average character in the font.
l
Line spacing: Determines the spacing between lines of text. The default value is 1,
meaning the space between lines must be equal to at least the average character height.
l
Paragraph spacing: Determines the spacing between paragraphs. The default value is
1.5, meaning the space between paragraphs must be equal to at least "1.5" times the
average character height to start a new paragraph.
l
Magic number: Determines the tolerance factor for all of the above values. The tolerance
is meant to avoid rounding errors. If two values are more than 70% away from each other,
they are considered distinct; otherwise they are the same. For example, if two characters
have a space of exactly one times the width of the average character, any space of
between "0.7" and "1.43" of this average width is considered one space. A space of
"1.44" is considered to be 2 spaces.
l
PDF file color space: Determines if the PDF if displayed in Color or Monochrome in the
Data Viewer. Monochrome display is faster in the Data Viewer, but this has no influence
on actual data extraction or the data mapping performance.
For Databases
Since data is being taken from a database instead of a data file, the input data option refers
more to the database itself rather than how to interpret the data. After all, databases all return
the same type of information. Because a database generally contains multiple tables, they can
all be listed here. Clicking on any of the tables shows the first line of the data in that table. If you
need more power, click on the Custom SQL button and work on your database using whatever
language the database supports. If it supports stored procedures, including inner joins,
grouping and sorting, it will work perfectly.
The following settings apply to any database or ODBC Data Sample.
l
Connection String: Displays the connection string used to access the Data Source.
l
Table: Displays the tables and stored procedures available in the database. The selected
table is the one the data is extracted from.
l
Encoding: Defines what encoding is used to read the Data Source (US-ASCII, ISO-
8859-1, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE ).
l
Browse button : Opens the Edit Database configuration dialog, which can replace
the existing database data source with a new one. This is the same as using the Replace
feature in the Data Samples window.
