3.6 View text runs
To view text runs, select ‘Show Run Start’ from the ARTS Split Pro menu, or click on the
close button (
) located on the ARTS Split Pro toolbar.
ARTS Split Pro Assistant allows the user to see where the start of each text run starts on
the page. A small red cross represents the start of each text run. This can be seen in the
diagram below (displaying text runs in ARTS Split Pro Assistant).
Figure 1.12 - displaying text runs in split pro assistant
Within a PDF file, text is drawn by moving to a specific location on the page and drawing
a line of text, which is formally known as a run of text. What appears to be one line of
text can actually be made of a number of runs of text put together.
In ARTS Split Pro, if a line of text begins inside a rectangle that you have created on
your screen then the entire run of text is considered inside that rectangle. The rectangle
that has been drawn in figure 1.12 contains two runs of text inside it, and as mentioned
earlier the red crosses denote these runs of text.

Note: if a line of text begins inside a rectangle, the entire run of text is considered
"inside" that rectangle. The end of the rectangle in the figure 1.12 does not denote where
ARTS Split Pro will stop reading the text, rather the end of the text runs that begin within
the rectangle will.
