The "PageBreak" in Azure AI Document Intelligence v4

Question

The "PageBreak" in Azure AI Document Intelligence v4

Xi, Jonathan 25

This is a follow-up discussion for adding the real page number in the markdown output.

With the Azure AI Document Intelligence v4, the output contains "" for each page, probably we can replace this flag with the real page number. However, I can't find any documentation about the "", so not sure whether it's a temporary change. Would like the Azure AI Document Intelligence team to help confirm.

Hi @Xi, Jonathan,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

The  marker in Azure AI Document Intelligence v4 output is used to denote page breaks in the extracted content. However, there is no official documentation available regarding this marker, so its purpose and permanence are unclear. To get a definitive answer, it would be best to contact the Azure AI Document Intelligence team through a support request in the Azure portal. This will ensure clarity on whether this behaviour is standard or subject to change in future updates.

I hope you understand! Thank you.

@santoshkc Sure, just got the reply from the Azure support team.

I've confirmed that PageBreak tag was introduced in the v4 API to mark the boundaries of physical pages. You can leverage the PageBreak tag to quickly identify which page the markdown content originates from, so you can use for your customization.
