Attributes:

1. Create and Initialize the Form Recognition Engine using the Forms Recognition Engine.

                   
               FormRecognitionEngine RecognitionEngine = new FormRecognitionEngine();
                   
               
   

2. Create and add the desired Object managers using the RecognitionObjectsManager.

               RasterCodecs.Startup();
               RasterCodecs FormsCodec = new RasterCodecs();
               DocumentWriter docWriter = null;
               string ocrInstallationDirectory = ""; //use default installation
               IOcrEngine FormsOcrEngine;
               FormsOcrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.Advantage, false);
               FormsOcrEngine.Startup(FormsCodec, docWriter, System.IO.Path.GetTempPath(), ocrInstallationDirectory);
               OcrObjectsManager ocrObjectManager = new OcrObjectsManager(FormsOcrEngine);
               RecognitionEngine.ObjectsManagers.Add(ocrObjectManager);
                                            
   

3. Create the Master Form (or several) attributes using the CreateMasterForm.

               FormRecognitionAttributes attributes;
               attributes = RecognitionEngine.CreateMasterForm(name, Guid.Empty, null);
               
   

4. Add pages to the Master Form using the AddMasterFormPage Method.

               for(int i = 1; i<= image.PageCount; i++) 
                   { 
                    image.Page = i;
                    AddPageToMasterForm(image, attributes); 
                   }
               
   

5. Close the Master Form using the CloseMasterForm Method.

               RecognitionEngine.CloseMasterForm(attributes);
               
   

Processing Fields:

1. Create the Form Processing Engine using the Class.

               FormProcessingEngine ProcessingEngine = new FormProcessingEngine();
               
   

2. Initialize the Form Processing Engine with the OCR engine, Barcode engine, or both engines.

               IOcrEngine FormsOcrEngine;
               FormsOcrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.Professional, false);
               FormsOcrEngine.Startup(null, null, null);
               ProcessingEngine.OcrEngine = FormsOcrEngine;
               BarcodeEngine FormsBarcodeEngine = new BarcodeEngine();
               ProcessingEngine.BarcodeEngine = FormsBarcodeEngine;
                                   
   

3. Create the Form Fields list.

               List<FormField> fields;
               
   

4. Add your form fields to the lists.

               TextFormField text = new TextFormField();
               text.Name = name;
               text.Bounds = new LogicalRectangle(100, 500, 50, 75, LogicalUnit.Pixel);
               fields.Add(text);
               OmrFormField omr = new OmrFormField();
               omr.Name = name;
               omr.Bounds = new LogicalRectangle(200, 300, 25, 25, LogicalUnit.Pixel);
               fields.Add(omr);
               ImageFormField image = new ImageFormField();
               image.Name = name;
               image.Bounds = new LogicalRectangle(100, 1000, 300, 50, LogicalUnit.Pixel); ;
               fields.Add(image);
               BarcodeFormField barcode = new BarcodeFormField();
               barcode.Name = name;
               barcode.Bounds = new LogicalRectangle(700, 100, 300, 100, LogicalUnit.Pixel);
               fields.Add(barcode);
               
   

5. Create a page and add the fields to it.

               FormPage page = new FormPage(image.Page, image.XResolution, image.YResolution);
               page.AddRange(fields);
               
   

6. Add pages to the processing engine.

               ProcessingEngine.Pages.Add(formPage);
               
   

Save Master Form to disk repository:

1. Create a Repository using the Leadtools.Forms.Auto.DiskMasterFormsRepository Class.

               DiskMasterFormsRepository repository;
               repository = new DiskMasterFormsRepository(codecs, @"C:\Forms\FormsDemo\OCR_Test");
               
   

2. Save the Master Form to the repository at the root category.

               repository.RootCategory.AddMasterForm(attributes, ProcessingEngine.Pages, image);
