PdfToTxt_4 Table Configuration Editor

The table configuration editor customizes the way the

PdfToTxt_4

document processor converts tables in PDF documents.

Use the table configuration editor when default settings of the

PdfToTxt_4

document processor do not correctly render column alignment, word wrapping, line spacing, or overflow from one cell to another.

The user interface for the table configuration editor appears only in English.

Add a Parser, Mapper, Serializer, or

AdditionalInputPort

to the Script.

Under the

example_source

property, set the

pre_processor

property to PdfToTxt_4.

Under the

pre_processor

property, double-click the

value

property.

The table configuration editor appears. The upper panel displays the input PDF document, and the lower panel displays the

PdfToTxt_4

output.

Table editing commands appear in the toolbar at the top of the window. You can right-click to display an editing menu.

Browse to a table in the PDF document and click

Add Table

The name of the table appears in the

Tables

field and in the

Name

field.

Select

Use Regular Expressions

. In the

Table Start

field, enter a regular expression that defines the upper left corner of the table.

Use the headings of the first two columns as the regular expression. Add more column headings as needed to make

Table Start

unique. Separate the headings by a single space character, even if the columns are widely separated.

In the

Table End

field, enter a regular expression that defines the text immediately after the table.

The value of

Table End

must appear in the body of the document, not in a page footer.

Click

Process

The editor displays the table configuration that

PdfToTxt_4

detects. The top and bottom of the table appear as horizontal blue lines. The default column borders appear as vertical red lines.

To edit the column borders, perform one or more of the following steps:

Drag a column border to the right or left to change its position.

Click

Add Column

to add a column.

Click

Remove Column

and select a column border to delete a column.

If the table contains horizontally merged cells,

PdfToTxt_4

might truncate the entries.

Examine the output window to confirm that the table is converted properly. If not, correct the table definitions.

Repeat steps 1-9 for each table in the PDF document.

Click

to return to the Developer tool.

An XML string that defines the table configuration appears in the

value

property of the

PdfToTxt_4

document processor.
