Greetings,

There are a series of radio buttons on the parsing config screen that
related to page length and it sounds like you need to set one of these.

 

Now I don't know what is the best option for your file, but here's the
rundown to help you choose:

 

Each page ends with a Form Feed - this indicates there's a "pagebreak"
of sorts in the data - may be worth trying first

If that doesn't work

Beginning of page/End of page like buttons/dialog is used if there is a
consistent something at the bottom / top of the page  - e.g. End of Page
or Page:

Number of lines per page is the last resort - here you can specify there
are n lines per page.

Regards,

Thom

Subject: [talkbws] Parsing PDF file with DataStation

 

Greetings, New BWS user here...

 

I have a fairly simple PDF report file I'm trying to parse out using
DataStation. The one page report has 7 fixed columns with titles and one
detail record per line. 

 

DataStation is set up to use PDF/page format. I can view the report and
select fields in the first detail line. The problem is that DataStation
only returns the first record on the page and then goes to EOF. I can't
figure out how to specify in the page dialog that there can be multiple
records on a page. 

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks!
