## Methods

<table width="100%"><thead><tr><th style={{textAlign: 'left'}}><p><strong>Definition</strong></p></th><th style={{textAlign: 'left'}}><p><strong>Description</strong></p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Add( value : Object, \[optional] position : int )</p></td><td><p>Places the value element in the text at certain position. If no position is specified, the element is placed at the end of the text.</p><p><strong>Note: </strong> The <strong>value</strong> parameter may be a character, a string, an <a href="/flexi-capture/appendix/scripts/icharacterparams">ICharacterParams</a> object, or an <a href="/flexi-capture/appendix/scripts/icharactersparams">ICharactersParams</a> object. Thus, you can copy character or text from other fields, preserving the markup and highlighting. If the regions of the characters you attempt to copy do not fit within the region of the new field, they will not be copied.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SetPdfDocumentInfo( type: <a href="/flexi-capture/t-pdf-document-info-type">TPdfDocumentInfoType</a>, value: string )</p></td><td><p>The metadata of the PDF file.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
