lshurp Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Anyone has a code to accomplish this? I am dealing with bunch of poorly converted lines from PDF that used to be AutoCAD text in the drawing. Greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmanuel Delay Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I would say no, this will not work. Can you give a sample (piece of dwg) anyway? Who knows something is possible anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bethel Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Some of the better PDF programs now have a decent Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tool. It works best with basic font and high quality PDF resolutions. I use PDF-XChange Editior Plus https://www.tracker-software.com/ -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombu Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 If you upgrade to the current version you could use the PDFSHXTEXT command to Recognize SHX Text. You may need to figure out which SHX it is and add it to Recognition Settings. If Text Style used had width factor it complicates it as well.

SLW210 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Maybe use the trial version of the latest AutoCAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombu Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 A bit drastic just for 1 routine It's not a routine, it's a command that was added to newer versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
