By default, the program names the new FlexiLayout FlexiLayout1 (see the FlexiLayout tab in the FlexiLayout Properties dialog box).

For convenience, rename the FlexiLayout and give it a meaningful name. The name you give your FlexiLayout also appears in ABBYY FlexiCapture after you create a FlexiCapture FlexiLayout based on it. To set the FlexiLayout properties (which also include the name of the FlexiLayout):
1

Open the FlexiLayout properties

Double-click the name of the FlexiLayout (that is, FlexiLayout1), or right-click the FlexiLayout and select Properties… on the shortcut menu.
2

Rename the FlexiLayout

In the Name field, type a new name for the FlexiLayout, such as RegistrationForm.
3

Specify the pre-recognition parameters

  • From the Text languages list, select English as the pre-recognition language (the documents contain text in English).
  • Select Typographic in the Text type group (the default setting), assuming that neither a dot-matrix printer nor a typewriter was used to fill in the document.
  • In the Mode group, select Fast or Normal pre-recognition mode, depending on the quality of the images to be processed. Because the sample images are good quality, contain no noise, and have almost no small print, select Fast mode. This speeds up pre-recognition, both when creating the FlexiLayout in FlexiLayout Studio and when processing it in FlexiCapture.
Multi-page parameters — the document contains one page, so specify 1 for both Minimum number of pages and Maximum number of pages.

There is no need to specify the beginning and end of documents, so you can delete the predefined Header and Footer elements from the list of elements of your FlexiLayout.
You can add Header and Footer elements to a FlexiLayout to help the program detect the beginning and end of documents. If the program cannot find both the Header and Footer elements when matching the FlexiLayout, it uses the maximum number of pages specified in the FlexiLayout for document separation. For the document in this example, the maximum number of pages is set to 1.
