Install OCR langauage without permisions

[only_me]

Hi guys,
How can i install OCR languages , without admin permissions?
Since OCR languages are stored in C:\program Files\Common Files\Tracker Software, and my user do not have admin right's, he can't install them.

Already tried to copy the entire folder, from another computer, and no luck, pdf xchange editor, do not recognize them...

Hello, only_me

If a user does not have admin permissions, that copying the entire ...\Common Files\Tracker Software folder specifically would be the correct approach, do note that both the copy and paste actions on each device, should be done specifically when no instances of our software are running. This includes not only the Editor, but also PDF-Tools and any "folder monitors" you may have in place with it. Do ensure you end and exit those items from the system tray before beginning this process.
After copying the tracker software folder, into the common files directory, please restart your PC, and the languages should be available.

Another very important note here, the two OCR engines we offer have entirely separate sets of language files and subdirectories which are incompatible with one another. If you are using the "Enhanced" OCR engine which comes with a Plus license, and they are only using the "default" OCR Engine which comes with a regular "Editor" license (Or vice-versa), the languages you downloaded will not be visible to their engine.
Ensure you have selected the correct OCR engine, from the Editor or PDF-Tools "preferences > OCR" category, when you download the languages - and before copying the folder contents to the target device.

Kind regards,

I already tried the copy folder method, and rebooted the computer, but i will give it another try tomorrow.
Then i will post the results.

Thanks

Hello, only_me

Sounds great, please keep us posted!

it seems, to work, probably it was like Daniel said, OCR languages from the "OCR engine" (plus or free ).

Thanks for the support.

Hello,

We have the same issue that our end-users cannot install additional languages without admin permissions. However I can see that the folder with the languages is available on the PC, so I'm not sure what is meant by copying this folder as it is already there. My question is how can we define a default set of languages with the deployment of this package? Now I can see some 'random' language are selected, but we would like to change that to our 'company languages' by default for all users when deploying this software via Intune.

Hi ingriddeweerdt,

Information on deploying via InTune is available here:

https://help.pdf-xchange.com/sysadmin/d ... ntune.html

If you are using an MSI, then the APP_LANG switch can be used to specify the application language, as detailed here:

Kind regards,
