The ID String is used by the PDF Input Filter processor to identify the beginning of a new document.

  1. Select an ID String by dragging the mouse over the desired text in the sample PDF file. When the mouse is released, the text will be highlighted in yellow.
    Tip:

    Ensure that the ID String highlighted belongs to the correct Document Type before proceeding.

  2. Select Add ID to Current Document.
    The selected string is displayed immediately below the ID String branch, along with the TOP, BOTTOM, RIGHT, and LEFT coordinates of the string on the displayed page and the Operator being used. After configuration, click on the coordinates of the string to confirm the location of the keyword. ID strings are displayed in light blue.
    Note:

    Document ID strings are limited to 35 characters.

  3. If desired, you can modify the Operator by double-clicking on the Operator branch. The following values are available:

    Operator Value

    Description

    AND

    When this value is selected, the Visual PDF Input Filter process will only locate and process pages that contain all configured ID Strings. Any pages that lack one or more of the configured ID Strings will be stored in the SYS Unidentified Items Document Type.

    This value is selected by default.

    OR

    When this value is selected, the Visual PDF Input Filter process will locate and process pages that contain any of the configured ID Strings.
  4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for any additional Document Types in the Process Format.
