| OCROptions& pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::AddDPI | ( | int | dpi | ) |
Sets the value for DPI in the options object.
Knowing proper image resolution is important, as it enables the OCR engine to translate pixel heights of characters to their respective font sizes.
We do our best to retrieve resolution information from the input's metadata, however it occasionally can be corrupt or missing. Hence we allow manual override of source's resolution, which supersedes any metadata found (both explicit as in image metadata and implicit as in PDF).
If input is a PDF file, the SDK will render PDF page for OCR as a raster image with 300 DPI resolution. Otherwise, if input is an image, SDK will pass to OCR raster image in original resolution. Exceptionally, if the user, by using this method, suggests the resolution (say 300 DPI), the SDK will try do as suggested.
Here, some restrictions apply:
To achieve that, SDK will iteratively scale down the DPI till both conditions are met.
| dpi | The new value for DPI. |
| OCROptions& pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::AddIgnoreZonesForPage | ( | const RectCollection & | regions, |
| int | page_num | ||
| ) |
Adds the zones to the IgnoreZones array.
It is an optional list of areas that will be excluded from analysis.
The meaning and handling of the passed region coordinates will vary depending on:
If either of above is true, then the region coordinates have to be given in PDF Points and coodinate space origin at bottom-left.
Otherwise:
See also: ProcessPDF() ImageToPDF() SetUsePDFPageCoords() AddTextZonesForPage().
| regions | The new zones to be added to IgnoreZonesForPage. |
| page_num | The page number the added regions belong to. |
| OCROptions& pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::AddLang | ( | const UString & | lang | ) |
Adds the language to the Langs array.
OCR engine is prepared for recognition of a predefined set of language scripts. Various scripts have differences in glyphs and it is recommended that OCR engine is instructed to use a correct glyph set to match the appropriate Unicode. At this moment, there are two avaliable engines for use. Let we refer them by their executable names: OCRModule and OCRModuleIRIS.
Here is a list of supported languages by their codes that may be passed as a parameter. One language per call to AddLang(). Use multiple calls to AddLang() to add additional languages.
Warning: Be aware that adding too many language codes at once may lead to wrong altertnatives regarding Latin characters with accents.
| Language | Code | Language | Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | eng | Chinese Simpl. | chi_sim |
| French | fra | Chinese Trad. | chi_tra |
| German | deu | Japanese | jpn |
| Italian | ita | Korean | kor |
| Russian | rus | ||
| Spanish | spa |
Here are the languages supported out of the box per engine:
| Executable Name | Supported Codes |
|---|---|
| OCRModule | eng fra deu ita spa rus |
| OCRModuleIRIS | eng fra deu ita spa rus chi_sim chi_tra jpn kor |
Note: OCRModuleIRIS allows mix of a single Asian language and just English.
| lang | The new language to be added to Langs. |
| OCROptions& pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::AddTextZonesForPage | ( | const RectCollection & | regions, |
| int | page_num | ||
| ) |
Adds the zones to the TextZones array.
It is as an optional list of known text zones that will be used to improve OCR quality.
See also: AddIgnoreZonesForPage().
| regions | The new zones to be added to TextZonesForPage. |
| page_num | The page number the added regions belong to. |
| bool pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::GetAutoRotate | ( | ) |
Gets the value AutoRotate from the options object.
Default value is false. Setting to true will deskew the image before conducting OCR.
Note: This function doesn't apply to IRIS OCR module.
| int pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::GetDPI | ( | ) |
Gets the value DPI from the options object.
Knowing proper image resolution is important, as it enables the OCR engine to translate pixel heights of characters to their respective font sizes.

| bool pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::GetIgnoreExistingText | ( | ) |
Gets the value IgnoreExistingText from the options object.
Default value is false, so that areas with existing text will be automatically skipped during OCR. Setting to true will cause a pre-existing text to be duplicated with the OCR-ed ones in the PDF document or in GetOCRJsonFromPDF() and GetOCRXmlFromPDF() results.
| UString pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::GetOCREngine | ( | ) |
Gets the value OCREngine from the options object.
Options include 'default' or 'iris'. Chosen module must be present and correctly licensed.
| bool pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::GetUsePDFPageCoords | ( | ) |
Gets the value UsePDFPageCoords from the options object.
Defines the coordinate system, scaling and units. SDK and OCRModule will refer to this setting while dealing with potential input zone rectangle(s) (ignorable or text) and with the output result as well. The default value is false which corresponds to raster image input.
Here are the meanings for value:
| Value | Origin | +Y axis dir. | Unit | Size | Expected input |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| false | top-left | Downwards | Pixel | 1/DPI inches | Image |
| true | bottom-left | Upwards | Point | 1/72 inches |
Note that, OCRModule backend has no notion about the SDK's real input. So, if not explicitelly instructed via this call and value, it will work by default and will report the coordinates as for false. This is important to know for cases when the call for OCR service comes from GetOCRJsonFromPDF() or GetOCRXmlFromPDF() where the results should be correct in JSON or XML format - and removes the need for user to do additional adjustments.

| OCROptions& pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::SetAutoRotate | ( | bool | value | ) |
Sets the value for AutoRotate in the options object.
Default value is false. Setting to true will deskew the image before conducting OCR.
Note: This function doesn't apply to IRIS OCR module.
| value | The new value for AutoRotate. |
| OCROptions& pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::SetIgnoreExistingText | ( | bool | value | ) |
Sets the value for IgnoreExistingText in the options object.
Default value is false, so that areas with existing text will be automatically skipped during OCR. Setting to true will cause a pre-existing text to be duplicated with the OCR-ed ones in the PDF document or in GetOCRJsonFromPDF() and GetOCRXmlFromPDF() results.
| value | The new value for IgnoreExistingText. |
| OCROptions& pdftron::PDF::OCROptions::SetOCREngine | ( | const UString & | value | ) |
Sets the value for OCREngine in the options object.
Options include 'default' or 'iris'. Chosen module must be present and correctly licensed.
| value | The new value for OCREngine. |
