I want to use"Recognize Text" tool option available, from my plug-in tool?  But when I searched SDK, I didn't get the corresponding tool name.

Is it possible to call that "Recognize Text" tool option from a plug-in.  If yes, please let me know, which is that correct tool name? or how to use it from my plug-in application?

 

thanks, 

Palaksha

Recognize text would not be an SDK function. If it was available for use through the SDK, it would be exposed through an HFT.  I don't remember seeing it, but then I haven't looked hard either.  

Another option to activate it with the menu option. Although this is less than ideal.

Hi

 

I don't think Adobe have exposed that to be used by 3rd party plug_ins, although you may be able to use this https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/overview/pdf-services-api/howtos/ocr-pdf/
