Info

Some options may be not available depending on the selected engine and / or the current license.

Automatic page rotation
If enabled an automatic page rotation will be executed during the creation of this output. Rotation will be detected automatically based on the natural text orientation by using the default OCR engine to detect the text direction.

Warning

If a full image is scanned (e.g. a photo, a picture, anything without any text) automatic page rotation may not detect the correct orientation because the engine is not capable to understand visually the correct orientation.

Deskew
If enabled an automatic process of deskew will be executed during the creation of this output. Deskew is meant to correct any skew which might apply during a manual document scanning in order to correct or improve the readability of the image.

Deskew can only be processed when the skew angle is +- 15 degrees. When the degree angle is higher please use a document rotation via the Image Processing workflow module instead as that’s not anymore skew.

Remove empty pages
If enabled a blank page detection will be executed on every page of the document during the creation of this output. When a page is detected to be blank (empty) it will be removed and not appearing in the output document created by this profile.

By enabling this option the Confidence level slider will become active to set the threshold in detecting if a page is empty or not. Default value is a confidence of 99.25% which means a page will be detected as empty when the total white space, at the net of dust or any imperfections, will reach at least the 99.25% coverage of the full page, no matter of its size.

The default confidence level applies to the most common cases, if you need to tweak the engine you can set a weaker or stronger level.

Warning

If all pages composing the current document should be detected to be empty either because they are empty or for an incorrect confidence level, the output creation will generate an error because no document can be created without pages.
