Annex pages are additional pages that may by included in any document. They do not contain any
recognition fields and you do not have to match a template to them. However, they are taken into
account when assembling documents. For example, an application for credit is a fixed form. A
certificate from the workplace written in a free-form style is attached to the application. This certificate
may be processed as an annex page.
To create a template for a document with annexes:
• Go to the Pages tab in the Document Structure window (the right part of the Template Editor)
and select the Enable annex pages in document option. Enter the numbers or interval of annex
pages in the box that appears on the right of the section name. (Figure 16)
• Alternatively, open the document template properties dialog box (Template > Document
Template Properties… in the Template Editor window) and go to the Assembly tab. Select the
Enable annex pages option. Specify the minimum and maximum number of annex pages
(Figure 17).
To save the image of an annex page, you must specify the corresponding image saving options when
setting up the export (on the Images tab of the Export Settings dialog box). An image can be saved in a
graphical format or searchable PDF.
4.3.7. Setting up data export
To set up the method of saving the data obtained when processing paper documents, the administrator
must set up data export for each document template. Four types of export are available: export to a file
of a specified format, export to a database, export to a Microsoft SharePoint library, and custom export
that uses a script. To set up data export, select Template > Export Settings… in the Document
Template Editor window and specify the necessary options in the Export Settings dialog box.
Export type (file, database, SharePoint, or custom) is specified in the Export type field. The value that
you specify in this field determines the subsequent settings.
4.3.7.1. Export to files
To set up export to file, select Export to files in the Export type field (Figure 18).
On the Destination tab, select the folder in which export files are to be stored. You can export
documents from one batch to a single file (select Create separate folder for each batch) or each
document to a separate file (select Create separate folder for each batch document). If you do not
select any of these options, all documents will be exported to a single file.
Select the Overwrite existing file option if you wish to allow overwriting of the export file.
Specify how the names of export files should be generated: click the File Naming Options… button and
select the desired naming options in the dialog box that appears.
On the Format tab, select the file type (the following formats are supported: DBF, TXT, XLS, XML)
and specify additional export properties for the selected file type. You can also specify the text
encoding.
The Images tab contains image export parameters. To save images, select the Save document images
option. Select the folder and file name to which the processed images will be saved. Alternatively, select
the to data folder option to save the images in the same folder as where the data is saved.
Select the format in which images are to be stored. If you select PDF and select the Create searchable
PDF option, the program will recognize the entire text of the document and save the recognized text in
