Retrieve Document Text

This activity retrieves existing text from a Laserfiche or electronic document and stores it in a token. See the token this activity produces.

Tip: Using this activity in conjunction with the Pattern Matching activity can help you quickly extract useful information from pages of text.

Note: If the entry is an imaged document, the pages must be already OCRed to retrieve text. If the entry is an electronic document, the text must be already extracted to retrieve text. More information.
