Forms Processing

The forms processing function in PixEdit enables you to capture information from scanned paper forms such as customer polls, for further processing in, for example, Microsoft Excel. You can extract information from existing files and/or from incoming files from a network scanner or directly during desktop scanning. Both single page and multi page forms are supported in color and black/white format. If your task is to process a huge amount of forms in a very short time, you can let several PixEdit licenses run on separate computers and process forms from the same “incoming” folder without access conflicts. You need to have PixEdit with OCR capabilities in order to process forms.

Macros and batch processing

Macros

Macros in PixEdit are useful for performing repeated actions on multiple documents. Consider the following example: You need to process 2000 documents, execute a noise filter, deskew, and then store the files in another storage format. Instead of manually repeating this process 2000 times, you may specify the task in a macro, mark the files for processing, and start. Your instructions are executed until all files have been processed.

In Watch mode, PixEdit can look for incoming (or existing) image files in a folder, execute a composed macro, and save the file in another folder.

If your only task is to convert files into another storage or compression format, you do not need to build or specify a macro since this process is a default part of the macro execution system.

In addition, macros may be saved in a batch job for later processing. 

In Recording mode, every edit function performed on a page is recorded. When you have finished recording the macro press the stop button and you will be prompted for a name. If you provide a name, the macro will be saved under My Documents\PixEdit Macros and the macro will be available for playing and processing in the Batch Wizard. To play a recorded macro on your opened document, select a macro from the drop down list and just press the play button located on your toolbar. A macro may also be replayed on page ranges.
