Geometric

Defines a rectangular region using anchors, and extracts the character data bounded by the region as a Section Instance.

Remarks

Geometric section extraction is performed as follows:

The Main Extractor establishes the initial region.
Each edge of the region can then be adjusted using text anchors, page boundaries, or manual rules.
The result can then be expanded to detected lines which bound the region..

NOTE: This method cannot be used in cases where the section content spans multiple pages.

Inherits from: Section Extract Method

The following 6 properties are defined.

Property Name	Description
General
Main Extractor	Type: Embedded Extractor The extractor to be used to identify the initial region for each Section Instance. Each instance returned by this extractor will become a Section Instance in the output. Please note that any results returned by this extractor which span multiple pages will be discarded.
Left Adjustment	Type: Edge Adjustment Defines an optional adjustment for the left edge of each output instance.
Top Adjustment	Type: Edge Adjustment Defines an optional adjustment for the top edge of each output instance.
Right Adjustment	Type: Edge Adjustment Defines an optional adjustment for the right edge of each output instance.
Bottom Adjustment	Type: Edge Adjustment Defines an optional adjustment for the bottom edge of each output instance.
Line Detect Limit	Type: Border, Default: 0 If this property is set, line detection will be enabled, and the section region will be expanded to nearby lines. Line detection is performed after the initial region has been established using the Main Extractor and edge adjustments. This property defines the maximum distance from each edge of the initial region to a detected line. Any empty value disables line detection.
