Table Of Contents
l On page: Defines a boundary on a static number of pages.
l Number of pages: Defines how many pages go in each record.
l On text: Defines a boundary on a specific text comparison.
l Start coordinates (x,y): Defines the left and top coordinates of the data
selection to compare with the text value.
l Stop coordinates (x,y): Defines the right and bottom coordinates.
l Use Selection: Select an area in the Data Viewer and click the Use selection
button to set the start and stop coordinates to the current data selection.
Note:In a PDF file, all coordinates are in millimeters.
l Times condition found: When the boundaries are based on the presence of
specific text, you can specify after how many instances of this text the
boundary can be effectively defined. For example, if a string is always found
on the first and on the last page of a document, you could specify a number of
occurrences of 2. This way, there is no need to inspect other items for whether
it is on the first page or the last page. Having found the string two times is
enough to set the boundary.
l Pages before/after: Defines the boundary a certain number of pages before
or after the current page. This is useful if the text triggering the boundary is not
located on the first page of the record.
l Operator: Selects the type of comparison (for example, "contains").
l Word to find: Compares the text value with the value in the data source.
l Match case: Makes the text comparison case sensitive.
Text file boundaries
For a text file, Boundaries determine how many 'data pages' are included in each record. These
don't have to be actual pages, as is the case with PDF files. The data page delimiters are set in
the "Text file Input Data settings" on page350.
l Record limit: Defines how many records are displayed in the Data Viewer. This does not
affect output production; when generating output, this option is ignored. To disable the
limit, use the value 0 (zero).
l Selection/Text is based on bytes: Select this option for text records with fixed width
fields whose length is based on the number of bytes and not the number of characters.
l Trigger: Defines the type of rule that controls when a boundary is set, creating a new
record.
