Combine

No grouping is performed. All extraction results are merged into a single group and combined into one output instance.

• Use this option when you want to aggregate all results without regard to their position.
• Set the 'GroupBy' property to None to use this behavior.

Groups results that are horizontally aligned (i.e., appear on the same row) and combines each group into a separate output instance.

• Useful for extracting and grouping data that appears in rows, such as table rows or address blocks.
• Set the 'GroupBy' property to Row to use this behavior.

Groups results that are vertically aligned (i.e., appear in the same column) and combines each group into a separate output instance.

• Useful for extracting and grouping data that appears in columns, such as table columns or vertical lists.
• Set the 'GroupBy' property to Column to use this behavior.

Combines the results from all child extractors by joining their values together.

• The separator string is defined by the 'ResultSeparator' property.
• Each result is included in the output, separated by the specified value.
• This is the default method for merging results when no special collation is required.

Extracts a substring from the source document that starts at the beginning of the first result and ends at the end of the last result.

• Useful for capturing all content between two points, regardless of the number of extractors.
• Ignores the 'ResultSeparator' property.

Combines results by extracting all text within the geometric region (bounding box) that encompasses all individual results.

• Useful for spatially-related data, such as table cells or blocks.
• Ignores the 'ResultSeparator' property.

Sums the numeric values of all extracted results.

• Non-numeric values are treated as zero.
• The output is a single numeric value represented as a string.
• Ignores the 'ResultSeparator' property.

Uses the value from a specific child extractor or group as the output.

• The 'OutputElement' property specifies which child or group to use.
• Optionally, the 'ContextElement' property can provide additional context for the output.
• Only the specified element's value is returned as the result.
