This method performs preprocessing of the specified pages in the document: corrects page orientation, inversion, geometrical distortions, performs page splitting if necessary. Preprocessing is performed before layout analysis.

​
Syntax

​
C++

HRESULT PreprocessPages(
  IIntsCollection*          PageIndices,
  IPagePreprocessingParams* PreprocessingParams,
  IObjectsExtractionParams* ExtractionParams,
  IRecognizerParams*        RecognizerParams
);

​
C#

void PreprocessPages(
  IIntsCollection          PageIndices,
  IPagePreprocessingParams PreprocessingParams,
  IObjectsExtractionParams ExtractionParams,
  IRecognizerParams        RecognizerParams
);

​
Visual Basic .NET

Sub PreprocessPages( _
  PageIndices As IIntsCollection, _
  [PreprocessingParams As IPagePreprocessingParams = Nothing], _
  [ExtractionParams As IObjectsExtractionParams = Nothing], _
  [RecognizerParams As IRecognizerParams = Nothing] _
)

​
Parameters

PageIndices [in] Refers to the IntsCollection object that contains the numbers of pages to be preprocessed. PreprocessingParams [in] Refers to the PagePreprocessingParams object that stores parameters of preprocessing. This parameter may be 0. In this case, the pages are preprocessed with default parameters, or, if a profile has been loaded, the parameters set by this profile are used. ExtractionParams [in] Refers to the ObjectsExtractionParams object that stores parameters of objects extraction. This parameter may be 0. In this case, the objects are extracted with default parameters, or, if a profile has been loaded, the parameters set by this profile are used. RecognizerParams [in] Refers to the RecognizerParams object that stores recognition parameters necessary for preprocessing (e.g., recognition language). This parameter may be 0. In this case, the default parameters are used, or, if a profile has been loaded, the parameters set by this profile are used.

​
Return values

If document processing is interrupted by the user, this method will return E_ABORT. It also returns the standard return codes of ABBYY FineReader Engine functions.

​
Remarks

  • This method may report events to the listeners attached to the IConnectionPointContainer interface of the FRDocument object.
  • For Linux and Windows: Depending on the value of the IEngine::MultiProcessingParams property, ABBYY FineReader Engine can distribute preprocessing of multi-page documents to CPU cores.
