Property Value

A DocumentObjectManager object that can be used to parse the document pages objects such as the text items. The default value is null (Nothing in VB).

Instances of the DocumentObjectManagerare not created directly. Instead access the instance automatically created inside a DocumentReader using the ObjectManager property.

The DocumentObjectManager contains the ParsePageText method that allows you to parse the text of the document. You can use ParsePageText to parse the text of all the pages in a document by using it in a loop. However, you must call BeginParse before parsing starts and EndParse when parsing is done.

The various document readers will parse text differently, currently, LEADTOOLS ships with the following document readers:

• DocumentReaderType.Pdf: This the document reader responsible for parsing PDF documents. The PDF documents text is parsed without the need of an OCR engine

• DocumentReaderType.Xps: This the document reader responsible for parsing XPS documents. The XPS documents text is parsed without the need of an OCR engine

• DocumentReaderType.Raster: This the document reader responsible for parsing everything else, such as TIFF and JPEG documents. An OCR engine is required to parse the text of the document (by passing a started object of type Leadtools.Forms.Ocr.IOcrEngine to BeginParse

LEADTOOLS will add more document readers and functionality in the near future for document such as DICOM, DOC/DOCX(2007/2010), XLS/XLSX(2007/2010) and RTF.

More objects types such as images, bookmarks, hyperlinks and annotations will also be added in the near future.

For an example, refer to DocumentObjectManager.
