Babylon and PDF XChange

[TrackMe]

Hi,

Babylon has a plugin for Adobe Reader to support text recognition, does something similar exist for PDF XChange ?

Or what can be done to use Babylon with PDF XChange ?

Thanks.

Babylon uses Adobe plugin model which isn't supported by PDF-XChange viewer (at least for now), so, I'm afraid there are no way to use it.

Sorry, forgot to ask - you are intersted in Babylon OCR or Babylon translator ?

I am used to use Babylon Translator.

Is there a chance to get it working ?

HI,

I tried it, and it worked here, but not so good. Babylon tries to OCR the rendered text and is not successful too often. I don't know why it uses the OCR method while there is a much better method which is used by many other translators (Translate It, ABBYY Lingvo 12, Lingoes, etc.) and all of these translators are supported by the PDF-XChange viewer.

Hi,

I especially refer to "(at least for now)". Has there been a new development as to Babylon at the horizon?

The mentioned plugin for the Adobe Reader works excellent. Why can't you find a similar solution for XChange viewer? By the way, your competitor Foxit does allow Babylon application, too. Sometimes delayed a little, - and no special plugin is necessary. The trick is, to apply the cursor a few pixel below the word you want to get translated. Maybe this hint might help to find a solution for PDF XChange - for many reasons my favourite.
