Quick Fields is primarily used for working with imaged documents and their text. However, within the Pre-Classification Processing stage, Quick Fields offers some processes that can be configured for electronic documents. For example, you can configure a Retrieve PDF Form Contents process to retrieve PDF form values from a PDF form. Using a sample electronic document to test these electronic document processes helps ensure the accuracy of your configuration for these types of documents.
Other types of electronic documents can also be processed in Quick Fields even if they cannot be viewed in the Display Pane. For example, you can use Text Extraction to extract text from a Word document. The results of a Text Extraction process will be displayed in the Text Pane, and the extracted text can later be used in the Page Processing stage of a document class.
