Note
PCL and PostScript (PS) files are automatically converted to PDF format before showing that PDF
in the Data Viewer. This happens once when opening the file, but in the Workflow it happens for
every file. Depending on the processing power available, this may influence the processing speed.
Using a Wizard
The DataMapper module wizards are basically shortcuts to help get started and quickly create
a data mapping configuration. The data mapping wizards are only available for CSV and
database tabular files as well as PDF/VT, because these files contain metadata that can be
used to automatically set boundaries.
When using a wizard to create a new data mapping configuration, you select the file you want
to extract the data from, and the wizard automatically selects the appropriate settings for
extracting the data. All fields are automatically extracted.
