ABBYY FlexiCapture can create Document Definitions for documents that contain tables. A Table field is a set of same-type columns and recurring rows, and it simplifies configuration, data extraction, and data export from tables. A table column can be one of the following types:
  • Text
  • Checkmark
  • Barcode
  • Picture

Create a Table field

1

Frame the table region

Select the table tool and frame the table region with a rectangle. Do not include the table header in the selected region. An additional Delete Separator tool appears on the toolbar.
2

Mark off the table cells

Draw the separators that divide the table into cells:
  • To create a vertical separator, place the cursor in the table area, hold Shift, and click.
  • To create a horizontal separator, do the same while holding Alt.
You can also detect separators automatically: select the table, and then select Autodetect Vertical Separators and Autodetect Horizontal Separators from the local menu.
3

Create the columns

Click in a column region and select a column type from the dropdown list.
