The demo "OCRWithLayout" (IEVision) shows how to regcognize the text from a PDF (load in to ImageneView1), that contains the text as image. It draws the recognized text by adding a new textlawer then on the ImageEnview2.
My Question: I would like to save the extracted text into the original PDF behind the image, so that the pdf becomes searchable.
Alternatively it would also be OK to create a new PDF and saving image and text in the described order.
Is that possible with ImageEn, and if yes, how?
If I save the ImageEnview2 as a pdf (imageenview2.io.SaveToFilePDF('D:\ANewOne.pdf')), then all the text is on a small area on the left side (0,5 cm width and pageheigt).

Hi
ImageEn cannot modify the page content of an existing PDF. It can create pages and/or PDF files, and add or remove whole pages, but not edit the page content.
But in this case it sounds like you are attempting to an existing function: Convert an image into a searchable PDF file.

It works in principle. But the resulting pdf page is too small. As Input-file I have an Image with size 827x1170 pixels. But the resulting pdf has only size of 7x9 cm (instead of 21x29 cm).
How can I change this, so that I get a pdf-page with normal A4-Size?
Tying to add
ImageEnMView1.IEBitmap.Params.PDF_PaperSize := iepA4;
has no effect.
If I use "Aquire" then the resulting PDF will be OK, but not by open an image-file.

Hi Harry
Can you show me your code? This worked fine for me:
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile( 'd:\827x1170.gif' );
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.PDF_PaperSize := iepA4;
ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFile( 'd:\827x1170.pdf' );

I used your demo (Generate Searchable PDF):
// File -> Open
procedure TF_ScannPDF.Open1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
filename: string;
begin
filename := ImageEnMView1.MIO.ExecuteOpenDialog();
if filename <> '' then
ImageEnMView1.MIO.LoadFromFile(filename);
end;
And than I add it here:
for i := 0 to ImageEnMView1.ImageCount - 1 do
begin
ImageEnMView1.SelectedImage := i;
Application.ProcessMessages();
ImageEnMView1.IEBitmap.ParamsEnabled := true;
ImageEnMView1.IEBitmap.Params.PDF_PaperSize := iepA4; // This added here, has no effect
ImageEnMView1.IEBitmap.Params.Dpi := ImageEnMView1.MIO.Params[i].Dpi;
pdfGen.addPage(ImageEnMView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage());
end;

It is important for me, that also the way over the file-loading works. Because my program is a 64-Bit Program, I can not use your Aquire-function. I have a 32-Bridgeprogram, that aquires the image, that is saved to jpg or png. This file I load into the ImageEnMView. But resulting pdf has no A4-Size.

OK, I have solved it insofar, as I create always an 100 DPI Pixel Image (Size 827x1169) and stretchdraw all input (via scanner or open file) to that size. Then I set "ImageEnMView1.IEBitmap.Params.Dpi" always to 100 DPI and then all resulting pages have the A4 size.

Hi Harry
TIEVisionSearchablePDFGenerator is an external feature, it makes no use of IOParams.PDF_PaperSize.
You must specify the size of document by setting the size of the source bitmap, or specifying a DPI as follows:
ImageEnMView1.IEBitmap.ParamsEnabled := true;
ImageEnMView1.IEBitmap.Params.Dpi := DPI_VALUE;
pdfGen.addPage(ImageEnMView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage());
