Auto, if there are no more than 30 pages in the document, the document is kept in memory. Otherwise, temporary files of document pages are created on disk.

    Sequential
    Sequential This key sets multi-processing mode.
    -rpc --recognitionProcessesCount
    number of parallel recognition processes 0 This key sets recognition processes count (actual only in case the -mpm option is set to Auto and Parallel). When it is set to 0, it means that the number of processes will be equal to the minimum of the following values:

  • number of available physical or logical CPU cores
  • number of free CPU cores available in the license
  • number of pages in the processing document
  • -unopc --useNotOnlyPhysicalCPUCores
    no This option is obsolete. Using it does not affect processing.

    -drpwtl --dontRecognizePdfWithTextLayer

Export to other specified formats will not be performed if the input PDF has text layer.
    -itl --injectTextLayer
    no With this key text layer is injected to input image-only and image-on-text PDF. To use this key, it is required to have a single input image-only or image-on-text PDF and the specified export formats must include the PDF format. Export to other specified formats will not be performed.
    -tmp --tempFileFolder
    folder path standard temporary files folder path This key sets the folder for the ABBYY FineReader Engine’s temporary files by setting the value of the TMPDIR environment variable to the specified folder path.
