4.1 Structure of commands

The structure for a complete rectangle command as it appears within the co-ordinate file
is shown below:

Command [space] left co-ordinate [space] top co-ordinate [space] bottom co-ordinate
[space] right co-ordinate [space] “string“

Example:

splitiftextcontainedinbox 70.093918 736.859451 141.122421 703.214371 "arts"

Where:
Command = splitiftextcontainedinbox
Left co-ordinate = 70.093918
Top co-ordinate = 736.859451
Bottom co-ordinate = 141.122421
Right co-ordinate = 703.214371
String parameter = arts

Co-ordinates (left, top, bottom and top) are used to view the rectangle using ARTS Split
Pro Assistant. It is the rectangle that is used to look at text in a PDF page used for the
splitting of PDFs. Text within a rectangle area can be compared against the specified
string parameter passed.

Example:

splitiftextcontainedinbox 70.093918 736.859451 141.122421 703.214371 "arts"

The rectangle co-ordinates, 70.093918 736.859451 141.122421 703.214371, form a
rectangle. The rectangle area is viewable on a PDF page using ARTS Split Pro
Assistant.  A rectangle can be viewed on each page of the PDF document. Depending
on where the text run begins on the page, this rectangle may have text inside it. Using
the splitIfTextContainedInBox command, if ARTS Split Pro finds that the “arts” string is
found inside the rectangle area then the PDF will split at that page (i.e. PDF will split if
the word “arts” is found within the text inside the rectangle).
