Note: The ABBYY SDK will not open images larger than 32.512*32.512 pixels.
If images with a higher resolution have to be processed then the original has to be “cut” in sections. In reality this “restriction” only applies to large construction plans scanned in bitmap with more than 600 dpi.

• The ABBYY Mobile OCR Engine functions work with a special internal format.
• You must to load image into the memory and convert it to FINE_IMAGE format before calling the functions.

• The Mobile OCR Engine distribution kit includes sample with the procedure of loading BMP image files (see Description of the Sample for details).
• If you want to load other image files, you must create your procedure of loading and converting.
