I have a field in my form named as description. The description contains value of paragraphs spanning over a couple of pages. While training the model, I selected the data to be extracted from multiple pages by selecting the continue drawing option, but when the model was put into practice, it fetched the data from only one page. Even in the Reconciliation Task, I cannot select data from more than one page. Is there any workaround available for this issue?

Looks like we cannot do selection on multiple pages not even using continue drawing. You can save page 1 as field 1 and page 2 as field 2 and concat them later to display or save accordingly.

Appian recommends using "Google Cloud Vision Connected System." for paragraph types.

This approach works best for structured or semi-structured documents. Did you consider to use the new AI extraction features to extract that description in a second step?

I am already using the Document extraction AI skill. I have trained the model as well. The description value that I want to fetch spans over a couple of pages and I want to extract all of that. While training the model I could select the multiple paragraphs in consecutive pages by selecting "continue drawing" on the next page. But in practice, the model only extracts the description from one page, does not fetch from the next page. And, in the reconciliation task, I can only select the description from one page. I want to extract the value of one key- description, which continues on the consecutive pages as well. Will that be possible?

Please use Document Extraction AI Skill for this, after training the model with these types of documents you can use this to solve your issue. For reference on how to use it, please check academy.appian.com/

How many pages you are trying to extract.

Around 2-3 pages

After extraction are you using reconsolidation for verifying the data or not. If yes you can select the correct data to the field.
