In ABBYY Vantage Advanced Designer, you can create and configure Document skills and Document Splitter skills of any complexity for subsequent use in ABBYY Vantage. Some typical scenarios where you may need to create and configure your own Document skills and Document Splitter skills are described in Use cases.

​
Available Skill Types

In Advanced Designer, you can create and configure:

​
Document Skills

Document skills extract field values from documents of a particular type.
Note: Document skills can also be created in ABBYY Vantage. However, ABBYY Vantage Advanced Designer should be your tool of choice for documents with significantly varying layouts or for unstructured documents.

​
Document Splitter Skills

Document Splitter skills split a continuous flow of pages into separate documents.
Note: Document Splitter skills can be created and edited only in ABBYY Vantage Advanced Designer. A published skill can then be used in the Assemble activity of a Process skill in ABBYY Vantage.

​
Working with Activities

When creating Document and Document Splitter skills, you will need to set up activities, which will determine the order of operations in your document processing flow, as well as the technologies to be used.
