DocView Capture
With the advanced split, every page is classified on its own and a new document starts where the type changes, so stacks need no separator sheets at all. Batches with an uncertain split go to Classification, where the operator moves pages between documents by drag and drop.
Try it
Create a Batch Setup from this template (Batch Setups › New Batch Setup, tab System features), and download its sample documents from the template's card (Download samples). Then: Import mixed-post-no-separators.pdf. The pages are split into documents where the type changes. Open Classification to see how a split is checked.
