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. In this way, no need to inspect other items for whether it is
on the first page or the last page. you know you have found the string two
times, which is enough to fix 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 document is not
located on the first page of each Source Record.
l
Operator: Selects the type of comparison that is done (for example,
"contains").
l
Word to find: Compares the text value with the value in the Source Record.
l
Match case: Makes the text comparison case-sensitive.
For a Text File
For a Text file, the natural delimiter is also a Page, but contrary to PDF, the Page delimiter can
either be explicit (say, when a Form Feed character is encountered in the Data Source) or
implicit (when a certain number of lines has been reached - usually around 66). Once more,
you wouldn't find the end of a record in the middle of a line. Note also that with this format, it's
possible to set the DataMapper's Input Data settings to 1 line per page. That essentially allows
you to set the natural delimiter on each and every line in the file.
l
Record limit: Defines how many Source Records are displayed in the Data Viewer. To
disable the limit, use the value "0".
l
Trigger: Defines the type of rule that defines when a boundary is created, establishing a
new record in the Data Sample (called a Source Record).
l
On delimiter: Defines a boundary on a static number of pages.
l
Occurrences: The number of times that the delimiter is encountered before
fixing the boundary. For example, if you know that your documents always
have four pages delimited by the FF character, you can set the boundaries
whenever you counted four delimiters.
l
On text: Defines a boundary on a specific text comparison in the Source Record.
