OCR processing is a compute-intensive and time-consuming process. Previously OCR processing could be controlled by profiles – used or not used – but if OCR processing was enabled, all image formats supported by the OCR engine (JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF) were generally OCR processed.
With the FCpro version 1.0.84 there is now the possibility to specify criteria for the OCR processing in order to subject only certain criteria defined image files to an OCR recognition. If the criteria are fulfilled then no OCR processing takes place and the files are converted directly into an image PDF. For multi-page documents, the criteria are checked on the first page. Planned are additional criteria for the file size (in kB), the color depth (black and white, grayscale, color), as well as the option to set the criteria per file format individually.
Conditions:
- File format – TIFF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, PDF – OCR – yes / no
- Number of pages – smaller / equal / larger
- Page format – width / height in mm or pixels – smaller / equal / larger
- Resolution – dpi – less / equal / greater
