Document Understanding | Form Extractor not extracting empty fields

Help Robot

I have configured a form extractor to extract data from a scanned PDF form. The forms being processed are filled in by user. My form extractor uses templates. The extraction fields have anchors.

Now, I have a field where the amount can be empty (not provided by user). When extraction happens and the value for this field is blank, the extractor returns the value of the anchor, instead. I want it to return a blank value. Like in the image below, it returns the value “Maximum amount to be debited Kshs”

What could be the issue here?

After your Extraction the data will be stored in datatable,Check if your amount contains Number or any other data.If it contains “Maximum amount to be debited Kshs ” then replace it with “”

Thanks @rlgandu

However, I was asking “Why can’t the form extractor return a blank value”?

I need the blank value and the coordinates (bounding box) of the field so that I can update it. Is there some extra configuration I need to add to tell the extractor to return empty values?

Remove Summary of Debits Anchor and Keep only “Maximum amount to be debited Kshs ” adjust the position of anchor
