No more Output Options when trying to OCR individual image

Post by pdfman123 »

I have PDF-XChange Editor Plus Version 9.5 Build 366.0 (Enhanced OCR)

Why did you remove Output Options when a user tries to OCR individual image? It was present in the previous build.

No, I mean this.

Why doesn't my version have the Output Options? Also it looks like my OCR feature is more limited that the one that you are showing. Why?

Hi PDFman123,

that option is only available when choosing to OCR an entire document, not from the "OCR Image" tool that you are using.
Best regards

But it used to be available in previous builds....

Shame that you removed it. Hope that you consider puting it back in the next build.

Hello, pdfman123

This function hasn't been removed, The OCR image dialog has never had output options as far as I can find. Even back to Version 7. I expect that you are thinking of the "OCR pages" tool, instead of the OCR Image tool.
With that said, I will pass the idea to add output options to the OCR image dialog along to our Dev team, though I cannot promise it will be implemented at this time.

Hi pdfman123!

You can use «OCR selected Region» as workaround:

1. Select region with desired image with Snapshot Tool.
2. Right mouse click within selected area.
3. Choose «OCR selected Region» in context menu.
4. Voilà!
It's impossible to lead us astray for we don't care even to choose the way.

I am afraid that there might be some misunderstanding, so I have attached the video captured with build 364 and build 366 for your reference. Indeed, as pdfman123 pointed out, the Output Options in the OCR Image (Enhanced) dialog seem to have been removed.

Hello, rakunavi

There was most certainly a misunderstanding on my end. I went back through previous versions to try and locate this, without thinking that I was using the portable versions for that test, which does not have access to the EOCR that enables these functions.

As you have pointed out, even with the EOCR enabled, these options are missing from the installed software in build 366. I am passing this along to our OCR team to see why and if it can be added back soon. Sadly, it may already be too late to come back for build 367.0, which is right around the corner...

Hello Pdf,

You are using the "Standard" OCR on the screenshot in your post. If in the past you were using the Enhanced One - it would indeed show more options in that dialogue.

If you do have a current Editor Plus or Pro license - you can turn the Enhanced OCR back on through the settings dialogue:

If you are unsure about your license - please DO NOT share any license info in here and e-mail us to support@pdf-xchange.com and we would be able to advise further on the possible options for your license.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Thanks, so without the license, we won't have it even with the demo mark? Had it before, recently disappeared!
