Marking a table for export

To export tables well, you need to tell FlexiPDF the areas of a page which display a table. Otherwise, FlexiPDF will consider these areas as normal text. Thus, the division into rows and columns would be lost when exporting.

To mark a table, proceed as follows:

1.Move the image section to ensure that the table to be marked is visible.
2.Select the Hyperlink tool icon_tool_hyperlink on the ribbon tab Insert | group Links.
3.Use the mouse to drag a rectangle around the table. Do not select areas that do not belong to the table.
The dialog box Link Properties will appear.
4.Here, change the Type to FlexiPDF Table Box.
5.Enter a title for Label. Depending on the output format you choose, this will be written to the output file.
6.Next, you can specify whether to apply this marking over a range of pages. This is useful if your document contains similar tables in the same place across multiple pages.
7.FlexiPDF analyzes the table area, including all border lines used to delineate rows and columns. For some tables, you obtain better results if FlexiPDF ignores these lines and only pays attention to the content. In such cases, set a check mark in front of Ignore borders when calculating table.
8.Confirm with OK.

FlexiPDF now displays a table box with your assigned title (if there is enough space).

When you export the document, this table marking improves the exporting of the table.

The blue table boxes are only visible in FlexiPDF if the Hyperlink tool icon_tool_hyperlink is enabled.
