Hi,
Is there an example of how I could use Smart OCR or a script to split a document when it sees certain ref numbers? Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi Stan,
the split option is available in the Zone OCR where you can look for a specific pattern within a certain area (not the whole document). If this is matching your requirements you can draw a zone over the potential area and when using the split option you will be entering a RegExp to match for: https://help.scanshare.com/home/processing/processing-zone-ocr/#zone.
Otherwise there is no direct split for Smart OCR and script but you may use a singe page split and re-appending when the numbers are found with Smart OCR or script on every single page.
Basically the re-appending approach can be done by using the Smart OCR variable containing the found pattern and a script to update a variable for the output filename:
- Set variable to something default
- If SmartOCR finds something update the variable with a script
- Output with appending enabled to the updated filename (if found a new name should be generated by the script checking, if not found the previous name should be used)
