Tip
How to extract information from the metadata in the extraction workflow itself is explained
in: "Extracting metadata" on page234.
If the data file doesn't contain any metadata, each page is a new record - in other words, a
boundary is set at the start of a new page -, which is exactly what happens when you open the
file without a wizard.
You can open a PDF/VT or AFP file with a wizard using the Welcome screen or the File menu.
l 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 New DataMapper Configuration.
3. From the Using a wizard pane, select PDF/VT or AFP.
4. Click the Browse button and open the PDF/VT or AFP file you want to work with.
Click Next.
l From the File menu
1. In the menu, click File > New.
2. Click the Data mapping Wizards drop-down and select From PDF/VT or AFP.
3. Click Next.
4. Click the Browse button and open the PDF/VT or AFP file you want to work with.
Click Next.
After selecting the file, select the following options in the Metadata page:
l Metadata record levels: Use the drop-down to select what level in the metadata defines
a record.
l Field List: This list displays all fields on the chosen level and higher levels in the PDF/VT
or AFP metadata. The right column shows the field name. The left column displays the
level on which it is located. Check any field to add it to the extraction.
