Handling Image-only Pages

Pages without a text layer are a special case for conversion. You can decide how the program should handle these pages: convert them with the built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR), transfer them as images to the target document or skip them. You can require inspection of the first pages (up to ten) in files you open. Optionally, you can set conversion to be stopped, if no text-layer pages are detected.

If you have Nuance ® OmniPage ® , you can use this to have more control over the recognition process.

Language Support

PDF Converter supports over 100 languages, including Danish, Dutch,

English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish,

Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. The program can convert multi-lingual documents. A full list of supported languages is provided in Help. Correct language choice is important for converting image-only pages and handling non-standard encoding.

A new choice is ‘Auto-detect’, which is designed for unattended processing where input image-only PDFs might be in different languages. This examines each PDF and assigns a language to it, choosing from the 22 languages with dictionary support.

SharePoint and other DMS support

PDF or XPS files can be opened from Microsoft SharePoint through a set of dialog boxes incorporated in PDF Converter, accessed from the File menu item Open from SharePoint . Other detected Document

Management Systems (Hummingbird, Worksite, DocsOPEN, LiveLink) also have a menu item; they can be accessed directly through their own interfaces. See Help for detail. Converted files can be stored in

SharePoint or other systems with the Store in Document Management

System section in the Output Options panel.
