Workflow with regular expression

asked on September 22, 2015 Show version history

Every year after open enrollment we have a large stack of Retiree Insurance paperwork. What I would like to do is scan the whole stack (a 200 page document) and have a Laserfiche workflow separate the pages by employee. Every retiree's insurance paperwork starts with this standard form (pictured below) so if the workflow can separate the employees paperwork by that initial form and read the documents text for the last and first name (apply it to the fields) that's the idea I am going for.... just not sure what steps I should take in order to get what I want done.

 

I cant take the east route and "separate every 3 pages" because they all don't have the same amount of pages in their paperwork

 

Any help or guideance will be much appreciated! Thank you in advance

In this situation it is best to use Quick Fields. In Quick Fields you can use a page process called zone OCR. This will allow you to identify text within the page if it is in the same location every time. You can also use this to separate documents from a larger document by using the zone OCR and the section for first page identification.
