Dear all,
I am interested in utilizing OCR-Layer extraction as demonstrated in the following document:
I have a question:
Is this functionality on the client side or does the server component have to be installed?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Amir
Thank you for contacting Apryse support.
I’m reviewing your request and will get back to you shortly.
Thanks for your question. I am sending this over to the appropriate group. They should update your shortly.
Text extraction, of whatever text is in a PDF, is client side yes. This would include any text added by any previous OCR.
But if you are talking about actually doing OCR processing (adding text to an image based PDF) then that is only available server side. The OCR module is not available client side only.
If you are indeed asking about the latter, perhaps you could elaborate on why doing an OCR pass on an image/PDF client side in the browser is important for your users?
Hi Ryan,
I appreciate your response.
I’m currently working on enhancing the document comparison feature, specifically focusing on allowing users to compare two documents, either of which may contain an OCR layer from a previous operation. To achieve this, it seems like I need to incorporate the following code into the webViewer instance.
1)Is this functionality on the client side or does the server component have to be installed?
2)and the code is correct?
Looking forward to your guidance on implementing this.
Best regards,
Amir
Hello a.kehtarian,
Comparisons are client-side. A server component is not necessary for it.
Looking at your code, there does not appear to be any concerns.
If you run into any problems, feel free to reach out providing any error messages and network logs, and we’ll be sure to diagnose the issue.

Hello Jacob,
I appreciate your prompt response.
While I don’t encounter any issues with the comparison process itself, my concern lies in the handling of a document with an OCR layer. In the provided source code, the solution involves extracting the OCR layer. Could you clarify whether this extraction process occurs client-side or requires a server?
Additionally, I’m curious whether I can incorporate the extraction code into a webViewer instance, or if a separate application is necessary. My ultimate goal is to obtain an output that can be utilized for the comparison process.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards, Amir
