Exporting existing position information from the document hierarchy

The techniques that are described in the previous section work for fingerprints that are generated after you decided to use FPXML. For existing fingerprints, the zone position information is still in the document hierarchy.

With the Fingerprint Maintenance Tool, you can export existing position information from the document hierarchy and into individual XML files. The Fingerprint Maintenance Tool is included as an APT-specific utility. However, it is possible to use the tool with other Datacap applications by following the instructions that are provided.
Important: If you move existing zone position information out of the document hierarchy and into FPXML files, you must update the actions that your application uses to read the zone information. The ReadZones action reads information from the document hierarchy, whereas the ReadZonesFPX action reads information from FPXML files.
