  • 1.  SplitMultipageTiff- delete original file

    Posted Fri September 13, 2024 08:09 AM

    Good morning.  We are on Datacap 9.1.5.  I have a project that requires for Datacap to ingest multi-page tif files into our virtual scan application and split them into individual pages in the batch to have some processing done on them.  I am using the SplitMultipageTiff action which works great... except that it does not remove the original multi-page tif from the batch.  How can I accomplish the goal of having only the individual tifs in the batch?  Is there a better way than SplitMultipageTiff?  Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Danny,

    i think it is kind of reasonable to default to keeping the original data. If you want to delete the source image anyways, i would do it via the FileIO actions:

    DeleteFile("@PILOT(BATCHDIR)+\+@P.IMAGEFILE") 

    on the multi-tiff-page or something similar.

    Regards Julian

    Hi Danny,

    Julian's recommendation is spot-on. There's an action which does what you require but I'm not sure whether it's available in Datacap 9.1.5:

    Kind regards,

    Shaun

    Hi Shaun,

    you are absolutely right to point that action out. It differs from my answer in that it deletes the DCO object but not the tiff from the batch folder. I understood Danny the other way around, but see now that i might have misunderstood that.

    Anyways - we have presented both options  now :)

    The action seems to exist in 9.1.5 DeleteSourceImagePages - IBM Documentation

    Best regards
    Julian

    Thank you both.  Those are perfect options for doing it whether or not you want to remove from DCO also.  I also found that in the mvScan actions library there is an action named set_multipage_burst that will work perfectly and it occurs at scan time.  Hopefully if anyone else needs to do this, they will find these 3 options to choose from.  Thank you again for your replies.
