A DataRaptor Transform is specifically designed to manipulate and restructure data from one format to another. In the context of generating a PDF from an OmniScript, a document template requires data in a specific JSON structure. While a DataRaptor Extract retrieves the raw data from Salesforce, a DataRaptor Transform is used to map and convert that raw data into the precise format expected by the PDF template. This transformation process is what effectively "pre-populates" the template with the correct data before the document is rendered.

A. A SOQL Query: This is a query language used by a DataRaptor Extract to fetch data from Salesforce. It is not the OmniStudio tool that structures the data for the PDF.

B. A DataRaptor Load: This tool is used to write data back into Salesforce objects. Its function is to save or update records, not to retrieve or format data for a document.

C. A DataRaptor Extract: This tool retrieves data from Salesforce objects. While it provides the source data, it does not perform the necessary restructuring to match the PDF template's required format.
