This example shows how to find a signature on a document with the help of a Mixed Print recognition profile and how to save the snippet for further processing to a separate file. The information about the print type is saved in the LongTag property of the box, where the following values are applied:

1 = hand

2 = signature

Define the function CreateSignatureFiles in the project script so that it is accessible from every other script sheet.

This image file can be inserted as a new document by using the AddDocument method.

Public Function CreateSignatureFiles(pXDoc As CASCADELib.CscXDocument, Prefix as string) As Boolean
   Dim Rep As CscXDocRepresentation
   Dim Box As CscXDocBox
   Dim i As Integer
   Dim ImageOrig As CscImage
   Dim ImageBox As CscImage

   If pXDoc.Representations.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub

   Set Rep = pXDoc.Representations(0)
   For i = 0 To Rep.Boxes.Count - 1
      Set Box = Rep.Boxes(i)
      If Box.LongTag = 2 Then
         Set ImageOrig = pXDoc.CDoc.Pages(Box.PageIndex).GetBitonalImage(Project.ColorConversion)
         Set ImageBox = New CscImage
         ImageBox.CreateImage(CscImageColorFormat.CscImgColFormatBinary, Box.Width, Box.Height, ImageOrig.XResolution, ImageOrig.YResolution)
         ImageBox.CopyRect(ImageOrig, Box.Left, Box.Top, 0, 0, Box.Width, Box.Height)
         ImageBox.Save("C:\Temp\" + Prefix + "_" + CStr(i) + "_(" + CStr(Box.Left) + "," + CStr(Box.Top) + ")_[" + CStr(Box.Width) + "," + CStr(Box.Height) + "]_Type" + CStr(Box.LongTag) + ".tif")
      End If
   Next

End Function
