How Does DU store anchor locations and distances to target values?

Hello. I’ve gone through most of the material available online, but I haven’t found an answer to this. When setting up the extractor template, for each target field, I specify the location of the field with a box and optionally the anchor. I’m sure it stores the OCR text of the target I choose. Does it also store the location of the box on the document? What about the location of the anchor box? Where is this information stored?

Thank you

Hello there,

The data extracted from the document digitization step will be stored in document object model and document text.

DOM (Or Document Object Model) contains the text boxes, coordinated you might be looking for. you can serialize your DOM results to see this.

Here are some resources.
