3.1.4. Creating a Document Definition for Multi-Page Documents
ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 allows creating multi-page Document Definition. A definition can consist of a
random number of sections, each of them containing one or multiple pages. Section order, quantity and the
document assembly rules are specified for multi-page Document Definitions.
Document Definition Creation Wizards work will result in a simple Document Definition (without
sections) appearing. You can add pages manually. When a page is added, its image will appear in the
image area in the Document Definition Editor window. Fields created on this page will be added to the
general list of fields. In this case, the document will consist of one section with several pages.
You may want to add several pages to one section if the document contains blocks stretching over multiple
pages, repeating blocks or tables that occupy more than one page. The same method is used when loading
a multi-page FlexiLayout (see Creating a FlexiLayout
). All fields of the FlexiLayout will have to belong to
the same Document Definition.
You can also add sections to a Document Definition. In the simplest case, one section contains one page.
This may be useful if field sets on the pages are independent. This method is rather transparent: you can
easily see the section the fields belong to, and set your own document assembly structure. For example,
your document has 3 pages, with the 1
st
and 3
rd
page occurring once, and the 2
nd
, 2-5 times. You will have
