Upgrading from ABBYY FlexiCapture 8.0 Professional
If you are installing ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 as an upgrade from version 8.0 you can use ABBYY FlexiCapture and ABBYY
FlexiLayout projects as well as FlexiLayouts from the previous version.
Using ABBYY FlexiCapture 8.0 Professional projects (*.fcproj)
All ABBYY FlexiCapture 8.0 Professional projects (.fcproj) can be opened and used in ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 (both Stand-
alone and Distributed). Please note the following:
- It is impossible to open an .fcproj-project in ABBYY FlexiCapture 8.0 once it was opened in ABBYY FlexiCapture 10,
so you should create a copy of the project before opening it in ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 if you still need to open it in
ABBYY FlexiCapture 8.0.
- After opening ABBYY FlexiCapture 8.0 project in ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 you may need to delete all processing re-
sults and analyze all pages once again. (You can use the project without re-recognizing but some information may be
presented improperly, for example if the FlexiCapture 9.0 project contains format errors, they will not be presented in
the document window the same way they are currently presented in ABBYY FlexiCapture 10).
- All settings which were not available in ABBYY FlexiCapture 8.0 and have appeared in ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 will
have default values. You can change settings, add batch types, set up workflow settings. To find more details about new
possibilities of ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 please read the help file.
Using ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 8.0 projects (*.fsp) in ABBYY FlexiLayout 10
All FlexiLayout Studio 8.0 projects can be opened in FlexiLayout Studio 10. Please note the following:
- It is impossible to open an .fsp-project in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 8.0 once it was opened in ABBYY FlexiLayout
Studio 10, so you should create a copy of the project before opening it in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 10 if you still
need to open it in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 8.0.
- After opening a FlexiLayout Studio 8.0 project in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 10 you may need to delete all processing
results and analyze all pages once again.
- Due to changes in FlexiLayout language some compilation errors may occur. In this case you will need to correct errors
and re-compile FlexiLayouts. See Errors which may occur while converting FlexiLayouts
.
Using FlexiLayouts (*.afl) created in ABBYY FlexiLayout 8.0
FlexiLayouts compiled in ABBYY FlexiLayout 8.0 can be loaded into ABBYY FlexiCapture 10.
Sometimes due to changes in FlexiLayout language some compilation errors may occur. In this case open the *.fsp project in
ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 10, correct the errors and re-compile FlexiLayouts. See Errors which may occur while converting
FlexiLayouts.
Errors which may occur while converting FlexiLayouts
Sometimes, FlexiLayouts made in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 8.0 cannot be compiled in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 10, or
errors occur when matching a FlexiLayout.
If a FlexiLayout cannot be compiled, open the *.fsp project in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 10 and check if any of the elements
are invalid and have error description on the Errors tab.
It is also possible that the FlexiLayout is successfully compiled, but some errors occur during matching.
If you have such problems after conversion, please check if it happened due to one of the errors described below.
Please note that some elements may be found in a different way now and the logic of FlexiLayout may slightly change. Test all
FlexiLayouts on your images before using them for recognition.
If you need assistance please contact our Technical Support.
Problem Comment Workaround
A FlexiLayout will not be compiled with the following errors:
The name of an element coincides with a
function’s name that didn’t exist in pre-
vious versions.
Example: in version 8.0 it was possible to
create a text element with a name “RSA”
and reference it using the short name:
RSA.IsNull. This code cannot be com-
piled in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio 10.
If the element’s name coincides with a func-
tion’s name, it will be considered as a func-
tion’s name in the code. It’s possible to cre-
ate an element with the name PageNumber,
but it is prohibited to write PageNum-
ber.IsNull (the only possible way is to write
SearchElements.PageNumber.IsNull );
Use the full name of an element.
Example:
SearchElements.RSA.IsNull
