Override an extracted attribute value in Adobe Acrobat Analyzer

Override an extracted attribute value for a file to correct the value used for review and filtering.

Use a manual override when extraction returns an incorrect value for a particular file, and you need the corrected value to drive review work without waiting for another extraction pass.

Before you begin

• You have access to the collection that contains the file.
• The file shows extracted attribute values.
• Overrides are user-specific. Other users continue to see the extracted value or their own overrides.

Override an extracted attribute value

What happens after you override a value

• Overriding replaces the extracted value with your manually entered value. This overridden value remains unchanged even if the attribute is updated or refreshed until you choose to re-extract the attribute for this specific file.
  • Overrides are user-specific. Only you see the overridden value.
  • Other users continue to see the extracted value, or their own overridden values.
• The value shows an indicator that it has been manually overridden.
• The override remains in effect even if the attribute is updated or refreshed. The value changes only when you re-extract the value for that file.
• You can filter for overrides using Filter data and Override Values
• If you export extracted data using Export extracted data, overridden values do not include attribution or explanation details.

When to override a value

• Extraction produced an incorrect value for a particular file.
• You need the corrected value to filter a collection accurately.
• You need corrected values to compare files using attribute values.
