Split Document

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Copy and Split this image and create two new ones

Use the image arrow keys (at the foot of the image) to navigate to the point at which the image is to be split. The break will occur above the page you are on, so that that page will be the first page in the new split document. You cannot therefore initiate the Split function if you are on the first image page.

The screen shown below appears in respect of the four-page image file 2.tif whose second page is visible to the user.

The default result is shown here. If no changes are made to the settings, the following will happen:

two new Item Cards will be created at the end of the Case

the data (that is, the entire contents of the Item Card except OCR Text, Item Links and Name Links) will be copied to the first new Item

the new Items will be added to the current Selection (which may presently be the product of a Query or of loading an existing Bundle)

the division of pages between the two new Items will be as appears in the boxes at the bottom of the screen

the source image file (that is, the one presently displayed) will be moved to a backup folder

the source Item Card will stay as it was

Variants possible at the user's election are that:

the data is copied to the second new Item Card or to both new Item Cards

the new Items are not added to the current Selection

the second Item is made an attachment to the first

the source image file is not moved to a backup

Press <Add new Items> to initiate the process. You get a message telling you what is to happen...

... and then one to say what has been done.

If you asked for the new Items to be added to the current Selection (the default), you are then moved to the first of the new Items. Otherwise you stay on the Item from which the Split was made, with no image to see if you asked for it to be moved.
