How to automate the correction of document block structure in FineReader Server 14 in case of processing documents with the same layout?

Answer

In case it's needed to process a large number of documents with identical layouts (e.g. forms or questionnaires), the correction of document block structure can be automated. To save time, it is possible to analyze only one document in a set of similar documents and save the detected areas as a template. Then you can use this template for the other documents in the set.

The Area template can be created by using the Verification station after correctly mapping document fields. To save it click Area -> Save Area Template... In the dialog box that opens, specify a name for the area template and click "Save".

To import the Area template into the Workflow:
1. Open Workflow Properties and go to the Process tab;
2. Click on Advanced Settings and in the opened window click the "Browse" button next to the "Area template" field to upload the area template file:

Please note you can use only one area template per Workflow.
