Comments

This function returns a handle to the OCR engine document manager which allows you to create new OCR documents that are used to create final documents such as PDF or Microsoft Word from the recognition results.

The L_OcrDocumentManager allows you to do the following:

Create instance of L_OcrDocument handle that contains an OCR'ed document that you can add/remove/move and some other functionality to the document pages by using some functions like L_OcrDocument_AddPage, L_OcrDocument_InsertPage, L_OcrDocument_RemovePage, L_OcrDocument_RemovePageAt, L_OcrDocument_MovePage or L_OcrDocument_ClearPages. You have two modes for creating the OCR document, file-based mode and memory-based mode and you can specify the type you wish to use when you call L_OcrDocumentManager_CreateDocument function, for more information about document creation, refer to L_OcrDocumentManager_CreateDocument function documentation. Once you are done with adding and preparing the pages into the OCR document, you can use the save method L_OcrDocument_Save to save the document into its final format. LEADTOOLS supports saving to various standard document formats such as PDF, Microsoft Word, HTML and several others. For more information, refer to DOCWRTFORMAT documentation.
Get or set the options to use when creating new documents such as the font names.
