Indexing
Any data in the print files can be extracted for use as Bookmarks
or output to a file (for AFP printstreams this includes data found
in TLE and NOP records). When data is specified for extraction
to an output file it is extracted into fields specified by the
user.

Print Stream and Associated Resource
Support
The PRO Indexer component utilizes the
underlying PRO interpreters for printstreams and resource processing.
This allows PRO Indexer to be used with
any print language including AFP, Xerox LCDS, Metacode, PostScript,
PCL and PDF. |

|
|
|

|
Processing Modes
One of five different processing modes can be used to process
the print stream. Selection of the appropriate processing mode
is determined by the characteristics of the print stream and the
application requirements.
The processing modes are:
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Record mode for print record-oriented applications
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Line mode for line data applications |
|
| |
|
|
|
APA for simple All Point Addressable applications |
|

|
|
FAPA |

Index file configuration
PRO Indexer uses a file
of commands or rules, specified by the user, to define the data
to be extracted from the printstream.
The rules describe:
|
|
| |
|
|
|
The phrases or text in the printstream, called triggers,
which are used to identify the data to be extracted.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
The location, relative to the trigger, and any uniquely
qualifying characteristics of the data to be extracted as fields. |
|
| |
|
|
|
The fields to be Bookmarked or combined to create
a record of extracted data, the order in which the fields are
to appear in the record and optionally the format of the records
written to the file of extracted data. |
