Description
Since Acer has strict limits on installation size, Foxit has took away OCR component from the initial installer. The OCR entry is placed in toolbar of the software (in Evaluation Licensed mode only). However when you try to click on the OCR entry, you will be asked to download the functionality.
Two files are required:
· OCR engine file (ocr_public), see Download and install OCR engine File.
· OCR language file (for example, ocr_efide) , see Download and install OCR language file.
Note: The EFIGS file includes languages for English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. You can download and install multiple languages accordingly.
