Laserfiche Form PDF not OCRing

asked on October 16, 2016

Hi,

Our client is using LF 10.1 with Forms. When a Form is submitted, the first steps is saving it into a LF repository folder as a PDF file.

By default, these files are not OCRed. I can write a workflow to perform this part but for PDFs which already exists in this folder without any text, I would like to use the Generate Text button to generate searchable text.

In a separate process where a form is saved as ITFF, the texts are being generated using the generate searchable text option but with less than desired accuracy.

Unfortunately the PDF files are not generating searchable text at all. I have updated the production system to generate TIFFs instead of PDF but we still need PDFs to be searchable. Please can you provide some assistance in generating text for existing PDFs and about how to generate accurate text automatically.

Thanks,

Adarsh

I am able to generated text from the pdf form saved by Forms with Laserfiche Client 10.1. Can you check what option did you select from Laserfiche Client->Options->Advanced Settings for PDFs? Do you select "Use native text extraction"?

Thanks it worked. I tried using different options and now it is extracting text.
