SimpleIndex offers a unique new approach to determining where the first page of a new document starts. Traditionally, barcode separator sheets are inserted during document prep to mark the start of a new document. It is wasteful and time-consuming to insert them between each file, especially if the files are only a few pages.
SimpleIndex takes advantage of OMR technology to provide an easier solution to this problem. Simply take a felt pen and make a black mark on the upper-left corner of the first page of each new document. SimpleIndex will scan automatically to numbered multi-page files, with a new file created each time a mark is detected (separation). These files can then be indexed and exported with a second SimpleIndex job.
SimpleIndex can also use OCR to locate the first page of a new document by finding unique keywords or patterns of text on the page. If the same page is used as the first page of each document this method can be used to identify it without additional document preparation.
The Autonumber page describes how to configure OCR and OMR based automatic document separation.
