Fields can be marked on your documents using the Editor tab in the Skill Designer. The Editor tab also displays a list of all documents, the image for your selected document, and the data form. The data form contains the fields that will be extracted and their properties, as well as any validation rules. You can modify the placement of separators between the field regions. Each of the three regions can be hidden by clicking the icon in the upper left corner of the panel. You can hide at most two of the three panels simultaneously.

Working with a document image

You can change the zoom level for an image by pointing the cursor at the image, holding down the Ctrl key, and scrolling your mouse wheel. Scrolling your mouse wheel without holding down the Ctrl key will move the image along the vertical axis. To zoom in on a specific area on the document image, hold the Ctrl key and click the appropriate region. This will display the field at a zoom level of 200%. You can return to the default zoom level by holding the Ctrl key and clicking the region again. The program automatically detects and corrects the orientation of a page. If required, you can change the page orientation manually by clicking Rotate in the toolbar. Doing so will rotate the page 90° counter-clockwise. Alternatively, you can select one of the following options from the drop-down list: Rotate Left, Rotate Right, or Rotate 180°. Image enhancement operations, which are applied when importing files to a document set, may sometimes spoil the original image. You can always revert the edited document image back to the original document. To do this, click Edit document images the toolbar, and then select the Revert Page Image to Original option in the Actions pane. To save the changes, click Save & Close. As a result, the document image will be displayed without any cropping, distortion corrections, or other image enhancement operations.

Working with a document list

You can change the orientation of one or all pages in a document. To do so, in the document list, click the more icon next to either the appropriate page or the whole document, and then select one of the following options: Rotate Left, Rotate Right, or Rotate 180°. You can revert all pages in a document back to their original images. To do this, click in the toolbar, and then click next to the Revert Page Image to Original option in the Actions pane. To save the changes, click Save & Close. As a result, all pages in the document will be displayed without any cropping, distortion corrections, or other image enhancement operations.

Types of fields

The method for adding a field and its settings depend on its type. The following types of fields may be extracted using ABBYY Vantage: Each field type has its own type of settings. It is important to specify the appropriate properties for each field. Field properties affect both the recognition accuracy and whether or not the field values will be able to be reviewed manually. They also affect the value normalization settings. To modify the properties for a field, click the field settings button next to the relevant field in the data form. In the dialog box that will open, the general field properties will be displayed. A list of all field properties can be displayed by clicking the Advanced button in the Field options dialog.
