    Let's be honest... this is bad interface design.
    Especially because one is at odds when changing settings (which is needed often in my case) like changing OCR language or one or both 2 other settings (replace font; make editable) ... the user is left in some default limbo... my guess is that you have to opt out of a pdf file already loaded and chose it again. A bad way of doing things.
    Mind you I am working with computer from mainframe 1973 tot DOS, Windows, OSX the last decades and have used hundreds of software applications...
    This is a BUG! and it should be redesigned for professional use, let alone to speak about the poor non-professionals who do get confused by this protocol.

    The standard way for doing such a thing is:
    1) prompt for changing settings
    2) prompt for (re)starting the OCR process.
