You can export a project’s documents and use them in a different Columbus engine-based application or on a different machine. You can also import documents for your project.

The output of the learning process is an extractor file. You can use this file to prepare another instance for extraction without learning the project again.

A batch stream set contains all the information another instance needs to learn a project locally. It consists of two files. The PTB file contains the documents, and the CBM file contains bitmaps. Both files are exported as a ZIP archive file.

A project’s documents can be exported as a ZIP archive file. The file’s folder structure replicates the existing classes and includes the images, position files and value files for each document. The export produces position files with a .pos extension and value files with a .ival extension. Documents exported in this way can be imported easily with the Import option.

Note: All training and test documents must be uploaded with word position files.
