Configuration

Recommended Settings

For structured data extraction, we recommend:

• Disable multi-page mode - You usually only need data from the first page
• Skip post-processing screen - Users typically don’t need to review the scan when extracting data
• Specify only needed data types - Achieve better performance by focusing on what you need
