I would like to extract the value from barcode and need to remove the page which contains the barcode.

Quick Fields

I need a QF session to split the document which will have 3 separator sheets. Each will have single barcode with specific pattern.

I would like to extract the value from barcode and need to remove the page which contains the barcode. My final document should not have barcode as a document page.

How can I remove the pages using QF? Is it possible to apply multiple first page identification condition or is there any other way?

Or if you need each barcode value in its own field

In either the page processing or the storage processing, you can add a page removal task and set it to remove first page.

Multi first page conditions are called classifications. you can select an identification page for your barcode and indicate that the length of the document is until new identification is made (new page with barcode). you can create your tokens based on the information on the barcode on the pre-classification section and then based on those tokens, you can run one of many classes that could do completely different procedures and as Bert indicated before the firs step can be to remove first page (the barcode page).

How is each document behind the barcode handled? Can you use the same naming convention for all? If so, then your first page condition will be to have a barcode value that is not blank or empty.

Otherwise, can you split the document on the barcode with Quick Fields and put the barcode data in the name of the document and then let Workflow handle the rest.

This is a little simplistic approach but should work like you want

If at all possible, use a single class and put the barcode in the first page identification instead of the preclassification.

Thanks for the replay...

Please find attached separator sheets for your reference. I already tried with suggested steps without workflow, but not getting expected result so temporary I have configured workflow which will remove pages but It was not ideal solution.

Is there any other possibility using QF?

OK, I was missing the fact that you said you were leading with 3 barcoded sheets before each document. You will need to use a Token Collector to catch the barcodes from the first 3 pages.

Hopefully you can follow this sample session:

Please see attached. I have done a quick quickfields session and added a quick document with the barcodes. this should show you more or less the steps. Change the extension of the qrtesting.txt to be qrtesting.qfx
