FileExportParams Object (IFileExportParams Interface)

This object provides functionality for tuning the parameters of export to file.

You can set general export properties:

  • the path to the folder for output files (the RootPath property),
  • the file naming rule (the FileNamePattern property).

For selected export file format (the FileFormat property) you can tune parameters of saving files in this format, use the TextParams, ImageExportParams, DBFParams, ExcelParams, and XMLParams properties.

Properties

Name Type Description
ColumnSeparator String Specifies the symbol which should be used for splitting recognized text into columns when exporting tables. By default the comma "," is used.
CreateSeparateFilesForRepeatableItems Boolean If this property is set to TRUE, repeating fields (i.e. fields with multiple instances and tables) are exported into separate files for which a new folder is created. The name of the folder consists of the name of the export file. To disable export of repeating fields into separate files, set this property to FALSE. In this case, ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK will export all repeating fields to one export file and will add a new line for each element instance. The value of this property is TRUE by default.
DBFParams DBFExportParams, read-only Specifies parameters of export to DBF format. The property is used only if the value of the FileFormat property is FEF_DBF.
ExcelParams ExcelExportParams, read-only Specifies parameters of export to XLS or XLSX format. The property is used only if the value of the FileFormat property is FEF_XLS or FEF_XLSX.
ExportData Boolean

Specifies if extracted data should be exported.

The default value of this property is TRUE.
ExportFieldNames Boolean

Specifies if field names should be exported. The property is valid only if the value of the FileFormat property is FEF_Text or FEF_CSV.

The default value of the property is TRUE.
ExportOriginalImages Boolean Specifies if original images should be exported. To set the parameters of image export use the ImageExportParams property. The default value of this property is FALSE.
FileFormat FileExportFormatEnum Specifies the output file format. By default the value of this property is FEF_XLSX.
FileNamePattern String

Specifies the output file name. It may contain several components separated by a backslash or a slash. For example,  "<Batch>/<DocumentDefinition>/<Identifier>".  It allows you to create a hierarchy of directories.

You can include the following items into the resulting file directory:

  • <Project> — the project name (IProject::Title)
  • <Batch> — the batch name (IBatch::Name)
  • <DocumentDefinition> — the Document Definition name (IDocumentDefinition::Name)
  • <SourceFile> — the name of the source file (IPage::OriginalImagePath)
  • <Identifier> — the identifier of the document (IDocument::Id)
  • <BatchType> — the type of the batch (IBatchType::Name) Batch types are defined in ABBYY FlexiCapture for the most commonly used sets of processing settings.
  • <Time> — the time of export
  • <Index:FieldName> — the value of the index field (fields whose values are used for sorting and search purposes, such fields have "Index field" property in the ABBYY FlexiCapture project). Replace FieldName with the name of the suitable field.
  • <RegParam:ParameterName> — the value of the registration parameter (registration parameters are textual properties allowing to identify a specific batch or document, they are set in ABBYY FlexiCapture). Replace ParameterName with the name of the suitable registration parameter.

The elements in angle brackets will be changed to corresponding values. The elements without angle brackets will be passed as is. By default, the following pattern is used: "<Batch>".
FileOverwriteRule FileOverwriteRuleEnum Specifies the rule to be used for overwriting files. By default the value of this property is FOR_Append.
ImageExportParams ImageExportParams, read-only Specifies parameters of image export to PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and other image formats. The property is used only if the value of the ExportOriginalImages property is TRUE.
JSONParams JSONExportParams, read-only Specifies parameters of export to JSON format. The property is used only if the value of the FileFormat property is FEF_JSON.
RootPath String

Specifies the root folder for output files. The property may contain the full path to the folder or the relative path from the FlexiCapture project folder.

By default the value of this property is "Export".
RowSeparator String Specifies the symbol which should be used for splitting recognized text into rows when exporting tables. By default the value of this property is "\r\n".
TextParams TextExportParams, read-only Specifies parameters of text export. The property is used only if the value of the FileFormat property is FEF_Text or FEF_CSV.
XMLParams XMLExportParams, read-only Specifies parameters of export to XML format. The property is used only if the value of the FileFormat property is FEF_XML.
