PDFlib Text Extraction Toolkit (TET) Manual

The tetml option enables or disables coordinate- and font-related information in the
Glyph element. The following page option list enables font details in the Glyph element,
but suppresses coordinate details:
tetml={ glyphdetails={nogeometry font} }
The following page option list instructs TET to combine punctuation characters with
the adjacent words, i.e. punctuation characters are no longer treated as individual
words:
contentanalysis={nopunctuationbreaks}
The following page option makes sense only for page mode. It changes the default separator
character from linefeed to space:
contentanalysis={lineseparator=U+0020}
All page options which have been supplied when creating TETML will be recorded in the
/TET/Document/Pages/Page/Options elements (individually for each page) unless disabled
with the following document option:
tetml={ elements={nooptions} }
Exception handling. If an error happens during PDF parsing TET will generally try to
repair or ignore the problem if possible, or throw an exception otherwise. However,
when generating TETML output with TET PDF parsing problems will usually be reported
as an Exception element in the TETML:
Object ’objects[49]/Subtype’ does not exist
Applications should be prepared to deal with Exception elements instead of the expected
elements when processing TETML output.
Problems which prevent the generation of the TETML output file (e.g. no write permission
for the output file) will still trigger an exception, and no valid TETML output
will be created.
