SetMultiPageTiff

When used before the Scan action, this action tells the Scan action to split multipage TIFF files into single page TIFF files.

Syntax

bool SetMultiPageTiff ()

Parameters

None.

Returns

Always True.

Level

Any level but usually the batch level.

Details

Permits the use of multipage source image files. For this action to take effect, it must be called before the Scan action.

This action cannot be used if fast mode is enabled. It also requires that SetImageType be called with only one extension of TIF, TIFF, JPG or JPEG. If this action is used when fast mode is enabled, the Scan action returns False.

Example

SetImageType(".tif")
SetMultiPageTiff()
Scan()

If the Scan action in this sequence encounters a multipage .tif file, then it reads each one into the current batch as a separate image, thereby bursting the multipage file into individual images.
