Create Searchable PDFs by OCR

We can use Iron's advanced Tesseract engine to convert Images to searchable PDFs. It can also make existing PDF's searchable.

This adds to SEO performance and internal search indexing within intranets and databases.

C#:

using IronOcr;

  var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
using (var Input = new OcrInput())
{
    Input.Add(@"images\page1.png")
    Input.Add(@"images\page2.bmp")
    Input.Add(@"images\page3.tiff")

    Input.Deskew();

    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    Result.SaveAsSearchablePdf("searchable.pdf");
}

VB:

Imports IronOcr

  Private Ocr = New IronTesseract()
Using Input = New OcrInput()
    Input.Add("images\page1.png") Input.Add("images\page2.bmp") Input.Add("images\page3.tiff") Input.Deskew()

    Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
    Result.SaveAsSearchablePdf("searchable.pdf")
End Using
