This chapter tells you how to process Deferred, Finish, and Batch jobs.
Finish Processing lets you combine the efficiency of multi-step automatic operation
with the power and flexibility of single-step interactive operation. You can process
pages in your document according to their specific characteristics, while still having
automatic processing available for the rest of the pages in the document.
The two stages of deferred processing—Create Deferred Job and Process Deferred
Jobs—give you similar efficiency and flexibility, and additionally let you save the
documents and automatically complete processing from the saved file.
With Batch Processing you can specify a source directory that contains image files,
and then process the files that are the same type all at the same time. The processed
files are automatically saved in a format that you select to a specified destination
directory.
When you use automatic processing (Auto OCR), you can efficiently and
automatically perform Get Page, Locate, and Recognize on large stacks of pages.
However, you can only use one set of Gallery settings on that document during an
automatic processing session. Automatic processing is fine when the same settings
are appropriate for all pages. But when you need to apply different settings to
different pages and still want the ability to process large numbers of pages at once,
use finish processing or deferred processing.
Finish Processing and the two stages of deferred processing let you fill in the gaps
to handle the pages that one set of Gallery settings won't handle. Perform this type
of processing when some of the pages you're processing need more individual
attention than Auto OCR can provide, but you don't want to be tied to single-step
processing of every page. For example, when you need more than one Get Page,
