Hello Sir,
I am using SDK programming to generate searchable text within PDF file.
But some how its generated , can you suggest what to do with this ?
Thanks,

If the PDF does not have a text layer, then the only way to extract the text is to generate pages first and then OCR the generated pages. Your best option may be to use DCC instead of SDK.
Please help me how to you DCC ?
I am not aware of DCC and for only PDF we need this option.
Thanks,
Pratik
You mean to say from laserfiche workflow we need to use "Schedule OCR" activity using DCC ?
Thanks,

No, I mean that you create a new workflow that uses a "Schedule PDF Page Generation" activity, and set it's rule to run on create and add a criteria that the extension equals pdf.
This process will generate TIFF pages from the PDF. Then your SDK script can OCR the images that where created by the DCC.
Hello Sir,
I don't find this activity name in desktop workflow designer. Actually we are using cloud enviornment where we need to geneate searchable text on PDF which was imported using SDK
What is the best method to do so in laserfiche clound workflow ?
Thanks,
Pratik
Schedule PDF Page Generation is a new activity to Workflow 11 for self-hosted system.
Laserfiche Cloud does not have background PDF page generation yet. However, Laserfiche Cloud does include Import Agent, which does PDF page generation on import. So an SDK application should not be necessary to import PDFs into a cloud repository and generate their pages.
So you mean that OcrEngine does not work when we used SDK for importing data into the cloud repository ?
We have applied same on self-hosted system where we are able to generate text from images. So please confirm that OCREngine will only work for images not for PDF.
Now things is how we will resolve that if we have 2 TB data alreay uploaded in cloud repository and we need to findout PDF and appplied searchable text ?
Thanks,
