To create a field with multiple regions, create one of the field regions, select it, then right-click it, and, on
the shortcut menu, click Continue Region… Then, select a place for the region to continue at. Repeat the
procedure the required number of times.
3.1.1.5. Fields with multiple instances
Your document can include repeated objects – fields or field groups that are present in several instances
and that describe similar objects, for example, the same information about employees or their children, or
invoices. Fields with multiple instances are created for such objects.
Any field, except for a table, can have multiple instances, with their regions located far from each other,
possibly on different pages. Field instances have the same properties, and fields with multiple instances are
exported to separate database files or tables.
Fields with multiple instances can be useful when creating repeated field groups: you create a field group,
and then the necessary number of instances is created.
To create a field with instances, create one instance first, them select it, right-click the field region and, on
the shortcut menu, click New Instance…. Create the necessary number of region instances and move their
images to the required location on the page.

3.1.1.6. Excluding a region from recognition
You may need to exclude a region from recognition in certain cases, for example, a region with comments
that hinders data capture of a field (Figure 2). To exclude a region from recognition, click
and draw a
region to exclude with your mouse.
