Specifies the name of the extraction variable.
Provides a description of the extraction variable.
Specifies the type of extraction variable, Burst or Extract. The Burst variable is used to set the burst conditions on the Burst Conditions tab. The Extract variable is used to extract text from the document. It becomes an extraction variable available on the Set Document Properties tab. You can set a document property from the value extracted in the extraction variable.
Once a variable of a particular type has been created, it cannot be changed to the other type.
Specifies if you want to remove spaces found at the start and end of the extracted text. To remove the spaces, select Trim spaces.
Determining location is different for bursting using line mode and bursting using page mode. See the descriptions in the appropriate sections.
Line/Record - Specifies the line/record number from which the text will be extracted. If you are detecting using records, it will be the record number of the current page (i.e., variables on page 2 and greater are relative to line 1 on that page). If you selected Banner mode, the recognition line becomes line 1 and the extraction variables are relative to it.
Column - Specifies the start column for the extraction.
Extract - Specifies the number of characters to extract.
Specifies the region (rectangle) from which text will be extracted.
Tip:

Selection Mode in the menu bar. Then, drag the cursor to select
the desired region. The coordinates will appear in the status bar.
Upper left corner X coordinate - Specifies the upper left corner X coordinate.
Upper left corner Y coordinate - Specifies the upper left corner Y coordinate.

Height - Specifies the height of the region in millimeters (mm).
These options are only available for Extract type variables.
