Batch Page

The 'Image Information' property presents a summary of key image attributes, including file format, pixel format, size, resolution, bit depth, and compression ratio.

Usage

• Use this property to quickly assess the technical characteristics of the page's primary image.
• Helpful for troubleshooting image quality, verifying scan settings, or preparing for downstream processing.

> Tip:
> Expand this property in the property grid to view all available image details.

The 'Original Page No' property records the position of this page in the original multi-page file (such as a PDF or TIFF) before it was separated into individual Batch Pages.

Usage Scenarios

• Audit and Traceability:
  Use this property to trace a Batch Page back to its original location in the source document, which is helpful for auditing, troubleshooting, or reconstructing document order.
• Import and Classification Workflows:
  The original page number is used throughout classification and separation processes, ensuring accurate mapping between Batch Pages and their source files.
• Separation and Document Integrity:
  Separation providers (such as ESP Auto Separation) utilize 'Original Page No' when the Respect Original Page Numbers option is enabled. This ensures that separated documents do not span across boundaries of original files (e.g., when splitting multi-page PDFs or TIFFs), maintaining logical document integrity and preventing accidental grouping of pages from different source files.

Notes

• The value is set automatically during import or page splitting operations.
• If the page was not created from a multi-page file, this property will be zero.
• This property is typically read-only in the UI and is only visible if its value is greater than zero.
• To enforce document boundaries during separation, enable the Respect Original Page Numbers property in your separation provider configuration.

The 'Flagged' property is used to mark a Batch Object for attention during batch processing.

• When set to true, the item is visually indicated in user interfaces and may be filtered or routed for review.
• Use the 'Flag Reason' property to provide additional context for why the item was flagged.
• Flagging is commonly used to identify exceptions, errors, or items requiring manual intervention.

You can set or clear this property programmatically, or via commands in the UI.

The 'Flag Reason' property provides a human-readable explanation for why the Batch Object was flagged.

• This property is only visible when 'Flagged' is set to true.
• Use this field to document the specific issue, exception, or review note associated with the item.
• The value is displayed in review interfaces and can be used for filtering or reporting.

Can be one of the following types:

The 'Culture' property specifies the language and locale used for the text content of this Batch Object.

• This affects OCR, extraction, and validation processes that are culture-sensitive.
• The value is typically set automatically during OCR or import, but can be changed manually if needed.
• The Detect Language activity can also be used to set the Culture.
• Use this property to ensure correct language processing, especially in multilingual batch environments.

The culture is represented as a Culture Data object, and is stored as a culture code (e.g., en-US).

Can be one of the following values:

The 'Display Pixel Format' property determines how the primary image is rendered for display and review.

Options

• Binary: Black and white (1-bit) display, typically used for OCR or archival.
• Grayscale: Shades of gray, useful for enhancing readability or reducing file size.
• Color: Full color display, preserving original appearance.

Configuration Guidance

• Some image adjustments (such as brightness and contrast) are only available for grayscale or color formats.
• The property is disabled for images that are already 1-bit (binary).

> Note:
> Changing this property does not alter the underlying image file; it only affects how the image is displayed.

Can be one of the following values:

The 'Threshold Method' property controls how grayscale or color images are converted to binary (black and white) for display or processing.

Options

• Simple: Uses a fixed threshold value (see the 'Threshold' property).
• Dynamic: Applies adaptive thresholding based on local image characteristics.

Usage

• Select 'Dynamic' for most scanned documents to improve clarity and reduce noise.
• Use 'Simple' when you need precise control over the threshold value.

> Visibility:
> This property is only visible when 'Display Pixel Format' is set to 'Binary'.

The 'Threshold' property specifies the cutoff value (0–255) for converting pixels to black or white when using the 'Simple' thresholding method.

Configuration Guidance

• Lower values make the image darker; higher values make it lighter.
• Adjust this value to optimize the appearance of text or graphics in binary mode.

> Visibility:
> This property is only visible when 'Display Pixel Format' is 'Binary' and 'Threshold Method' is 'Simple'.

The 'Brightness' property allows you to lighten or darken the displayed image without modifying the original file.

Usage

• Increase brightness to make faint text or images more visible.
• Decrease brightness to reduce glare or highlight dark content.
• Range: -100 (darkest) to 100 (brightest).

> Visibility:
> This property is only visible when 'Display Pixel Format' is set to 'Color' or 'Grayscale'.

The 'Contrast' property increases or decreases the difference between light and dark areas in the displayed image.

Usage

• Increase contrast to sharpen text and edges.
• Decrease contrast to soften the image or reduce harshness.
• Range: -100 (lowest contrast) to 100 (highest contrast).

> Visibility:
> This property is only visible when 'Display Pixel Format' is set to 'Color' or 'Grayscale'.
