Patch codes are typically used to indicate to a TWAIN device that a specific action is to be taken with certain pages in a document being scanned, such as organization or classification. However, if a document has already been scanned or only ever existed as a digital copy, LEADTOOLs can still process the patch codes. The code snippet below show how to use the LEADTOOLS barcode reader to divide a document into multiple output files based on where patch codes are detected.
BarcodeReaderCode:
public static void SplitPatchDocument(string inputFile)
{
RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs();
codecs.Options.Load.AllPages = true;
BarcodeReader reader = new BarcodeEngine().Reader;
RasterImage image = codecs.Load(inputFile);
int startPage = 1;
int sectionNumber = 1;
// iterate over each page in the document
for (int i = 0; i < image.PageCount; i++)
{
image.Page = i + 1;
// check the page for patch codes
BarcodeData[] data = reader.ReadBarcodes(image, LeadRect.Empty, 0, new BarcodeSymbology[] { BarcodeSymbology.PatchCode });
// if a patch code is here, save out this portion of the document
if (data.Length > 0)
{
string filename = string.Format("split_{0}.tif", sectionNumber);
codecs.Save(image, filename, RasterImageFormat.Tif, 0, startPage, image.Page, 1, CodecsSavePageMode.Overwrite);
// set the page to start the next document section on to be the next page after the patch page to prevent doubles
startPage = image.Page + 1;
// increment the iterator for the divided files
sectionNumber++;
}
}
// finally, save the pages from the last patch page detected to the end of the document
if (startPage <= image.PageCount)
{
string filename = string.Format("split_{0}.tif", sectionNumber);
codecs.Save(image, filename, RasterImageFormat.Tif, 0, startPage, image.PageCount, 1, CodecsSavePageMode.Overwrite);
}
}
