Line selector

Overview​

The line selector converts incoming characters or paragraphs into lines (see also see type of output in Picker selector).

Properties​

Char spacing​

The character spacing property specifies the distance between two adjoining characters that is treated as a space:

  • Normal means 1 x (space character width in the current font)
  • Large means 2 x (space character width in the current font)
  • Huge means 4 x (space character width in the current font)
note

We advise using the line selector as an auxiliary selector. While it is possible to use the line selector as the first selector in the parsing pipeline, it will convert the entire PDF content into lines. Be careful, as this can negatively affect performance.

Result overview​

Resultant text will be presented in lines (see type of output in Picker selector).
