The EPI Separation provider uses embedded page information ("EPI") to separate loose pages into document folders. A Data Extractor is used to find page numbers from the text on a page and Grooper uses this information to separate the pages.
About
For this Separation Proivder, a Data Extractor is used to find page numbers from the text on a page. The extractor must define the page number as group "PageNo" in the regular expression (regex) pattern. If the page number is formatted as Page X of Y (Page 1 of 3) then a second group must be defined as "PageCount" in its regular expression pattern.
The pattern Page (?<PageNo>\d+) of (?<PageCount>\d+) would group the "1" and "3" of our earlier example properly.
If the value of PageNo is 1, a new folder is created. As long as each subsequent page's PageNo value follows in sequence, they are included in the folder. If the page is out of sequence (or the extractor fails to produce a result), it is left as a loose page.
