' This example demonstrates the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text ' from scanned PDF documents and raster images. ' Create TextExtractor object Set extractor = CreateObject("Bytescout.PDFExtractor.TextExtractor") extractor.RegistrationName = "demo" extractor.RegistrationKey = "demo" ' Load sample PDF document extractor.LoadDocumentFromFile("..\..\multi_language_ocr.pdf") ' Enable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) extractor.OCRMode = 1 ' OCRMode.Auto = 1 ' Set the location of OCR language data files extractor.OCRLanguageDataFolder = "c:\Program Files\Bytescout PDF Extractor SDK\ocrdata_best" ' Set OCR language targeting multiple languages english and french ' "eng" for english, "deu" for German, "fra" for French, "spa" for Spanish etc - according to files in "ocrdata" folder. extractor.OCRLanguage = "eng+fra" ' 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. ' But they significantly hit the performance, so do not enable them by default. ' 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 OCRAnalyzer class to find an optimal set of image preprocessing ' filters for your specific document. ' See "OCR Analyser" example. ' Save extracted text to file extractor.SaveTextToFile("output.txt") WScript.Echo "Extracted text saved as 'output.txt'." Set extractor = Nothing
