For a PDF File
When you open a PDF/VT within the Wizard, it actually gives you the options to set the
boundaries directly. Then you need to select the record or the level at which you have a new
Source Record. We also need to select what we want to extract. What the PDF Wizard will do
is extract the fields that were selected and set the boundaries automatically On metadata as
we can see in the boundary settings. Of course as with any PDF data file, you do have the
ability to extract more information afterwards.
To create a PDF/VT file data mapping configuration using the wizard, use the following steps:
From the Welcome screen
1.
Open the PlanetPress ConnectWelcome page by clicking the icon at the top right or
select the Help menu and then Welcome.
2.
Click Create a New Configuration.
3.
From the Using a wizard pane, select PDF/VT.
4.
Click the Browse button and open the PDF/VT file you want to work with. Click Next.
