Image Ingest Engine

The Image ingest engine ingests image files and documents, such as PDF files.

You can use the following parameters to configure ingestion of image files and documents.

Configuration Parameter Description
MaximumPages The maximum number of pages to ingest from a multi-page image or document.
StartPage The page in the image or document at which to start ingesting.
Type The type of ingest engine to use. Set this parameter to Image.

The engine produces the following tracks, where taskName is the name of the ingest task:

  • taskName.Image_1, which contains the ingested images. If you ingest an image file that has only one page, the engine creates a single record in this track. If you ingest a multi-page image or document, the engine creates multiple records in this track. This track can be referred to using the aliases Default_Image and Image_1.
  • taskName.Proxy. This track contains information about the source file.
