Ok, I've just sent samples to support....

OK, I've tried this and I'm only getting some of the expected TextBlocks (3 out of 20). What is wrong? IPXC_ContentCreator contentCreator = pDoc.CreateContentCreator(); contentCreator.SetTextRenderMode(PXC_TextRenderingMode.TRM_Fill); IColor txtColor = auxInst.CreateColor(ColorType.ColorType_RGB); t...

So how would I handle 568 text boxes?

Would I make 568 contentCreator.ShowTextBlock() calls, and then a single PlaceContent() ?

Hi - I'm trying to take an existing PDF that has a lot of Text Comments, and make them searchable. I'm reading each text comment, then creating a TextBlock to represent it, including position, etc. My code is working fine, however, it is painfully slow. It takes 2+ minutes to process a single page w...

OK, thanks...

Hi Alex -
Can you tell me which version of the SDK ?

Hi Alex - Well, that's unfortunate...I thought you'd have a reference document of some kind (like for PDF/XFA) that details the Objects and Operations. As for the reference to EditorSDK - We don't use it - never have. I think you'll notice all my posts are in CoreAPI forum (except for a few in OCR)....

whoit

Hi Alex - The RequestObject/RequestOper flags are an issue for us - we are finding client files that have a variety of security enabled, and we need to be able to determine which Operations prevent us from working with the document. Without documentation, how are we to determine which of the 34 Oper...

Hi Alex - We are trying to determine which Permissions are affecting our ability to work with any given PDF. Can you tell which PDF document/specification you are using when implementing: RequestObject RequestOper I'm trying to find a reference to which Objects are controlled by which Operations For...

Hi Alex -

Yes, that seems like a better approach - we will try it and let you know how it works for us.

Thanks!

Hi Stefan -

That's interesting info though I'm not concerned about manipulating the file.

I'm mainly concerned that the API and the code I posted does not recognize the file as protected via Certifcate.

whoit

OK, if you cannot find it shortly, let me know and I can resend it to whatever email address you like.

whoit

It was sent to the support email address with this subject: File to accompany Forum post
and a link to the post in the body.

As for the security used - I'm not certain as it is a client file.

whoit

Hi - We have implemented this code to check for Security, and it works on most PDFs except the one I have provided via email. // Checking whether the document has any security long llNameAtom; llNameAtom = loDoc.GetSecurityHandlerType(false); if (llNameAtom == 0) { // No security lbResult = false; }...

And, is there a way to add text to a PDF besides ShowtextBlock, ShowTextLine, Watermark, Annotation ?

whoit

If I create a TextBlock or TextLine using ContentCreator, is there a method for automatically setting the font size, based on a string, to fit the Box? For example, if I have the string "This is my sample text" and a TextBlock or TextLine that is 20 points wide, is there a property that wi...

whoit

Summarize Comments? Not aware of that one....does it just extract all the comment text into a string? Typically we would want something like the results from OCR - "invisible" text boxes over the top of existing text that could be selected and/or searched.... (We only use the CoreAPI - not...

whoit

I think you are focusing on "autocad"
when the real question was whether or not you can convert annotations to a searchable text layer....

whoit

One more thing - I've noticed that the original PDF output from AutoCAD has all of the text
available as annotations - you can roll your cursor over any text and see the popup.

Can the annotations be transformed into a searchable text layer?

Thanks.

whoit

Thanks Daniel...

OK - For anyone reading this, here is a link to a FREE PDF structure browser that's very small:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfinspector

Make sure you use the Pane menu to select the proper viewing windows or you won't see anything besides the basic Page hierarchy.

-Enjoy

whoit

Great! The image utility will help.

But still - for the stamp file creation - is this something that can be done with a 3rd party utility?
I understand I can find one to view the structure - but what about creating it?

Thanks again,
Wayne

whoit

Hi Alex - though in your case, I don't see why you need it, because you can add stamps from file and name them as you like. Based on the questions I've asked so far, yes this is true. But if I want to use the capability of multiple stamps in a single PDF I'll need this info... As for the supported f...

whoit

And what is the PDF Structure Browser you are using?

How can someone create the Stamp PDF?

Sorry - one more:
Where can I find a list of allowed file types to use as stamps with this method:

Code: Select all

IAFS_File file = destPath.FileSys.OpenFile(destPath, openFileFlags);

whoit

Ok, you lost me on that one!

Where is the Names dictionary?

whoit

OK, one more question - this is about your sample code...

This line:

Code: Select all

IPXC_StampInfo si = sc[0]; //getting stamp by index - they are sorted by name

I understand getting the image from the Collection by index, but what do you mean by "they are sorted by name" ?

whoit

I'm having a very difficult time finding the changes/build notes link for Core API (I'm not interested in the Editor

)

Can you please post it here or tell me exactly where I can find it?

Thanks!

whoit

I was able to get better results, however still not as good as I was hoping. "They" are getting about 95% of the words using a color image, and the resulting fidelity is still great. I am getting about 80% of the words but sacrificing fidelity greatly. I can typically get more words at 200...

whoit

Hi Daniel -

I can make it darker but one of my concerns that I mentioned in the original post is that I
have results from another competitor that are nearly 100% using the exact same drawing, and
no changes in color.
I'm pretty sure they are using OCRTools too....

OK, I just sent a zip file ~4mb...

Hi - I'm using the sample OCR code provided with v7 of Pro SDK, and when I test either of the two PDFs, the result is about 10% text recognition. I used the defaults set in the sample app, but changed the DPI = 600. I've tested the same files using a competitor's app and they get near 100% (I'm pret...

whoit

Sure, that's what I meant - just like in your sample code....

whoit

ok, got it..

I'll follow the Sample code and use an existing one..."prime the pump" so to speak

whoit

Hi Alex -

I ended up sending email to Sales to get the info....thanks anyway!

You can delete this post if you like...

whoit

I have a valid Pro SDK v7 license and would like the Key and Code necessary for me to use the OCRTools DLL
as indicated by this method:

Code: Select all

hResult = PDFXOCR.PDFXOCR_Funcs.OCR_Init(out pdf, key, code);

Thank You.

whoit

OK, I've tried the sample code and it works fine and makes sense - it will help a lot. However, it doesn't really address my issue with the crashing code. Your sample starts with an existing Collection and not with CreateEmptyCollection which is where mine crashes... In your earlier response you ind...

Hi Alex -
Thanks for this code - I'll dig through it today.

FYI, since my last post I figured out how to access the Standard stamps (Item 1).

Thanks.

Where can I find documentation of the changes in the latest (7.0.325.0) release?
Bug fixes, modifications, etc...

Thanks.

I'm adding a reply to post partial code for using an Image as a Stamp (still unresolved). This is the code I have so far (using CoreAPI v7): IPXC_StampsManager myMgr = pxcInst.StampsManager; IPXC_StampsCollection junk = myMgr.CreateEmptyCollection("WEH"); //Why crashing here? //Getting IAF...

Hi Alex -
Ok, it seems odd to me that you'd remove Justify, but as long as it can be done in one way or another....

Hi Alex - I've runs some tests and it appears that there is a typo in the XFA spec regarding "justifyall" XFA claims to support it, but it does not work in the TextBlock or in the Annotation. (see page 1190, Horizontal Alignment in XFA spec) I've tried "text-align:justifyall;" an...

Hi - I've got C# code that handles "FreeText" annotations, and now I would like to work with "Stamps", however I cannot find any sample code or descriptions. For example, I've tried this basic code which only yields the "DRAFT" stamp - the same one I see in the Editor S...

whoit

Hi Alex -

Ok, so:

1) We wait to hear about the code typo and fix so that PXC_TextJustification works properly
2) I can implement code based on your link to insert the necessary text-align setting into the existing text.
3) Is there any way to use "JustifyAll" in an annotation?

Correct?

whoit

Hi Alex - I reviewed the word sample, and you're right (again!) - I was being stupid and confusing font size with thickness. So, yes, I need a way to apply the stroke after the scaling of the font.... The code I'm using is actually code that you supplied here: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic...

whoit

I thought I'd start a new thread since the other is getting a bit long. I have a few questions about Fonts and Alignment when using the Annotation "FreeText" First, I assume this is the same as a "Text Box" when in the editor. Here is a screenshot from the editor: http://www.coas...

I'm using ContentCreator for the Font and Drawing (is that what you mean when you refer to CTM?) contentCreator.SetStrokeColorRGB(color.RGB); contentCreator.SetLineWidth(1); ... contentCreator.ConcatCS(mResMatrix); ... contentCreator.ShowTextBlock.... So how can I keep the Stroke at a specific value...

whoit

Unchecking 'relative' only makes the font size exact (instead of auto-scaling up to fit). However, when the font size is small, the stroke is still way too large: http://www.coastallogic.com/public/Snap1newoutline.png Plus, since I'm using CoreAPI I would need an equivalent to "scale relative&q...

Hi - I'm using ContentCreator and ShowtextBlock to add text to my PDF, and I've found an issue when using Stroke and font size. Even though I'm using CoreAPI, I've replicated the problem in PDF-XChange Editor and used the screenshots here. The issue is that the Stroke Width is not absolute, but seem...

whoit

Yeah, I assumed that there was a comparable API in Core but wasn't sure of the name....thanks.

whoit

Well, that makes sense!

Thanks again,
