Page

This element allows you to break large forms into several pages that are recognized as a single document. Pages must always be top-level elements in the form hierarchy and cannot be nested within other layout elements. The source code of the form must include at least one Page element.

Page element does not have a visual representation and is only used to organize form content.

Generated pages are marked with a special QR code that is automatically added to their margin, even if you do not use the Barcode element. This QR code is used as a page identifier and allows the recognition engine to treat multiple scanned images as one form.

• Even if a printable form is split into multiple pages, it will have a single recognition pattern (.OMR) file.
• At the moment, new pages are not automatically created, even if the content does not fit on one page.

Declaration

Page element is declared as an object with "element_type": "Page" property as a child of the top-level Template element. Multiple pages are provided as array items.

{
	"element_type": "Page",
	"children": [
		/*** put child elements here */
	]
}

Required properties

Name	Type	Description
children	array	Child elements.

Optional properties

Name	Type	Default value	Description
name	string	n/a	Used as a reminder of the element’s purpose; for example, “Page 1”. You can use the same value for multiple pages. This text is not displayed on the form.
orientation	string	Portrait	Override individual page orientation: Horizontal - landscape Vertical - portrait
paper_size	string	A4	Override the physical dimensions for the individual page. See details below.
left_margin	int	210 pixels	Override the size of the left page margin in pixels.
right_margin	int	210 pixels	Override the size of the right page margin in pixels.
rotation_point_position	string	Below the top-right square positioning marker.	Override the placement of the rectangular positioning marker that is used to detect the page orientation. See details below.

Supported paper sizes

The paper_size property controls the paper size of the generated form. All form elements will be re-aligned to best match the selected paper size.

Enumeration	Page dimensions (pixels)	Page dimensions (mm)	Page dimensions (inches)
A3	3508 x 4961	297 x 420	11.7 x 16.5
A4	2480 x 3508	210 x 297	8.3 x 11.7
Legal	2551 x 4205	215.9 x 355.6	8.5 x 14
Letter	2551 x 3295	215.9 x 279.4	8.5 x 11
p8519	2551 x 5702	215.9 x 482.6	8.5 x 19
p8521	2551 x 6302	215.9 x 533.4	8.5 x 21
Tabloid	3295 x 5102	279 x 432	11 x 17

The selected paper size does not affect the size of bubbles, images or fonts. Changing the paper size only affects the positioning of elements on the page.

Positioning marker placement

The rotation_point_position property controls the placement of the rectangular positioning marker that is used to detect the page orientation:

Enumeration	Result
