Hi,

I am trying to perform ocr a PDF Document using Syncfusion.PDF.OCR.NET with .NET 6 running on windows but it throws the following exception.

Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfException: 'Syncfusion.Pdf.PdfException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

   at Syncfusion.OCRProcessor.OCRProcessor.ProcessOCR(String[] args, String[] imagePathList)

   at Syncfusion.OCRProcessor.OCRProcessor.GetHOCR(String imagePath, String dataPath, Boolean multiPageTiff, String[] imagePathList)

   at Syncfusion.OCRProcessor.OCRProcessor.PerformOCR(PdfLoadedDocument lDoc, Int32 startIndex, Int32 endIndex, String dataPath)'

I'm using Syncfusion.PDF.OCR.Net.Core 20.4.0.38

and this is my code.

            using (var outputPdf = new FileStream(fileOcrFullPath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))

            {

                using (var pdfFile = new FileStream(pdfPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))

                {

                    using (OCRProcessor processor = new OCRProcessor(@"TesseractBinaries/Windows"))

                    {

                        PdfLoadedDocument pdf = new PdfLoadedDocument(pdfFile);

                        processor.Settings.Language = Languages.English;

                        processor.PerformOCR(pdf, @"tessdata/");

                        pdf.Save(outputPdf);

                        pdf.Close();

                    }

                }

            }

I'm using indonesia trained data from tesseract.

Thanks in advance.

The reported exception may occurs due to missing or mismatch assemblies of the Tesseract binaries and Tesseract data from OCR processor or the VC++ 2015 redistributable files are missing in the machine, where the OCR processor takes place. So, we need to install the VC++ 2015 redistributable files in your machine.

 

Please select both vc_redist.x64.exe or x86.exe and install it.
