Smart document split
Add automatic document splitting to workflows.
How it works
In cases where a single PDF file contains multiple underlying documents, smart-split allows for the automatic detection and segmentation of sub-documents. Even in cases where sub-documents have variable lengths and format.
When a source file is uploaded, it is processed and a corresponding
fileId is assigned. The /results/ for the original file will then contain one or more child document fileIds which can then be queried to obtain the corresponding sub-document results.Document splitting can be used in conjunction with other standard workflows like prediction or validation.
Sample combination of document splitting and validation.
Getting started
To automatically split files on upload, a few changes to the standard
fileupload form-data parameters are required:- Specify the document-splitting workflow type by setting:
workflowId=split - Specify a
childWorkflowIdto define what workflow to run on each generated sub-document - Optionally specify
childWorkflowOptionsto parameterise the workflow run on each generated sub-document
Split workflows are a
BETA feature and subject to change.
