Make Searchable PDF from Image | C#
Program.cs:
C#
using System.Diagnostics; using Bytescout.PDFExtractor; // To make OCR work you should references "Bytescout.PDFExtractor.dll" and "Bytescout.PDFExtractor.OCRExtension.dll" from your project. namespace MakeSearchablePDF { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { /* By default, "SearchablePDFMaker" uses one of the standard PDF fonts to apply recognized text over the scanned document. Such fonts contain only basic characters from ISO-8859-1 charset. If you run OCR for one of the languages with characters that are not present in the default encoding, you should explicitly specify the font that contains the required characters using ".LabelingFont" property. If you run the application in Windows with a selected locale that matches OCR language, it will be enough to specify the usual font "Arial". But if your app will run in an unknown environment (for example, in some virtual machine) you will need to install some full Unicode font (e.g. "Arial Unicode MS") and then use it with SearchablePDFMaker: //searchablePDFMaker.LabelingFont = "Arial Unicode MS"; */ // Create Bytescout.PDFExtractor.TextExtractor instance SearchablePDFMaker searchablePDFMaker = new SearchablePDFMaker(); searchablePDFMaker.RegistrationName = "demo"; searchablePDFMaker.RegistrationKey = "demo"; // Load sample Image document searchablePDFMaker.LoadDocumentFromFile("sample_ocr.jpg"); // Set the location of OCR language data files searchablePDFMaker.OCRLanguageDataFolder = @"c:\Program Files\Bytescout PDF Extractor SDK\ocrdata_best\"; // Set OCR language searchablePDFMaker.OCRLanguage = "eng"; // "eng" for english, "deu" for German, "fra" for French, "spa" for Spanish etc - according to files in "ocrdata" folder // Set PDF document rendering resolution searchablePDFMaker.OCRResolution = 300; // Process document searchablePDFMaker.MakePDFSearchable("output.pdf"); // Cleanup searchablePDFMaker.Dispose(); // Open output file in default associated application ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("output.pdf"); processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = true; Process.Start(processStartInfo); } } }
