Advanced Designer use cases - ABBYY Documentation

The use cases below are starting points for building your own skills in Advanced Designer, or for improving skills you started in ABBYY Vantage. Each one walks through the activities and configuration choices for a common scenario.

If you have existing FlexiLayouts from ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio, you can reuse them when creating a new Document skill — see Create Document Skill from ABBYY FlexiLayout Project.

Pick a use case

Pick a scenario based on your input and where the skill comes from.

Scenario	When to use
Extract data from documents	Each input is already a discrete document and you need fields out of it.
Split a flow of pages	Your input is a continuous page stream (for example, a scanned batch) that needs to be separated before extraction.
Edit a skill from Vantage	You started a skill in the cloud Skill Designer and need Advanced Designer’s extra capabilities — custom activities, scripting, or complex layouts.
