Use the Page Range options to determine the page range to be enhanced. Page range options are detailed here.

Select the Use Compression for Images box to compress images, then use the Color/Grayscale and Monochrome dropdown menus to determine the type of compression for these formats.

Select/clear the Apply Adaptive Compression box to enable/disable adaptive compression.

Use the slider to select between Small Size and High Quality as desired.

Use the Filters dropdown menus to set options for deskewing, background removal, descreening and text sharpening as desired.

Select the Recognize Text box to perform OCR on pages.

Click Edit to change the language and/or accuracy of the OCR operation. Note than increasing the accuracy will also increase the time taken to perform the operation and vice versa. Additionally, the OCR options available depend on the OCR engine currently in use, as PDF-XChange Editor now has an optional Enhanced OCR plugin that contains additional features to the default OCR engine. The differences between these engines are detailed here.
