Using Area Templates
If you are processing a large number of documents with an identical layout (e.g. forms or questionnaires), analyzing the layout of every
page will be time consuming. To save time, you can analyze only one document in a set of similar documents and save the detected
areas as a template. Then you can use this template for the other documents in the set.
