Split Lage PDF File to Sets
You can split a document into separate Sets by extracting text within a
rectangle on a page and depending on whether extracted text is blank,
same or different, use this information to divide document into separate,
variable length Statements, Invoices, Notices, Reports etc. Intelligent
splitting enables production of variable length documents.
There are three different methods to split a large document
1. Static Text
2. Variable Text and
3. Combination of static and variable text
We will explain each method in detail.
Static Text
You can split a document on a page where same control text – Static
Text - is present in same selection area. This method is applicable
when you are trying to split say Statements where distinct text (e.g.
‘Monthly Statement’) appears in the same area on first page of each
Statement.
Variable Text
You can split a document on a page where, in same area, text
changes from previous page. This method is applicable when you are
trying to split a document using Variable Text such as Customer
Number, Account Number which provide a reliable document splitting
indicator. For this method to perform accurately, variable text within
the control area from second to last page within a Set (e.g. Invoice),
should be either same text as on first page or be blank.
Static Text in combination with Variable Text
Alternatively, you can split a document on a page when control static
text is present and variable text changes when compared with
previous occurrence of it. This method is very useful when static text
is present within same area on more than one page within a Set and
or when using variable text there is presence of other text in same
area between second page and last page – falsely triggering splitting
action. Presence of Static Text on a page acts as a qualifier for
SmartPDFPrintware to extract variable text on that page and then
compare with previous value – if it changed, split the document at this
page.
