Table Of Contents
since PDF pages do not have a grid concept of lines and columns, the above parameters
would instead be specified in millimeters relative to the upper left corner of each page. So
for instance, to create a region for the Year, the code might look like this:
region.createRegion(190,20,210,25)
which would create a region located near the upper right corner of the page.
That's the only similarity, though, since the script for a PDF would have to look through
the entire page and probably make multiple extractions on each one since it isn't dealing
with single lines like the TXT example given here.
For more information on the API syntax, please refer to "DataMapper Scripts API" on page396.
