Question

Using the extract, not getting some text that is in the margin of the page.

Just for reference, on page 31 at the bottom is some text "Reference ID: 3610837"  It is not in the json output from the extraction API.  I have attached the original PDF as well as the json output of your tool.

    Same issue here, a lot of the good stuff is in the headers and footers. We're in 2023 now, any idea when getting them would be possible?

    I think Extract API is interpreting that area as a footer and ignoring it. Unfortunately, there is no setting to force it to not do that.

    Not that it's a showstopper for us, but if that is the confirmed reason that the text is not being extracted from the footer, is there a chance in a future sprint/improvement cycle of the tool that a config option can be added to broaden the text search to the entire page?

    Great minds... I've already submitted that as a feature request. It'll be important for documents that have been bates numbered too.

    I attached a Greenshot image capture of the text I'm referring to.
