Question

Hello,

ich want to write a little application. In this applcation i want to call the OCR function in Adobe Acrobat. How can i call this? Is there an API function ?

Thanks for answers!

I believe this is part of the Adobe Reader software and is not accessible through an API. There's an API and libraries for constructing PDF documents per the format specifications, but OCR is something that concerns the reader and not the format. I'm afraid you would either have to use another library or implement it yourself.
