Hello, I am preparing custom dataset for information extraction using LayoutLM model. I am using this notebook: [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/NielsRogge/Transformers-Tutorials/blob/master/LayoutLM/Fine_tuning_LayoutLMForTokenClassification_on_FUNSD.ipynb#scrollTo=vm3sGnBsL64o)  
I am not getting how to prepare train\_box.txt, prepare train\_box.txt.tmp files. When I export annotated data from UBIAI tool, I get only box.txt, lables.txt, image.txt files.  
Please help.  
Thanks in advance.
