Two features that I think many would benefit from are the options to:
1- Parse content from a PDF file
Example of how the feature might work:
A- Go to: Convert --> Parse
B- Set a region on any PDF page (the same region will be selected on every page)
C- Set a name for that region. E.g. {Name}
D- Set a different region on any PDF page (the same region will be selected on every page) and give it a name. E.g. {Phone number}
E- Set the destination Excel/CSV file
This should detect the text boxes in the selected regions and output their content to an Excel/CSV file with the columns: {Page, Name, Phone number}
If there is more than one text box in a selected region, then each text box will have a column. E.g. {Page, Name, Phone number_1, Phone number_2}
Possible extra functionalities:
* OCR support
* RegEx support (the parsed content will be only the one that matched the RegEx in the selected regions. the rest will be omitted)
* Action Wizard support (to do the parsing on multiple PDF files)
* Support for skipping pages (odd, even, specified pages)
2- Extract PDF pages based on their content
Example of how the feature might work:
A- Go to: Organize --> Extract --> Extract by content
B- Set the strings to search for separated by comma ( , ) and pipe ( | ). E.g. {Apple|Orange, Mobile|PC}
C- Set the file name strings for the extracted pages separated by comma ( , ). E.g {Fruit, Electronics)
D- Set whether to extract the search matches separated by a comma ( , ) to separate files or the same file
E- Set the destination folder
This should extract the pages containing the word "Apple" or the word "Orange" to the destination folder in the file "Fruit.pdf" or the files "Fruit_1.pdf" & " "Fruit_2.pdf".... depending on the setting at step D. The same thing happens to pages containing the word "Mobile" or the word "PC" to be extracted to "Electronics.pdf" or the files "Electronics_1.pdf" & " "Electronics_2.pdf"....
Possible extra functionalities:
* Select the region/regions in the pages to do the search (only restricted to text in the regions)
* OCR support
* RegEx support (for the search strings)
* Action Wizard support (to do the extraction on multiple PDF files)
* Import CSV files for the search and file name strings
* Support for skipping pages (odd, even, specified pages)
* Support for deleting pages after extraction
