In certain cases you will need to be able to read that a page is blank, but not actually want to delete this page. This is especially useful if you want to use a page that isn’t completely blank as a document separator, where the page is always smaller than the rest of the pages in the batch. You can set-up an Autonumber increment to only go up a number when a blank page is read, but not delete that page for later processing.

To set the option to keep a page that is read blank follow the instructions below (SimpleIndex v9.0.30 and higher).

  1. Right click on the SimpleIndex Job Configuration file (.sic format) that you would like to set this option for and Edit in Notepad or another text editor of your choice. Select “Open With…” then select Notepad.
  2. Do a search for “KEEP_DELETED” until you find this:
    <KEEP_DELETED>false</KEEP_DELETED>
  3. Change the word “false” to “true”
  4. Save the Job Configuration then close the text editor.
