Hi everybody,
Question about FlexiLayout Alternatives. If one layout/document definition contains 2 alternatives for example, is the software still limited to matching one alternative per document? Let me explain further...
I have a situation where a customer sends in a single PDF that is actually 2 separate invoices with varying formats, each requiring a different layout. If these layouts/document definitions reside on the processing server separately, it will only use the one it is able to match first to my knowledge, causing the remaining pages to be unrecognized, for example:
Page 1 - Layout A
Page 2 - Layout A
Page 3 - unrecognized
Page 4 - unrecognized
I've never experimented with "Alternatives" but I'm assuming it still only matches one alternative per document based on whichever alternative it can match first. Currently the only solution I'm aware of would be to split this document into the 2 separate invoices prior to the matching process.
If anyone has experience with alternatives I'd love to know if a doc def with multiple alternatives is capable of capturing everything from a single PDF that contains more than one invoice format, for example:
Page 1 - Alternative A
Page 2 - Alternative A
Page 3 - Alternative B
Page 4 - Alternative B
