Repurpose
Documents
Re-purposing documents is mainly used from improving
the clarity and appearance of documents. Sometimes
repurposing is used to make up entirely new documents.
Whatever your need APWI’s re-purposing capability
can do the job. Re-purposing is only available for
text documents.
HostServe will check keys on a page and then
determine what recipe it will use to repurpose
the document. This gives the page a Document Type.
HostServe can take in any text document and
repurpose it based on its document type . This
is done by defining the areas of the page and
defining the changes. These page areas are called
“Viewports”. The Viewport specifications and the
required changes are contained in a document Recipe.
Viewports allow HostServe to selectively look
at specific areas of the page for data that is
needed later in the document process.
HostServe will go through each of the Viewport
areas sequentially and extract the data into separate
tags for recipe processing.
Viewports are commonly triggered by the contents
of the page, as the Viewports defined for Page
1 would not meet the criteria necessary to process
Page 2.
Viewports can float up and down the page. An
example of this would be a bill with a total that
may appear at various places on the page depending
on the number of items billed.
• Customer can have as many Viewports on a page
as desired.
• Recipes can control data triggering of:
o Text, reformatting, additions, deletions
o Line Draw Graphics
o Barcodes, OMR Marks
o Charts, Business Graphics
o Images, Sales Person, Contract, etc.
