Workflows
A workflow contains a series of processing steps and their settings. It can
be saved for repeated use whenever you have a task needing the same
processing. Workflows must begin with one and only one input step. But
after that, they do not have to conform to the traditional 1-2-3
processing pattern. Usually a workflow will include a recognition step,
but this is not compulsory. For instance, page images can be saved to
image files in a different file type or to an OmniPage Document. With or
without OCR, any number of saving steps are possible, even to different
targets, each with their own export settings.

Workflows are designed for efficient whole-document processing. They
cannot handle recognizing or saving single or selected pages from a
document. You should use manual processing for such cases.

Some workflows run without user interaction. Workflows needing
interaction are those with a manual zoning step, a proofing/editing step
or when run-time prompting is requested for input or output file names
and paths.
