3.1.1.7. Deleting fields
To delete a field, select it and press Delete or click Delete on the shortcut menu. To delete marking only,
leaving the field in the document structure, press Shift+Delete or click Delete Region on the shortcut
menu of the field.
3.1.2. Static Elements
Static elements are objects that do not provide information for capture. They are used for Document
Definition matching and identification. Anchors are a type of static elements.
To begin working with static elements, switch to the special mode by clicking
, which will display
static element marking.
All static element types can be used to match a Document Definition, but the best results can be achieved
only if the documents have standard anchors – black squares, crosses or angles. They must be set manually
or automatically as a static element of the Anchor type. Their shape must be specified in the Element
Properties window, the General tab.
Static elements of any type can be used as identifiers as well. Analyzing the position and value of the
identifiers, the program finds the document the current page belongs to. If a barcode is used as the
identifier, you can specify its value manually – this helps identify the page quickly and precisely.
To use a static element for Document Definition matching and/or identification, select the corresponding
option in the General tab of the Properties dialog box. To open the Properties dialog box for any element,
click Properties... on the shortcut menu.
Static elements can be used when matching a Document Definition (select Use to match Document
Definition) and/or for Document definition identification (select Use to identify Document Definition).
Anchor: set the anchor type (square, cross, angle or rectangle). For standard anchors, select Use to match
Document Definition. Select Use to identify Document Definition only if the anchor locations are
unique for the current document section.
Static text: if the static text will be used for identification, you can enter the text value. You need to enter
the text value only if the page can’t be identified by its location alone (for example, if the pages are
different only in heading texts, while the location and size of these headings are the same).
Separator: choose to use the separator for document definition identification or matching.
Barcode: if the batcode will be used as an identifier, you can enter the barcode value. On the Recognition
tab, specify the barcode type, its orientation and image processing options.
3.1.2.1. Barcode Specifics
If a barcode is used as an identifier, it is an anchor barcode and it belongs to static elements. Create it when
you are working with static elements. The Properties dialog box of such barcode has two tabs: General
and Recognition.
