Quick Fields - Detecting OCR Zone Value Change to Split Output Documents

asked on March 4, 2024

Hi all,

 

What is the prevailing wisdom on how to detect the beginning of a document within a document class in this stateless world.  This seems like a basic concept, but I haven't been able to find an adequate answer so far.  I have a large file where each page has an ID on it, read by Zone OCR.  When the value changes that should indicate the first page of a new document.  So, the first page of the file is a new document and every page thereafter where the value changes is a new document.  I've experimented with the whole Token Collector concept, but haven't yet found a solution.  How should this work?

and it works!  Still disappointed and surprised that 10 years after that post Quick Fields still can't persist/modify variable/token values across the pages of a document, but this is working for me.

Agreed. That is the method I also use; I save them to the repository with a name  based upon the unique value for the document and have Quick Fields append the pages if the name already exists.
