            for (DocTypeOutput result : results) {
                System.out.println(result.source
                        + ", page " + result.page
                        + ": " + result.docType
                        + " (" + result.confidence + ")");

        }
    }

import com.aspose.ocr.AsposeOCR;
import com.aspose.ocr.DocTypeOutput;
import com.aspose.ocr.InputType;
import com.aspose.ocr.OcrInput;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class DetectDocumentTypePdfExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        OcrInput input = new OcrInput(InputType.PDF);
        input.add("mixed-document.pdf", 0, 3);

        try (AsposeOCR api = new AsposeOCR()) {
            ArrayList<DocTypeOutput> results = api.DetectDocumentType(input);

            for (DocTypeOutput result : results) {
                System.out.println("Page " + result.page
                        + ": " + result.docType
                        + " (" + result.confidence + ")");
