Program.cs
      
using System.Diagnostics; using Bytescout.PDFExtractor; // This example demonstrates the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text into csv // from scanned PDF documents and raster images. // To make OCR work you should add the following references to your project: // 'Bytescout.PDFExtractor.dll', 'Bytescout.PDFExtractor.OCRExtension.dll'. namespace ScannedPdfToCSV { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { // Create Bytescout.PDFExtractor.CSVExtractor instance CSVExtractor extractor = new CSVExtractor(); extractor.RegistrationName = "demo"; extractor.RegistrationKey = "demo"; // Load sample PDF document extractor.LoadDocumentFromFile("sample_ocr.pdf"); // Enable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) // in .Auto mode (SDK automatically checks if needs to use OCR or not) extractor.OCRMode = OCRMode.Auto; // Set the location of OCR language data files extractor.OCRLanguageDataFolder = @"c:\Program Files\Bytescout PDF Extractor SDK\ocrdata\"; // Set OCR language extractor.OCRLanguage = "eng"; // "eng" for english, "deu" for German, "fra" for French, "spa" for Spanish etc - according to files in "ocrdata" folder // Find more language files at https://github.com/bytescout/ocrdata // Set PDF document rendering resolution extractor.OCRResolution = 300; // You can also apply various preprocessing filters // to improve the recognition on low-quality scans. // Automatically deskew skewed scans //extractor.OCRImagePreprocessingFilters.AddDeskew(); // Remove vertical or horizontal lines (sometimes helps to avoid OCR engine's page segmentation errors) //extractor.OCRImagePreprocessingFilters.AddVerticalLinesRemover(); //extractor.OCRImagePreprocessingFilters.AddHorizontalLinesRemover(); // Repair broken letters //extractor.OCRImagePreprocessingFilters.AddDilate(); // Remove noise //extractor.OCRImagePreprocessingFilters.AddMedian(); // Apply Gamma Correction //extractor.OCRImagePreprocessingFilters.AddGammaCorrection(); // Add Contrast //extractor.OCRImagePreprocessingFilters.AddContrast(20); // (!) You can use new OCRAnalyser class to find an optimal set of image preprocessing // filters for your specific document. // See "OCR Analyser" example. // Save extracted text to file extractor.SaveCSVToFile("output.csv"); // Cleanup extractor.Dispose(); // Open result document in default associated application (for demo purpose) ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("output.csv"); processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = true; Process.Start(processStartInfo); } } }
