The Create Serializer command inverts the anchors of a Parser. It does not invert components such as document processors, transformers, or actions.

For example, suppose that a Parser uses a

PdfToTxt_4

document processor to convert PDF source documents to text. The Parser contains anchors that transform the text to XML.

The auto-generated Serializer transforms the XML back to text. It does not convert the text to PDF. To obtain PDF output, edit the Serializer and insert an

XmlToDocument

processor.

In another example, suppose that a Parser uses an

AddString

transformer to add a prefix to the output of a

Content

anchor. The auto-generated Serializer does not remove the prefix. If you need to remove it, you can insert a component such as a

Replace

transformer.
