In addition to document images, you can also import and process files in office formats.
Description file types
ABBYY FlexiCapture supports four types of description file.Captiva QuickScan
All the image files listed in the description file are added to the batch, in the same order as in the description file.Capture Software for Kodak
The image files in the Kodak batch folder are added to the batch in ascending order of file name. Specify the path to the folder in the Batch key of the Properties section of the.ini description file:
You cannot add registration parameters to description files of this type.
Empty file
This file is a marker that a new batch must be created. Only the file name matters. The contents are irrelevant. Images are added from the Hot Folder in alphabetical order. When ABBYY FlexiCapture finds a file whose name matches the mask specified in the File name field, it creates a new batch. For example, if you specify the*.dat mask and the Hot Folder contains these files:
Contract1.jpgContract2.jpgContract3.datContract4.jpgContract5.jpgContract6.dat
Contract1.jpg and Contract2.jpg (when it finds Contract3.dat), and another for Contract4.jpg and Contract5.jpg (when it finds Contract6.dat).
XML file
This is an XML file with a documented structure. Use it when the other three types cannot be used but you can generate a custom description file. The image files listed in the description file are added to the batch.File structure
An XML description file must contain a root Batch element with the following child elements: RegistrationParams, Documents, and Images. The Images element must include one Image element for each page in the batch being created.Batch element
Document element
Parameter element
The Parameter element is a child of the RegistrationParams element.Image element
Attachment element
Set up your scanning software so that scanned images are placed into the Hot Folder itself or into its first-level subfolders. When ABBYY FlexiCapture creates a batch, it adds all the images listed in the Image elements of the corresponding description file, in the order in which they appear in the description file.
