Validate extracted values in Adobe Acrobat Analyzer

Review extracted values in a document and confirm whether they are correct.

When you open a document in Adobe Acrobat Analyzer, extracted attributes appear automatically in the details panel. Validating these values helps identify incorrect, incomplete, or missing results and improves extraction accuracy across similar documents over time.

Before you begin

  • You must have permission to view documents and attributes.
  • The attribute must already be configured.
  • The collection must contain documents where the attribute is expected to return values.

View extracted attributes

  1. Open a collection to review extracted values.

    The All files collection lists every file in the organization.

  2. Select the Adjust attribute view icon to display the list of attributes.

  3. Check the box next to the attribute to be evaluated.

    Tip

    Drag the attribute’s reorder handle to the top of the list to move it to the first column in the table.

  4. Select Apply.

    The page refreshes to display the collection with a table of the selected attributes.

    • Extracted values are displayed in their respective columns.
    • Empty (not found) values are displayed as "-- --".

Validate attribute accuracy

  1. Select a document to review.

    The Document Attributes panel opens to the right of the collection list.

    • Each attribute displays an extracted value or "Not Found".
    • Each extracted value includes one or more numbered citations representing where the attribute description matched document content.
  2. Select a citation to review the extracted text and surrounding context.

    • Select the thumbs-up icon to confirm the value is correct.
    • Select the thumbs-down icon if the value is incorrect, incomplete, or missing.
    The citation page with the Thumbs up and down icons highlighted.

    When marking a value as incorrect:

    • Select the attribute from the dropdown list.
    • Select one or more checkboxes to indicate the issue.
    • Optionally, enter a brief note describing what you expected.

  4. Submit the feedback.

Repeat the process for additional extracted values as needed.

Your validation feedback helps Acrobat Analyzer refine attribute behavior and improve extraction accuracy.
