Hi, Iam using PB 10.5.2 and EZTwain 3.30.0.28, XDefs 1.36b1 by Dosadi for scanning.

Also Iam using the TOCR 3.0 for OCR management.

In a function we use the following among all others :

...

Long ll_acquire

(as_path_filename is a function argument)

...

...

TWAIN_SetAutoOCR(1)

ll_acquire = TWAIN_AcquireMultipageFile(0, as_path_filename)

the problem is that the scanned pdf page has latin (english) and greek words. The English characters are searched quite precisely but the greek don't at all.

Do you think this that this has to do with the TOCR software. I just want to search AND for greek words

Thanks in advance
