The Analyze Single Page Document activity uses the Amazon Textract AnalyzeDocument API to synchronously analyze a local document (DocumentPath) or a document stored in an S3 bucket (Bucket, DocumentName, and Version). If your document includes a table, you have the option to indicate if the first row contains column headers (DiscoverColumnHeaders) and/or ignore empty rows (IgnoreEmptyRows).

After analyzing the document, the activity returns the document properties in a PageDetail object (Page) that you can use as input variables in other activities outside of the Amazon Textract Activities Package.

How it works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the Setup steps.
2. Add the Amazon Scope activity to your project.
3. Add the Analyze Single Page Document inside the Amazon Scope activity.
4. Enter values for the Local Path or the S3 Storage input properties.
5. Create and enter a PageDetail variable for your Output (Page) property.
6. Run the activity.
   • Your input properties are sent to the AnalyzeDocument API.
   • The API returns the PageDetail value (Page) to your output property variable.
