Display a message if there's no text to OCR

Post by Loki@99 »

Hi,

It's a suggestion for PDXCE.

I tried to OCR a file and only noticed after some time that it was a comment object.

It will be great to display a message when there's no text to OCR.

Current behavior
Nothing happens after clicking OK which is confusing.

Additional info
Here's Foxit PDF message

Thanks for passing this to UI team,

Hello, Loki@99

Thank you for the suggestion, I have passed this along to the team for consideration, but I cannot make any promises of implementation at this time.

Hi,

In addition to this, the same logic should apply when there's no watermark to remove as well.

Foxit PDF and Adobe Acrobat display the following message

Hello Loki@99,

I've just added the screenshots relating to the watermarks message to the same ticket, and updated it to request messages for both cases!

Kind regards,
Stefan
