Document and batch structure
If the Document Definition imported from ABBYY FormReader 6.5 contains a custom structure which is not supported in
ABBYY FlexiCapture 10, a set of one-page Document Definitions will be imported.
1. Document templates with predefined structure (one-page document, multi-page documents, sequence of pages) are cor-
rectly converted into the document definitions for ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 with the same structure.
2. Custom document structure is not supported in ABBYY FlexiCapture 10. Templates with custom structure will be con-
verted into separate one-page Document Definitions.
3. If the structure of a batch (custom sequence of documents) was defined in ABBYY FormReader 6.5, it will be ignored,
and the batch will be considered as an arbitrary sequence of documents.

“Script” rule should be used.
Yes

from the list
Field properties, “Data Type” tab. “AutoCorrect options” field.

ing processing -> Types of scripts -> Script rule article.
Template conversion issues and possible workarounds
The validation rules and batch o
r document structures used in ABBYY FormReader 6.5 have no analogs in ABBYY FlexiCapture
10 and should be re-created manually. The possible troubles with workarounds are described in the tables below.
