When extracting from image file formats, Sensible ignores OCR or OCR preprocessor settings you configure in the document type or SenseML configuration. For more information about OCR, see OCR level.
For DOC and DOCX documents, Sensible converts the document to PDF before processing it.
For XLSX documents, Sensible converts the document to PDF. To style the document, Sensible:
- Discards truncated text in cells. To retain the text, reformat or resize the cells in Excel so the text is visible.
- Converts sheets to pages by scaling text so that all sheets have the same width and by breaking long sheets into consecutive pages.
- Adds the sheet name as a header on each page.
For TIFF documents, SenseML methods that attempt to render pages return an error, including:
- pixel-based methods, such as Box, Checkbox, Signature, and image coordinates returned by the Document Range method
- Key/Value method
- Fixed Table method with the Stop parameter specified. Use the Text Table method as an alternative.
