What does this have to do with the Acrobat SDK? What parts of the SDK are you using (or planning to use) here? From what OS platform and programming language.

Jeff - I still don't see what you are trying to accomplish here.

If you are writing JavaScript, that JS is either going to be inside of a PDF or inside of Acrobat (application-level). Which is it?

How would you like to fetch the PDF? I saw a reference to a web service - do you mean SOAP? If so, there is a very powerful SOAP object in Acrobat JavaScript. Samples and documentation in the SDK.

You mentioned OCR, but there are no APIs for JavaScript to invoke OCR operations on an image-only PDF. You can search for a text in a PDF that contains text, that's available in the JS APIs, however.

Thanks for guidance and reply...

URLs are inside of emails coming to my Outlook they are actually Faxes... So it has to be application inside of Acrobat... After Fetching the document can't OCR Text Recognition/Recognize Text using OCR be invoked on the document so upon existence of certain words to be directed and moved to a certain box? Is there a sample code that you can refer me to please?

Regards

Jeff P.

OCR can be invoked via a custom plugin (written in C/C++) and then you can search for the text. The SDK has all the documentation and sample code available.

Hello,

Well I tried to search in all the CSAMPLE library \Adobe SDK\sdk91_v2_win\Adobe\Acrobat 9 SDK\Version 1\InterAppCommunicationSupport\CSamples and I could not find any sample regarding invoking OCR... Can you be more direct please if possible?

Regards,

Jeff P.

There are no APIs to access OCR from the IAC APIs - you can only do so from the C/C++-based plugin APIs.
