Use the Document languages dropdown menu to specify the languages used when identifying forms. Note that this information is important to specify in cases where documents contain scanned images, as OCR is used to obtain the names of identified fields.

Select the Consider table cells with contents as potential fields box to include table cells in the process of identifying forms.

Use the Page Range options to determine the page range on which the operation is performed. Further information on the specification of page ranges is available here.
