Hallo an alle, ich bräuchte sehr DRINGEND Hilfe bei folgendem Problem: Ich soll eine Weltkarte mit benannten Ländern überarbeiten, die leider nur als PDF verfügbar ist und in Illustrator geöffnet werden kann. Das Problem ist, dass die Namen der Länder nur als Vektordateien verfügbar ist, aber nicht als Text. Ich soll die ganze Datei aber am Ende als .indd Datei mit den Namen der Länder als Text abgeben. Kennt irgendjemand ein Tool, das automatisch Text erkennen kann und auch automatisch ein Textfeld in einer .indd Datei erstellen kann? Vielleicht hat auch irgendjemand eine Idee, wie ich das lösen kann.
Vielen Dank auf jeden Fall für die Hilfe. Liebe Grüße

Illustrator ist an und für sich KEIN allgemeiner PDF-Editor, doch hier würde ich es auch damit tun, weil die Texte bereits als Outlines vorhanden sind.

Texterkennung auf einer Landkarte wird kaum funktionieren. InDesign kommt da nicht infrage. Mach es in Illustrator, auf einer neuen Ebene und gib acht, dass für zukünftige Überarbeitungen der Text auch Text bleibt, natürlich auf neuen Ebenen.

SPeicher die Datei am Ende als AI oder PDF/X-4, um diese in InDesign zu importieren. Auf keinen Fall als EPS!

The problem is that the names of the countries are only available as vector files, but not as text. But I am supposed to hand in the whole file as an .indd file with the names of the countries as text. Does anyone know of a tool that can automatically detect text...

There are multiple tools that can detect text on an image. For example, if you're on Mac, you can save your map as an image, then open it Preview, then select and copy your country names as text. This at least will save you the time of retyping them manually. You'll still have to do everything else manually of course, such as positioning them in Illustrator/InDesign, applying fonts etc.

 

It's quite possible that more robust AI-based (not meaning Illustrator) text recognition tools also exist that can save you a few more manula steps.

p.s. actually maybe you can just open the actual PDF in Preview (without converting it to an image) and the text can be recognized and copied too, I never tried.

As has already been said - you can do OCR in multiple ways - but you'll still need to position texts manually anyway...

 

You could probably make your life a bit easier - if those vectors has a unique formatting - always the same for all countries - then you could find them and move them on a separate layer - in Illustrator - then hide everything else, export only this one layer and run through OCR.

 

 

The whole process could probably be automated ... each vectorised name exported as a separate image - run through OCR - maybe somehow original name could be paired with recognised text then correct text placed back in Illustrator - or InDesign - but you rather don't have time for that?
