Installing Ocr Arabic on PDF Xchange 3.0

[nomade]

Hi,

After downloading Arabic ocr pack language from this link https://www.pdf-xchange.com/pdf-xchange-viewer-ocr, i am wondering if it's possible to install it on PDF Xchange 3.0.

Regards.

Hi nomade,

Thanks for the post - absolutely, the two are entirely compatible. The installer should automatically install for both programs.

HTH!

hi Will, thank's for reply

Sorry, but actually i've made a big mistake in my first post,

The link i wanted to talk about is rather this one https://www.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxocr ... nguage_ext, that's because i found in this page what is called PDF-X OCR SDK Module Language Extensions , and i downloaded from there 2 files, the one for arabic OCR, i mean OCR_SDK_arabic.zip and another one required for running the first one named OCR_SDK_BASE_REQUIREMENT.zip

So, the main question is about compatibility and the way to install these two OCR sdk module on PDF XCHANGE VE 3.0 in order to get arabic as an additional language in OCR process.

Finaly, am I on the wrong way to get arabic as an OCR additional language for XCHANGE VE 3.0 ?

Regards.

Hello nomade,

The OCR SDK packages are for developers wishing to build new software products utilizing our OCR product inside those thord party products. If you need a specific language to be available in the OCR tools in our own Editor - then these are the packages you need:

Arabic uses a special OCR engine mode, and a bunch of additional support language files. This functionality has not been implemented in the viewer. Sorry.

hi,

Stefan: nothing helps into the link you gave me, because PDF Xchange 3.0 don't have a folder named "ocrdats" in path program installation

Walter: It's a pity that the last release of PDF Xchange (both Viewer and Editor) 3.0 don't offers possibility to use arabic OCR

Hi nomade,

Yes yesterday Walter told me that this manual addition won't work for Arabic - and I see he posted after that.
Walter also told me that we are considering adding arabic OCR support for the Editor in the future.

any news on the arabic ocr funtion? the problem ist, that in the above mentioned file to dl (which was 2009) there is no arabic .lng file but there is a arabic _pxvocr.dat file, so i don't really understand. is this still for developers only or not?
i can't believe it's so hard to do? and i can't believe there aren't many many people who would benefit from this?
btw. pdf echangeviewer does have an ocrdats folder it accesses in the trackersoftware folder.. so now i am very confused.
all the best

Hi equ8,

I'm afraid that we've still not heard anything on this yet, but I'll ask the Dev. Team is there's any update here and will post back when I know more.

Cheers,

Hi equ8,

The Development team have promised to investigate implementation of this for end users. They've said that if the libraries we're using support Arabic, then we should be able to implement this.

For now, I cannot say for certain if/when implementation of this will occur, but it should now be on our to-do list.

Cheers,
