• Supports extraction of data from named groups in the regular expression for downstream indexing.
• Can be combined with to assign content types based on extracted data.

This method is selectable in the command's Method property.

Properties

Name	Type		Description
Start Tag	String	►	A regular expression pattern that matches the text content indicating the start of a new document. EditorRegex Property Editor Requiredtrue The pattern is applied to the text of each page. If a match is found, a new child document begins at that page. Named groups in the pattern can be used to extract data for indexing. Example: Use ^Invoice Number: (?<InvoiceNo>\d+) to split at pages starting with "Invoice Number:" and capture the invoice number.
Suppress New Line	Boolean	►	When true, replaces all newline characters in the page text with spaces before applying the regular expression. DefaultFalse Enable this property if the tag pattern may be split across lines in the PDF text. Helps ensure consistent matching when line breaks are present. Example: Set SuppressNewLine to true if the tag "Document Start" may appear as "Document\nStart" in the text.
