Fixed Distance
The fixed-distance method starts at the top of the search region (or whatever the controlling edge is) and moves ahead by a distance specified in the Distance field. This method may be particularly useful for certain documents that use fixed lines or cell heights.
The screenshot below illustrates an extract of a table that will be split into rows based on the parameters configured in the Method section in the Properties pane: The method has been set to Fixed Distance, and, using the measurements in the status bar, we have identified the distance between the start and end of each row, which is 24pt (set in the Distance field). For details about how to measure distances, see Example in the Post Process topic.
