Include these types of text

Choose the types of text to extract for translation. For example, if you select Hyperlink locations , the filter extracts the text of the hyperlink locations.

Include document properties

Document properties include the document's author, its creation date, and so on. You can extract these properties for translation or ignore them.

'All properties' includes custom properties, sometimes called fields or variables.

Process special formatting
Special formatting is formatting that cannot be shown in the editor. Some examples are:
  • Rotation
  • Scaling
  • Pair kerning
  • Spacing
If you choose to process special formatting, such formatting is represented as tags in the target document. If you do not process special formatting, it is lost in extraction.
Extract embedded drawings

If selected, then text in drawings is extracted.

Cell reading direction

Specify the order in which cells are extracted, for example top left to bottom right by row.
