Recognizing data with text matching

To recognize data by using text matching, add rules to the Recognize ruleset. These rules locate the data on the rental agreement pages that you identified by using text matching.

About this task

Avoid running the rules on pages that were identified by using fingerprint matching. You can use the variable that you set up earlier to determine which pages use fingerprint matching.
