PDF Text Extraction Tolerance Factors
When extracting text from a PDF(for example, through a data selection), a lot more happens in the background than what can
be seen on the surface. Reading a PDFfile for text will generally return text fragments, separated by a certain amount of
space. Sometimes the text will be shifted up or down, spacing will be different, etc. In some cases, every letter is considered
to be a different fragment.
Text formatting features such as kerning, bold, exponential, etc, may cause these fragments to be considered as separate
even if, to the naked eye, they obviously belong together.
The PDFText Extraction Tolerance Factors is used to modify the behavior of data selections made from PDFdata files from
within PlanetPress Workflow. Each factor available in this window will determine if two fragments of text in the PDFshould be
part of the same data selection or not.
The default values are generally correct for the greatest majority of PDF data files. Only change these values if you
understand what they are for.
Delta Width
Defines the tolerance for the distance between two text fragments, either positive (space between fragments)or negative
(kerning text where letters overlap). When this value is at 0, the two fragments will need to be exactly one beside the other
with no space or overlap between them.
When this value is at 1, a very large space or overlap will be accepted. This may case "false positives" and separate words
and text blocks may be considered as a single word if the value is too high.
Accepted values range from 0 to 1. The default value is 0.3, recommended values are between 0.05 and 0.30.
Delta Height
Defines the tolerance for the height and position difference between two target fragments. The higher the number, the more
difference between the fragment's height(the tallest font character's height)will be accepted and the more vertical distance
between fragments are accepted. Exponents, for example, are higher and lower.
When this value is 0, no vertical shift is accepted between two fragments. When the value is 1, the second text fragment can
be shifted by as much as the height of the first fragment.
Accepted values range from 0 to 1. The default value is 0.15, recommended values are between 0.00 and 0.50.
Font Delta Height
Defines the tolerance for the difference in average height of fonts in the two target fragments. The higher the number, the
more difference in average font heights will be accepted. The average font height is bigger in text written in uppercase than
