Page selector

Deprecated

Page selector is not available in the editor since 4.3.2, it now can be edited using search area instead

Overview

The page selector can be used to restrict the search area of the parsing pipeline.

tip

It is a very useful selector in terms of boosting performance.

For large documents, we recommend adding the page selector (or/and the boundary selector) as the first selector of the parsing pipeline, wherever it is possible and makes sense.

Parameters

Page number

You can specify either a number or a range, using the start:end syntax. Like for many other selectors, it is possible to use negative numbers to specify a page index starting from the end of a document.

Result overview

In most of the cases this selector won't be used standalone but combined with other selectors. In such cases pages will be the data source which is passed to the selector which is right after the page selector.

However, if for some reason this is the only selector in the pipeline the result will be converted into the list of text lines.

important

The format and example of the actual result produced by the pdf2Data Engine is described in Recognition result specification.
