FAILED TO COPY TEXT AFTER CONVERTING FROM OCR

Post by pramodramanathan »

HI,

I HAVE A GIF FILE AND I CONVERTED THE SAME TO PDF FORMAT. THE CONVERTED PDF FILE WAS OPENED USING PDF-XCHANGE VIEWER. AFTER EDITING THE SAME FROM OCR, ONLY SELECTED TEXTS CAN BE COPIED BUT THE COPIED FILE IS NOT SUPPORTED IN NOTEPAD. KINDLY HELP. I AM ATTACHING HEREWITH THE PDF FILE.

Hi pramodramanathan,

Thanks for the post - it looks as though the OCR module isn't able to handle the script within the image and, therefore, is not able to place a text layer on the document.

I'll pass the file to the Dev. Team to see if there's anything that can be done to rectify this, but I suspect that it may just be a limitation of the current OCR.

Thanks,
