	Prior to version 2.80, obtaining text data was performed by the OCR activity for document images and the PDF Text Extract activity for native text on PDF documents. Layout ~~data~~, including ~~table~~ lines, OMR checkboxes, and barcodes, was obtained through an Image Processing activity. The guiding idea behind the creation of the Recognize activity was the need for a single method of dealing with both electronic and scanned PDF documents while also taking into account other features of the document. The Recognize activity adds a number of abilities not present in previous versions of Grooper:		Prior to version 2.80, obtaining text data was performed by the OCR activity for document images and the PDF Text Extract activity for native text on PDF documents.

	Layout ~~data~~ could also be obtained when running the OCR activity prior to 2.80 by performing temporary image processing before the OCR engine runs. This would be done by including an IP Profile containing layout detection commands (such as Line Detection or Line Removal) on the "IP Profile" property of the OCR Profile used. When running the OCR activity the "Save Layout Data" property must be set to "True" to save the ~~layout data~~ to the page object.
