Details

Sets the current page as the start of a new concatenated document. This action is used with AppendImage to create a single image that is created by concatenating images to the bottom of the first image. AppendImage_StartAsNew identifies the first page and AppendImage identifies all subsequent pages. The result of the action modifies the first image in the document to become a single continuous image like this:

Page 1
Page 2
Page 3

If images are appended before recognition, the entire page area is recognized and click-n-key enabled.

It is recommended to use this action only for documents that have a few pages, such as two or three pages per document. The size of the final composite image can quickly become larger than can be handled by some image viewers and possibly subsequent actions. To keep memory usage to a minimum, you can use 1-bit Black and White images.

Attention: This action operates only on TIFF images.
