About splitting images

This option is not available with Capture Pro Limited Edition.

Splitting images is frequently used in forms processing. When scanning folded forms, you may want them to be split in several smaller images to make forms registration and verification more reliable. The software splits the images, sorts the images, and extracts data from the images in the correct sequence.

The split occurs only on pages that comply with a minimum and maximum width expressed in 1/100ths of an inch. The split operation is a vertical split, meaning that the page is divided into equal left, middle, and right portions (if splitting three ways). The split occurs after rotation. When scanning large forms that cannot be scanned in landscape mode because they are wider than the scanner transport, rotation is required.

Set the Software rotation option on the Image tab of the Page Setup dialog box depending on how you scan the document.

After the split, odd-numbered images will be considered front images and even-numbered images will be considered rear images. Because the software immediately shows the result after merging or splitting, you can test your page setup and make changes if necessary.

If you are scanning one-sided images (or when you are scanning from the flatbed), the split will occur only on the front image.
