OCR flag

Jan Hrin

Is there any flag in MFiles that the document has OCR layer?

Use case: Customer has contracts with OCR without signatures. Users usualy replace versions with OCR (without signatures) with new scan (pdf) with signatures but without OCR.
I need to identify which documents do not have an OCR layer.

    There is not natively, no.  You could have some custom code (event handler, custom property value, etc.) that perhaps checks the file type and, if it's a PDF or similar, calls GetTextContent.  If any text content is returned then it's got a text layer, otherwise it does not.

    There's a performance overhead to do this of course, so that would be something to consider with large volumes of content.
