L_TCHAR * pszEnginePath;

OCR engine location

L_BOOL bUseThunk;

Flag to determine to use thunk or not

Parameter Description
phDoc Pointer to a document handle to be updated with the initialized OCR document handle. Use this handle in other OCR functions.

bUseThunk Flag to determine to use thunk or not, possible values as follows:
  Value Meaning
  TRUE Use thunk in starting the OCR engine.
  FALSE Don't use thunk in starting the OCR engine.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The L_Doc2StartUp function must be called before calling any other LEADTOOLS OCR document toolkit functions.

The user must unlock the OCR document toolkit using the L_SetLicenseFile function. If the OCR document toolkit is locked then the L_Doc2StartUp function will fail and will not initialize the OCR document toolkit.

This function will load and start the OCR document engine. When the handle to the OCR document is no longer needed, it should be freed by calling the L_Doc2ShutDown function. For every call to L_Doc2StartUp there must be an associated call to L_Doc2ShutDown function.

After starting up the engine, you should create setting collection by calling the L_Doc2CreateSettingsCollection function, and activate it by calling the L_Doc2SetActiveSettingsCollection function.
