4.3.2.5. Fields with multiple instances

Your documents may contain repetitive objects – fields or field groups that occur several times in a

document and describe similar information, for example similar detail about employees, children, or

invoices. To process such objects, you can create fields with multiple instances.

Any field can have multiple instances, and these instances can be spaced any distance apart, even on

different pages. Field instances possess identical properties. Fields with multiple instances are exported

to separate files or database tables.

Fields with multiple instances are convenient when you have to create repetitive field groups. You can

create one field group and then simply create the necessary number of instances.

To create a field with multiple instances, create a single field, right-click on the region of the field, and

select New Instance… from the context menu. Create as many instances of the field as required and

move them to the desired locations on the page.

4.3.2.6. Excluding a region from recognition

Sometimes you may need to exclude a certain region on a form from recognition, for example, when

explanatory text hinders extracting data from a field (see Figure 5). To exclude a region from

recognition, select the

tool and specify the region to be excluded from recognition.
