OCR Parser

Important: The system no longer supports OCR tools.

FirstPage={1...n	Specifies the first page to process. If you do not specify a first page, the file is processed up the the LastPage you specify.
LastPage={0...n.}	Specifies the last page to process. If LastPage has the same value as FirstPage, only one page is processed. If LastPage=0, all pages are processed. If you do not specify LastPage, all pages after FirstPage are processed.
Dictionary={any_dictionary_name.txt}	Specifies the name of the dictionary you have created in \CIC\work\dictionary directory on your CIC Server. You must include the .TXT extension. Do not specify a path, and do not include spaces in your dictionary names.
