no OCR parameter in "File Type Settings"

Feb 14, 2011 2:27 AM

The following knowledge base article suggests that there used to be an "Use OCR" parameter in the"File Type Settings" of LiveCycle PDF Generator:

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402622.html

 

Where is this feature now located?

I want to do OCR on full page sized TIFF images or PDFs with page filling TIFF images embedded.

The output format should be PDF.

 

I am running a TRIAL of "LiveCycle Enterprise Suite 2" Service Pack 2 Version 9.0.0.2.20100902.2.246889 including

ADOBE® LIVECYCLE® PDF Generator ES2

ADOBE® LIVECYCLE® Barcoded Forms ES2
ADOBE® LIVECYCLE® Reader Extensions ES2
ADOBE® LIVECYCLE® Rights Management ES2
ADOBE® LIVECYCLE® Process Management ES2

    Hello Hodmi

     

    Just to make sure: These are the bread crumps to the config page you meant:

    Home > Services >LiveCycle PDF Generator ES2 > File Type Settings > New File Type Setting

     

    Please have a look to the screenshots of "File Type Settings" dialog at

    http://adobe-test01:8080/pdfg-adminui/editFiletypeAct.do

     

    I can't find anything like OCR.

     

    many thanks in advance

    irgei

    I'm not sure why you are not seeing it.  It should be on the image to PDF  screen.  Its a switch that says Use OCR.

    Even I am not able to see the options where I can specify if I want to use OCR. I have Adobe Livecycle ES2 SP2 installed on RHEL 5 (64 bit).

     

    We also tried to export the configuration file and edit it manually to set useOCR from "false" to "true" and upload it back. But still it did not work.

     

    I could not search any text in the PDF.

     

    Can you please help.

    Hello Priyank

     

    You are running Adobe LiveCycle on RedHat Linux, that's the reason!

    It took me about three weeks to accept that there is a mayor limit in

    features if you install a LiveCycle Server on Linux. And as far as I

    know OCR is one of the things missing under Linux.

    I guess most Adobe supporters have never seen any LiveCycle installation

    on Linux. Non of about 10 of them I have had contact with believed me or

    understood, why there are less options on my server than on theirs.

     

    The LiveCycle server trial ESX-image promises to be very handy, but it

    is not written on the adobe site that it is of limited use.

    Install on Windows and you will succeed with OCR...

     

    hope this helps

    Hi Irgei,

    take ABBYY OCR SDK in combination with iText pdf SDK. The Abbyy OCR  delivers by dfar better quality - especially dewarping-

    and it is fully automatable.

    Best regards

    Axel

    Besten Dank für den Hinweis.

    Das ist genau die Lösung, die wir infolge dessen auch gewählt haben.
