Argus Text Table Sample Configuration

Config File

• textConfigs/gridText.cfg
  Example configuration for PDF documents which contain tables of data which must be output in text format. The primary intent of this configuration is to handle PDFs which contain “tables” of data where the rows and columns were originally created by laying out plain text in a monospaced font. This most often occurs in the case of PDFs containing tables of financial data.

Command Line

• argus -c textConfigs/gridText.cfg -a expenses3.pdf
  

Sample Data

• Input file
  expenses3.pdf
• Output file
  Text table file

Important Config Values

• [Argus Controls]
  Text Path - defines the directory path, filename and whether there will be a single file or a file per page for the output text
  Gridded Text - dictates that layout of text should be retained using spaces to separate words.

  See Argus reference manual for complete config value descriptions.
