to create a separate section for each page, and then set the document structure, i.e. section order and
number of repetitions.
A more complex case is a definition containing several sections that include more than one page each. For
example, it can be a Document Definition consisting of non-flexible section and a multi-page flexible
section, or a Document Definition describing documents consisting of a double-faced page that can repeat
a certain number of times. Assume you have to create a Document Definition with a title page (page A)
and a number of double-faced pages (page order B,C,B,C…). In this case, create the A section containing
one A page and the BC sections containing two pages: B and C. The document structure shoul be as
follows. The A section has one repetition followed by the BC section that repeats 3-7 times. Pages can also
be repeated within a section. Multiple repetitions should be used wisely so as not to cause misassembly of
the documents.
For Document Definitions consisting of several sections, key fields check can be enabled, in addition to
order and the number of repetitions. In each document section, you will have to define the key fields with
matching values in different sections. For example, you can take the name of a person who fills in the
document, and make it a key field. In this case, the name must be written on every page. You can also use
an identification number of some sort.
During batch processing, the program will attempt to assemble successive pages into documents while
checking assembly rules. Key field values will also be verified. A warning message will appear if key field
values don’t match on pages of one and the same document. It may sometimes happen when document
pages get mixed up during scanning. In this case, you need to change page order, for rhe document
assembly rules to be met.
To add a page to a section, on the Document Definition Editor menu, click Document Definition > Add
Page… or click Add Page… on the shortcut menu of the image. Load the image of an empty page and
select object types to be marked on the page automatically.
To add a new section, on the Document Definition Editor menu, click Document Definition > Add
Document Section…. The Create New Section Layout window will open, in which you will specify all
the necessary parameters. Follow the on-screen instructions and:
· Specify the section name;
· Load an image of an empty page (scan or load from file);
· Load a FlexiLayout, if necessary;
· Select the types of objects to be marked automatically.
The new section and its fields will appear in the Document Structure window.
To view the resulting document structure when creating a Document Definition, click the Pages tab in the
in the Document structure window on the right side of the Document Definition Editor window. The
document structure will be presented with page thumbnails. On this tab, you can change the number of
sections in the document. To do it, enter a new value (number or range) in the square to the right of the
section name. You can also add annex pages, change page order in sections, and move pages from one
section to another using the drag-and-drop method.
