beonlyonesourcerecord.

Whethersourcerecordsareoutputasindividualrecordsdependsonthetrigger.Either:

Alldatafoundinchildelementsoftheselectedparentelementareextractedtofieldsattherootofthe

DataModel.Ifavalueconsistsofanobjectorarray,theentireobjectorarrayisextractedtoonedata

field.

Fieldnamesarederivedfromkeys,objectsandarraysinthefirstrecord,butthosearen'tnecessarily

thesameinasubsequentrecord.Iffollowingrecordshaveadifferentstructure,forexampleifarecord

hasmorechildelementscomparedtothefirstrecord,somedatamaynotgetextracted.

Anyelementsoutsidetheselectedparentelementarerepeatedinthesourcerecords,buttheydon't

getextractedautomatically.

Using the wizard for PDF/VT or AFP files

AFPinputisonlyavailableinPReSConnect.

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.

TheDataMapperwizardforPDF/VTandAFPfilesletsyouselectaleveltotriggerthestartofanew

recordanditalsoenablesyoutoextracttheadditionalinformationfromthemetadata.Youcanextract

datafromthecontentafterwards.

Tip: Howtoextractinformationfromthemetadataintheextractionworkflowitselfisexplainedin:

"Extractingmetadata"onpage232.

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.
