Matching Text Elements

The Text section contains text elements, such as paragraph or heading, and link element.

  • Paragraph: indicates meaningful text content.
  • Heading: specifies the title of a specific section, indicating the content of the section.
      Note:
    • The heading section is required for a PDF document to be fully accessible.
    • To differentiate different heading levels, use the Heading Level option from the PROPERTIES section, on the right side of the screen.
  • Link: indicates a rule matching a text that represent a URL link.
      Note:
    • Paragraph, Heading or Link have default Text Type set on Regular Expression.
  • Block Lines: matches all lines in a region as separate paragraphs.

    The PROPERTIES section on the right side of the screen supports the Export As functionality for exporting X, Y, Width or Height coordinates into the control file.Block Lines Properties

      Note:
    • This rule can be used on different line and row sizes, or heights.
    • The use of Block Lines becomes visible on the workspace area only when you validate the PDF.Block Lines
  • Block Paragraphs: indicates a macro that automatically creates paragraphs and lists, together with list items, from the selected area.
  • Reference: matches the references or end notes on documents that contain such type of information.
    Note: If you only wish to match as reference the superscript from the selected area, use the Small Text check box within the PROPERTIES section of the rule.
