Determines how image elements inside SVG documents are treated during SVG conversion.
Value | Member | Description |
---|---|---|
0 | Auto | Use SVG engine unless the page is full raster. |
1 | Disabled | Do not use OCR recognition for the image elements. Instead, the image element is added as is to the final document. |
2 | Always | Use OCR recognition on the image elements. The recognition data is added to the final document with the rest of the other SVG elements of the page. Requires a valid IOcrEngine set in the converter using SetOcrEngineInstance. |
DocumentConverterSvgImagesRecognitionMode is used as the type of the SvgImagesRecognitionMode property to determine how image elements are treated during SVG conversion.
The following table helps determine what would occur during conversion depending on the type of each DocumentPage in the input LEADDocument:
Value | Page Type | Behavior |
---|---|---|
Auto | SVG with only text or mixed image and text elements | Only the text elements are extracted |
Auto | SVG with raster elements only | The image elements are recognized and text extracted using the OCR engine |
Disabled | SVG with only text or mixed image and text elements | Only the text elements are extracted |
Disabled | SVG with raster elements only | No text is extracted |
Always | SVG with only text or mixed image and text elements | The text elements are extracted and The image elements are recognized and text extracted using the OCR engine |
Always | SVG with raster elements only | The image elements are recognized and text extracted using the OCR engine |
The engine will use DocumentPage.IsSvgSupported and DocumentPage.IsSvgConversionPreferred as well as checking the SVG of the page elements (returned by DocumentPage.GetSvg) to perform the actions described above.
When Always is used, a valid (started) IOcrEngine set in the converter using SetOcrEngineInstance.
When Auto is used, a valid (started) IOcrEngine instance should be set in SetOcrEngineInstance. If this value is null, then the engine will behave as if Disabled was used.
Note: When using OcrEngineType.LEAD engine, DocumentPage.GetText will try to optimize the speed of OCR recognition for text format output (for instance, will not try to recognize the font decorations such as bold or italic). This is done by checking if Recognition.AutoRecognizeManager.FormatSpeedOptimized
is true (the default value). This optimization may result in DocumentPage.GetText producing slightly different recognition on complex input raster images than IOcrPage.GetText which does not use the value of the setting. Therefore, if producing the same exact results from the two methods is desired, set the value of the setting to false in the IOcrEngine used with the document.
