The Document Processing node is used to trigger:

• The Predefined Document Functions used to manipulate document or the document table, so that it meets the requirement of succeeding steps of the automation process.
  Different actions like splitting the PDF, merging PDFs, extracting image/text from a specific area in the PDF, setting status/validations for columns in the Document Table, etc. can be achieved using this node.
• The Custom Document Functions created for specific requirements if not met by the Predefined Document Functions.
• The other generic functions.

If you have an Invoice Document that is a combination of multiple invoices, you can use the Document Processing node to trigger the Split PDF to Pages function. It splits the document into pages having one invoice each before processing it in the DOC Reader node.
If the Bank for which the Accounts Statement is received needs to be identified, use Document Processing node to trigger the Find Occurrence Of Dictionary Item function and use the function return value in the next steps of automation.
