Pattern File Generation

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

Use the exgui.exe application to generate the appropriate pattern file. The text conversion is performed using Windows fonts. The required fonts must be processed into the pattern file before any conversion is performed. The required fonts, font sizes, and font styles must first be configured in the textract.ini file. Open textract.ini and adjust the following settings:
Include1
List of fonts that are to be converted.
Exclude
List of fonts that are not to be converted.
Italic
1 - Convert italic characters; 0 - Exclude italic characters.
Bold
1 - Convert bold characters; 0 - Exclude bold characters.
Underlined
1 - Convert underlined characters; 0 - Exclude underlined characters.
Sizes
Range of font sizes, <min>-<max>, that are to be converted.

Then open the exgui.exe application and click Build font pattern database. Click OK and wait for the pattern file to be generated. The file name and path will be saved based on the Database Path setting in the textract.ini file.
