If you're looking to open an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) file in PDF using C#, you're in the right place. OCR files are commonly used to convert scanned documents into editable text, making them a valuable tool for digitizing paper documents.
To open an OCR file in PDF using C#, you can use the iTextSharp library, which is a popular PDF manipulation library for .NET. Below is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to open an OCR file in PDF using C#:
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using System.IO;
namespace OpenOCRFileInPDF
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string ocrFilePath = @"C:\path\to\ocrfile.txt";
string pdfFilePath = @"C:\path\to\output.pdf";
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(pdfFilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
{
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, fs);
document.Open();
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(ocrFilePath))
{
string line;
while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
document.Add(new Paragraph(line));
}
}
document.Close();
}
Console.WriteLine("OCR file successfully converted to PDF.");
}
}
}
In this code snippet, we first specify the paths to the OCR file and the output PDF file. We then create a new PDF document using the iTextSharp library and open it for writing. We read the text content from the OCR file line by line and add each line as a paragraph to the PDF document. Finally, we close the document and output the success message.
With this code, you can easily open an OCR file in PDF using C# and the iTextSharp library. This can be a useful tool for automating the conversion of scanned documents into editable PDF files.
