l Match case: Select to force the splitter to match the character casing. Note that this setting
applies both to the On region change and Specific word options. If this option is selected, “DAY”
and “Day” will not be considered as matching the search string “day”.
l Trim selection: Select to force the splitter to strip empty trailing characters. When this option is
not selected, blank trailing characters, if any, are considered in the matching process, so the
word “DAY” will not be considered as matching the word “DAY”. Note that this setting applies
only to the On region change option.
l Where to split: By default, the task splits the file at the beginning of the line on which the
condition is met (the default value is 0). If you want the task to split the file a certain number of
lines before or after that line, enter a value other than 0 in this box. Enter 1, for example, to split
the file at the beginning of the line that precedes the line on which the condition is met.
l Before: If you entered a value other than 0 in the Where to split box, select this option if you want
to split the file a given number of lines before the line on which the condition is met.
l After: If you entered a value other than 0 in the Where to split box, select this option if you want to
split the file a given number of lines after the line on which the condition is met.
l When condition is found: By default, the task splits the file every time the condition is met (the
default value is 1). If you want the task to split the file only when the condition has been met
twice, for example, enter the number 2 in this box.
l Split PDFfile based on Metadata group:
l Metadata Level: Determines on which level of the metadata the split occurs. This can be Group,
Document to Data page.
l Sequencing based on:
l The following number of occurrences of the level: Determine a sequence based on the
number of instances found for the metadata level currently processed. For example, if the
Metadata level is set to Group, and this value is set to 3, each sequence contains 3 groups
(except, possibly, the last one, depending on the number of groups left in the last
sequence). The next loop starts with the next group after this sequence.
l Thefollowing number of sequences in the job:Divides the metadata into a set number
of sequences and equally distributes the number of levels between the sequences. For
example, it the Metadata level is set to Document, and this value is set to 5, a 100
document job file will be divided into 5 sequences of 20 documents each.
l Thefollowing rule: Determine if a new sequence starts or if the current one ends. For each
metadata level, the current value of the specified metadata attribute / field is compared with
the one in memory. If they are different, either a new sequence starts or the current
sequence is ended. The next sequence starts with the next metadata level being
processed. For details see the Rule Interface.
