Question

How to exclude pages from recognition?

Answer

1. Advanced workflow is required.

2. Create an automatic script stage before recognition for batch processing. This script should remove the pages, save them as regular files in a temporary directory, save the name of the temp files and their amount:

   int from=1; // first page is 0
   int to=1;
   Random r = new Random();
   string fileName = "d://temp"+r.Next(1000000).ToString()+"_";
   
   //let's save the values for restoring
   Batch.Properties.Set("from",from); 
   Batch.Properties.Set("to",count);
   Batch.Properties.Set("fileName",fileName);
   
   //save file and remove it from recognition
   for(int i=from;i<count&&i<to;i++){
       Documents[i].SaveAs(fileName + i.ToString() + ".jpg");
       Batch.DeleteDocument(Documents[i]);
   }

    

3. Create additional automatic stage after recognition. Here you just need to load saved pages into an already recognized document:

   for(int i=Batch.Properties.Get("from"); i<Batch.Properties.Get("to"); i++){
       string fn = Batch.Properties.Get("fileName") + i.ToString() + ".jpg";
       IEditablePictureObject img = FCTools.LoadImage(fn);
       Batch.CreatePageFromImage(img,Documents[0],-1);
   }

    

4. You can see that the second page is a part of the document. The counter in the License Manager has been decreased by one.
