How to Enable Enhanced OCR

Post by lamensterms »

Hello!

I have a license for PDF-Xchange Plus, but can't find how to enable Enhanced OCR. Can anyone please point me in the right direction :)

Hello, lamensterms

Thank you for the post. (I have had to remove the image due to our forum policy. Please do not share license details anywhere public, including our forums, as it may lead to a key being revoked to prevent theft.

You are looking in the correct location to make this change, however, your license age and type are what cause the issue here.

What you hold is a V8 license key with the added EOCR Plugin, that was sold while we had an agreement with "LeadTools". At the End of V8, we found that was not working out, and so with V9 we moved over to ABBYY's EOCR engine. At that time if you were subscribed to our newsletters, you would have received an email informing that you had the opportunity to upgrade your key to a V9 one that is forward compatible with the ABBYY OCR (The offer was also presented on our website, and as a popup if you logged into your account page in this timeframe). Sadly, due to our license agreement with ABBYY, we can no longer extend that offer, if it was not taken advantage of at that time.

As such, you have two options here, If you have a copy of your old V8 installer, you can roll back to that version (We do not keep such old installers on hand to provide).
~ Or if you do not have the installer, you can log into your account page, and purchase an upgrade to the V10 Editor Plus, which includes the ABBYY EOCR engine immediately.

Hey Dan thanks very much for the reply

My apologies about posting the licence details - bit of a brain fade there!

Thanks a lot for the info - I will look into the upgrade!
