Text image back to Editable text

[_Prabudass_]

I need to convert "text image" to "editable text" in illustrator. I can't found any option for this in illustrator.

But in acrobat using the OCR option i changed the text image back to editable text. Is it possible to convert "text image" to "editable text" through programatically using Illustrator SDK. I need help for this. Kindly advice me.

Any script or plugin available for that.

Thanks in advance,

I do not think OCR capability in Illustrator exists.

You would have to export the image, run OCR code or an application on it, then create new text in Illustrator. Not at all trivial.

Thanks for your response. Any sample code(in javascript) available to "run OCR code". Kindly help me.

Thanks,

If you are looking for scripting advice, you are more likely to get a response on the scripting forum.

I would suggest looking at the Illustrator scripting guide and sample (both should be in the "Scripting" folder located in your Illustrator folder).
