Adding fields to an existing Extract step
For optimization purposes, it is better to add fields to an existing Extract step than to have a
succession of extraction steps.
To add fields to an existing Extract step:
1. In the Data Viewer pane, select the data that needs to be extracted. (See "Selecting data"
on page261.)
2. Select an Extract step on the Steps pane.
3. Right-click on the data and select Add Extract Field, or drag & drop the data on the Data
Model.
When data are dropped on the Data Model, they are by default added to the currently selected
Extract step.
Extracting metadata
The pages in PDF/VT and AFP files can be grouped on several levels. Additional information,
such as TLEs - a TLE is a Tagged Logical Element - in AFP files, can be attached to each level
in the structure. The structure and additional information are stored in the file's metadata.
When setting up a data mapping configuration for these type of files, a metadata level can be
set to define a record.
Next, if you are using the wizard, you can select fields to be extracted from the metadata
automatically.
It is also possible to extract information from the metadata without the wizard. Here's how to do
that.
1. Go to the Steps pane.
2. Click the Extract step toolbar button. This adds an Extract step with one field.
Alternatively you could select an existing Extract step and add a field to it.
3. On the Extract step properties pane, under Field definition, set the field's Mode to
Metadata.
