Hi Boris,

Thank you very much for the provided feedback. I understand the importance and impact such functionality can have on our customers and would like to apologize for any inconvenience or setbacks this may be causing you.

I would like to assure you that we are actively evaluating the PdfProcessing: Provide support for Optical character recognition (OCR) feature for inclusion in our development roadmap. While I cannot guarantee exact timelines at this stage, our goal is to have it implemented in the first half of 2025, more likely around Q2. Please note that these are estimates and are subject to change based on further planning and prioritization.

For the time being, I can only suggest you subscribe to the task if you haven't already in order to get notified about potential status changes in the future.

We appreciate your patience and continued trust in us.

Regards,

This will be a great feature for scenarios where the TextFormatProvider cannot extrapolate data from a PDF. We try to pull data from PDFs all the time, and the Telerik libraries fall short where the PDF is based on scanned images, etc...

Adding OCR support for PDF documents as well as scanned documents saved as PDF would be fantastic. This would greatly enhance the versatility and usability of our PDF processing system, allowing users to extract text from a wide range of sources with ease. Implementing OCR for PDFs would make our system even more valuable and competitive in today's digital landscape.
