Hi all,

 

I would like to purchase the PDF tool API, to perform OCR operation for high secure content scanned files. Could you please confirm the PDF tool API is secure to use in offline and I have referred the below link for detail:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/document-services-apis/faq-for-document-services-pdf-tools-api/m-p/10726197

 

From the link, they mentioned the data will store temporarily in cloud and not permanently. Please confirm if any data secure issue will come if I supposed to purchase and use this?

The PDF Tools API is a SaaS offering. It doesn't work at all offline.

Thanks for reply, 

Is there any options apart from PDF Tool API, to develop the tool which need to run the OCR operation in multiple language Scanned PDF file?

If your data is highly secure you need to look for a different solution. Adobe's solution moves your files to their servers, where the work is done, and returns it. This would not satisfy your company's security requirements.

Thanks for your reply,

Yes, Our content is more secure, the company policies won't allowed. 

I almost developed the tool using PDF tool API in node.js(trial version) for run the OCR. Why we prefered this option is because of Adobe support compared to other open source method for data secruity.

 

My need is the dropper tool while the user drag and drop the image files into the tool, the tool will run the OCR and save as searchable PDF. I have tried with Applescript to invoke via menus in Acrobat DC to run the OCR but it won't work. In Javascript there is no feasibility to run the OCR in Acrobat DC.

 

Could you please help me to back on track.
