extract(left, right, verticalOffset, lineHeight, separator)
ExtractsthetextvaluefromarectangularregioninaPDFfile.Allcoordinatesareexpressedinmil-
limeters.
left
Doublethatrepresentsthedistancefromtheleftedgeofthepagetotheleftedgeoftherectangular
region.
right
Doublethatrepresentsthedistancefromtheleftedgeofthepagetotherightedgeoftherectangular
region.
verticalOffset
Doublethatrepresentsthedistancefromthecurrentverticalposition.
lineHeight
Doublethatrepresentsthetotalheightoftheregion.
separator
Stringinsertedbetweenalllinesreturnedfromtheregion.Ifyoudon'twantanythingtobeinserted
betweenthelines,specifyanemptystring("").
Tip: "<br/>"isaveryhandystringtouseasaseparator.Whentheextracteddataisinsertedina
Designertemplate,itwillbeinterpretedasalinebreak,because<br/>isalinebreakinHTML
andDesignertemplatesareactuallyHTMLfiles.
Example
Thescriptcommanddata.extract(4.572,51.815998,37.761333,3.7253342,"<br />");meansthatthe
leftpositionoftheextractedinformationislocatedat4.572mm,therightpositionat51.815998mm,the
verticaloffsetis37.761333mmandthelineheightis3.7253342mm.Finally,the"<br/>"stringisused
forconcatenation.
