property to open the table configuration editor.
The table configuration editor customizes the way tables are read. Use it to correct problems with column alignment, word wrapping, line spacing, and overflow from one cell to another. For more information, see PdfToTxt_4 Table Configuration Editor.
The
PdfToTxt_4
document processor generates text output by default. Use the table configuration editor to select XML output. The XML conforms to the
PDF4.xsd
schema, which you can find in the following directory:
<INSTALL_DIR>\DataTransformation\doc
When you use the
PdfToTxt_4
document processor, set the input encoding to UTF-8 to enable the Parser, Mapper, or Serializer to correctly read the document.
The PdfToTxt pre-processor might not support certain PDFs with embedded fonts. If the pre-processor fails, copy the text from the input PDF into Notepad to check for embedded fonts. If you cannot paste the text or if is corrupted, the PDF probably contains embedded fonts.
