Automatic detection when adding an image

When a page image is added, ABBYY FlexiCapture always detects anchors. If the image has standard anchors (such as black squares), these are detected and marked. It searches for text fields and checkmarks if you have enabled the Text or Checkmarks options. Text fields with a region and rectangular checkmarks are detected particularly well. If entry fields on your form have no region, and checkmarks are inserted against a white background, they normally need to be highlighted manually.

Automatic detection in the Document Definition editor

For automatic detection in the Document Definition editor, select the required mode (fields or static elements), and then select Tools → Autodetect Objects by Type. Mark the types of fields or static elements to be detected automatically. To detect specific objects on the image automatically, select the required mode (fields or static elements) and click the Autodetect button on the toolbar. When you click an element, it is marked with a rectangle, and its type is detected automatically.
