OCR Plugin SOLVED

[AteBe]

Hallo Alex,

I successfully installed the OCR plugin with the following code.

Code: Select all

iControlSite = new OleControlSiteEx(frame, SWT.NONE, "PDFXEdit.PXV_Control.1");
iControlSite.doVerb(OLE.OLEIVERB_SHOW);
iControlSite.doVerb(OLE.OLEIVERB_UIACTIVATE);
iCtrl = new IPXV_Control(iControlSite.getPointerToUnknown());
iInst = iCtrl.Inst();
iInst.StartLoadingPlugins();
iInst.AddPluginFromFile("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tracker Software\\Editor SDK\\Bin\\Plugins.x64\\OCRPlugin.pvp");
iInst.FinishLoadingPlugins();

Nevertheless, the corresponding menu item is not displayed to me.

In addition, I try to open the OCR dialog box with the following code:

Code: Select all

iControlSite = new OleControlSiteEx(frame, SWT.NONE, "PDFXEdit.PXV_Control.1");
iControlSite.doVerb(OLE.OLEIVERB_SHOW);
iControlSite.doVerb(OLE.OLEIVERB_UIACTIVATE);
iCtrl = new IPXV_Control(iControlSite.getPointerToUnknown());
iInst = iCtrl.Inst();

IOperation operation = null;
ICabNode options = null;
int nID = iInst.Str2ID("op.document.OCRPages", false);
operation = iInst.CreateOp(nID);
operation.Params().Root().SetUnknown("Input", getActiveDocument());
options = operation.Params().Root().Item(new VARIANT("Options"));
options.SetString("PagesRange.Type", "All");
options.SetInt("OutputType", 0);
options.SetInt("OutputDPI", 300);
options.SetString("PagesRange.Type", "All");
operation.Do(0);

As a result, however, I get the following error message:

Failed loading language 'eng'
Tesseract couldn't load any languages!
Error opening data file ././eng_pxvocr.dat
Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory.


Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

Hello AteBe,

For starters, if you want to use plugins, make sure that you have created the IPXV_Inst first, initialize it, load plugins and then create the control.
Also, check out this topic :

Hello Alex,

I already read the link you sent me and created my code according to this example.
I also call the functions in the order you describe

Loading the plugin has indeed worked (see picture above).
Nevertheless, the corresponding menu item is not displayed (see picture above).

When I try to call the OCR dialog via a button with my code (see my code above), I get the described Error message.

Failed loading language 'eng'
Tesseract couldn't load any languages!
Error opening data file ././eng_pxvocr.dat
Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory.

Is there anything else I have to consider.

Hello AteBe,

Here's the needed file. Unpack it to the OCRLanguages directory and see whether this helps:

OCRLanguages.rar

Hello Alex,

the OCR recognition is now working, but only in the background.
The OCR dialog, in which one e.g. can select the language is not displayed.
How can I call the OCR dialog and the progress bar with my Code ?

Hello AteBe,

There was a small fix done in the FinishLoadingPlugins method - from the next release the OCR commands will be added into the needed places when this method is called.
The next release should be available in a few days.

Cheers,
Alex
