PaginationType

Use Structured pagination for documents with a fixed, predictable layout—such as standardized forms—where each page has a specific role and order.

• Separation relies on matching the document to a trained example, page by page.
• The number and order of pages must match the training sample.
• Use the 'Repeating Last Page' property if the last page may appear multiple times (e.g., signature pages).

This method is ideal for highly consistent documents where deviations are rare.

Use Unstructured pagination for documents that can vary in length and layout, such as correspondence, contracts, or reports.

• Separation uses embedded page information (EPI) if present, or classification confidence to determine document boundaries.
• The 'Prioritize EPI' property controls whether EPI sequences are strictly enforced.
• The 'Secondary Page Extractor' can be used to identify continuation pages.
• The 'Training Scope' property allows you to focus training on the most distinctive pages.

This method is best for documents where page count and structure are not fixed.

Use Fixed pagination for documents that always have the same number of pages.

• Set the required length using the 'Page Count' property.
• Any document not matching the exact page count will not be classified as this type.

This method is suitable for forms, statements, or other documents with a strict page count.

Use Extended pagination for documents that may span an arbitrary number of pages, ending only when the next document is detected.

• The document will extend to the start of the next confidently classified document.
• The 'Trigger On Any Page' property can be enabled to allow any page to start a new document, not just Page 1.

This method is useful for packets, bundles, or document sets where boundaries are determined by the start of the next item.
