OCR language not available even after installing the languages pack

Post by mayank.vijayvergiya »

Hi,

I am using a licenced version of PDF-Xchange Editor Plus.

Version 9.2, build 359.0 (Enhanced OCR)

I am trying to convert a pdf file with 'Hindi' language text to a word file.

While using 'OCR' feature I noticed that Hindi is not in the list of available languages dropdown, So I searched in 'Add/Update languages', and found 'Hindi' is not present there too.

So, I downloaded and installed the Indian language pack from below url :
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/pdf-xchange-ocr

However, I am still unable to see the 'Hindi' language in the OCR list of available languages.

Please help.

Hello, mayank.vijayvergiya

Language packs for the Enhanced OCR plugin are provided to us by ABBYY, if they do not appear within the list in the add/update languages menu, unfortunately they are not available for the EOCR engine at all.
The package your downloaded from the website directly would be a package for our older OCR engine. This engine cannot create editable text (only searchable text). If you would like to switch to the old OCR engine, you can do so from the preferences (Ctrl_K) under the OCR tab. Once you have switched the engine in use, restart the Editor, and then launch the OCR dialog. You should now see the installed language options are present.

Kind regards,
