Image Template tool

Hi all,

 

How can the Image Template tool in the 'Computer Vision' tool palette dynamically select a PDF file with a maximum file size from the Directory tool or Image Input tool and read the table text in it?

 

I also wanted to know how to prevent the selection part from being distorted in different tables on all pages whenever a new file is selected via the Image Template tool.

 

Thanks & regards,

STJ.

Hi @stj1120 ,

 

You can use the directory tool to search whatever folder/filepath you want to find the templates. Then, wrap the Image Template tool in a batch macro and configure the Control Parameter to overwrite the fullpath of the template you want:

To determine a max file path, and select the template you want, you can filter on the filesize in the Directory tool, make your selection and feed that value into the batch macro.

 

Not sure how this will react with your template settings though...
