FormatOptions

Controls how the output value is constructed and aligned when using an Output Format.

Remarks

The FormatOptions enumeration provides advanced control over the formatting and alignment of extracted values when using an Output Format in Grooper. These options affect how literal characters and group placeholders in the format string are processed, aligned, and mapped to the document's OCR data.

How It Works

• Options can be combined to achieve precise output formatting and alignment.
• Use these settings to ensure that the output value matches the document's layout, restricts extraction zones, or aligns literal characters for improved accuracy.

Practical Guidance

• Choose 'Restrict' to limit extraction to the bounds of the formatted output value, useful for table cells or tightly-bounded regions.
• Choose 'Align' to ensure literal characters in the output format (such as punctuation or spaces) are mapped to their actual positions in the OCR text, improving extraction fidelity.
• Use 'None' for standard output formatting without additional alignment or zone restriction.
