The Document Separation interface allows you to separate pages of an image document into multiple documents.
The upper pane of the Working window displays thumbnail representations of the document or documents in the queue. The lower pane displays thumbnails of each page of the original document. Double-click on the thumbnail to enlarge the view.
Initially (before any separation has occurred), the upper pane displays a thumbnail of the first page of the document. The number of documents in the queue is displayed above the thumbnail and the range of pages composing the document is displayed directly below the thumbnail.
In the example above, the six-page document has not yet been separated. Note that the upper pane shows that there is one document in the queue, composed of pages 1 through 6.
After document separation begins, a thumbnail of the first page of each new document is displayed in the upper pane.
For example, if you elected to slice the document after page three, two thumbnails would display in the upper pane, one representing a new document composed of pages 1-3 and a second representing a new document composed of pages 4-6, and the Document Count above the first thumbnail would increase from 1 to 2.
Depending on your scan queue configuration, any Keyword Values added to the document prior to the separation process may or may not be kept by the document(s) separated from the original document.
You can separate documents in one of two ways:
-
In the lower pane, indicate the separation point in a document by clicking the small buttons between pages.
-
In the upper pane, double-click on the document thumbnail. Click the left and right arrows (located on the left and right of the display window) or the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll through the document. Click the Start New Document button at the bottom of the display window (or the keyboard space bar) to designate the current page as the first page of a new document. Click Esc to close.
Click the Save to Database button (described below), to save changes to the document. Once the Save to Database button is clicked, these changes cannot be undone.
