These functions include, among others, automatic coding with the parameters “Sentence” or “Paragraph”, as well as the “Near” function for segments in the Complex Coding Query and Code Matrix Browser.
#WHAT IS MAXQDA PDF PDF#
MAXQDA functions that rely on the paragraph structure can therefore not be used in PDF documents. PDF documents, unlike text documents, have no paragraph structure per se.
This process makes it possible to mark and code the text, otherwise it would be possible only to mark images. If a text is in the format of a scanned PDF file, Optical Character Recognition or OCR, a text recognition process, must carried out beforehand.
The “Near” function for image segments always returns a result of 0, both in the Complex Coding Query and the Code Relations Browser. Overlap between text segments and image segments will be ignored. MAXQDA does not distinguish between text and image encodings in regard to code frequency however in the Coding Query when searching for overlap, the query will search independently for overlap/intersection in text and image documents. Select and create a frame around the desired segments to subsequently code them. Text and image segments in PDF documents can be coded with the mouse. For optimal performance it is recommended that externally saved files be located on the local hard disk and if possible not on a network, although the acceleration of network speeds mean that this poses less and less of a problem. with a total size of more than 1 GB), it makes sense to store them externally so that the MAXQDA file remains small and can be easily secured. Tip: If you are working with many large PDF files (e.g.
