Use Regular Expressions
If selected, the processor interprets the
Table Start

, and
Page Footer
as regular expressions and searches for matching text. If not selected the processor interprets these fields as literal text.
Recalculate at Runtime
If you select this option,
PdfToTxt_4
ignores the table configurations that you specified using the table configuration editor. This feature is useful if the tables in a PDF are simple enough for the
PdfToTxt_4
to process without special configuration.
For example, suppose a simple PDF financial statement contains a table whose columns may vary slightly from month to month. Select the
Recalculate at Runtime
option to have
PdfToTxt_4
adjust the column widths at runtime.
Recalculate Now
If you have changed the table definition, for example by changing column borders or adding a
Page Header
or
Page Footer
, click
Recalculate Now
to update the table definition.
Page
Number of the PDF page that is currently displayed.
Output as XML

PdfToTxt_4
output as XML instead of text.
Delimiter
Enter a character to use as the column separator in the text output. The default is a vertical bar (|).
OK
Click to save the table configuration and return to the Developer tool.
Cancel
Click to return to the Developer tool without saving the table configuration.
Table Navigation Aid
The table navigation aid displays the number of times a table is found in the PDF document. An example of a navigation aid is
Table ‘Table 1’ found 2 times
. The arrows next to this information let you jump back and forth among the instances of the same table structure.
