Using PDFXchange Editor 6.318.1, when performing Documents\OCR pages... on a PDF document containing images defined as Color Space: DeviceRGB, the output produces those images as DeviceGray. (BTW, shouldn't that be 'grey'?)
I've tried several files, all with the same result, including the PDF-XChange Editor/Editor Plus V6 USER MANUAL.
I couldn't find any setup parameter for the OCR plugin. Is this a bug or am I missing?

Hi Claude,
Thanks for the post - I'm not able to reproduce this here, even with the manual you mentioned. Can you upload a small sample from your PC? Also, please export your settings under Edit --> Export Settings and forward them to us here.
Cheers,

Grey and gray are both acceptable. 'Gray' is more popular in the U.S., whereas 'grey' is more popular in Europe. We tend to stick to the U.S. spellings, as do most software manufacturers.(BTW, shouldn't that be 'grey'?)

Re: OCR: colored images OCR'd to grey
I've narrowed down the issue I'm having.
If I set 'output type' to 'Preserve original content and Add text layer', then image color is retained (color space: DeviceRGB).
If I set 'output type' to 'Create new searchable PDF', then image color is lost (color space: DeviceGray).
In both tests:
- Accuracy = high
- Output quality = auto
- Auto deskew = off
Exported settings and sample PDF attached.

Thanks for that Claude - I was able to reproduce it without importing your settings and does appear specific to the Create New Searchable PDF featire. I'll forward this along to the Dev. Team for investigation.
