I would recommend that you OCR first and THEN apply your
"annotations".
Unfortunately, i agree, but at this point it is not possible to OCR
first in acrobat. I perform a bunch of operations on the tiffs, and
bookmark them nicely.
Is there a way to OCR the tiffs and put the text under image like adobe
does. From what i have read, iText does not easly support this, and i
have not come across a product that does this on the cheap. (under
$2000) Any suggestions?
Has anyone integrated gocr output into a searchable image PDF?
Honestly, I dont know how much effort is required to replecate the
"document capture" feature of acrobat..
My intial gut feeling is to render the text as images, and place them
on the
doc... but i wanted ask if there was an easier way.
That won't help either, as you can only have a SINGLE image on
the page for Acrobat to OCR it. It won't do it for multiple ones, IIRC.
Correct... What I actually was referring to was rendering the text on
the image file. I guess i was missleading w/ the term "doc". So,
what i was referring to was taking the tiff, stretching the canvas, and
rendering the text directly on the image. Then importing it into PDF
using iText. (sounds like digital fax technology).
