OCR pages operation not possible: No languages and OK button greyed out

Post by mattad »

I loaded a rasterized PDF into XChange Viewer.
Then I clicked on menu

Documents--->OCR pages

Unfortunately the drop down "languages" is empty.

So I downloaded from web page

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/pdf-xchange-viewer-ocr

the Basic Language pack" and copied

deu.lng
deu_pxvocr.dat
eng.lng
eng_pxvocr.dat

to Viewer installation folder.

Then I restarted Viewer but no language entries were added.

Why does Viewer not recognize the language files?

Furthermore the "OK" button is greyed out. No OCR recognition is performed.

BTW: Assume I got it managed somehow later: Into which directory will be the resulting pdf be saved?
The same as the original?

Hello mattad,

Please make a clean install of the PDF-XChange Viewer.
This is done by uninstalling the currently installed version and installing the one from this link:

http://downloads.pdf-xchange.com/PDFXVwer.zip

After the uninstalation please restart your computer.


After you have installed the version from the link, please install the All Languages Pack, because the Base Language Pack is included.


I hope this helps.


Regards.
