Optimize document processing with advanced flags

The Advanced Flags field allows entry of certain options that cannot be entered via the GUI.

OptionDescription
-B 100Blank Page Removal
This option can be used when converting TIFF files to Searchable PDFs. A value should be provided which specifies the pixel threshold to be used to determine whether a page is blank or not. If a page is deemed to be blank, it is omitted from the output file. A suggested value is 100 i.e., using the –B advanced flag: -B 100
-DDot Matrix Processing
This option will significantly improve recognition for dot matrix documents but should not be used when processing other document types as it will have a negative impact on non-dot matrix documents.
-0Custom Despeckle
When used in combination with the despeckle option, this has the effect of de-speckling the page for OCR processing, but the image retained in the final file is not de-speckled.
-qCustom Quantization
This command line option should generally only be used under guidance from technical support. It can control the way that color images are processed and force binarization with a particular threshold. (For example -q 127).
