What I would like to do is: (a) I open the pdf document and start reading it. In my job I have to extract a lot of information from old scanned documents with no-OCR. Is it possible to insert form controls right below "Sam", "28" and "april/18/2018", so that the user can type into the form controls exactly those informations, and them those informations from the form controls can be read by the programming code?Ĭould iTextSharp do that? Or maybe a simpler tool?ĮDIT 1: Below I will try to make my goal more clear (sorry my english). "I am Sam, I am 28 years old and tomorrow is april/18/2018." The full version can be purchased as an annual subscription ($99 per year) or for a one-off cost of $150.Consider that you have a pdf document with this no-OCR text: You can get Foxit PDF Reader 10.0 now for PCs running Windows, along with Foxit Reader 4.0 for macOS, and Foxit Reader 2.4.4 for Linux.Īlso available is a 14-day trial of Foxit Phantom 10.0 Standard. A full list of changes can be found here. The PDF Optimizer receives a simplified user interface and enhancements to OCR, including the ability to edit scanned PDFs. The Action Wizard gains more functions along with support for all default actions found in Adobe Acrobat. There are also support for more form field types and Javascript, ability to create USPTO-ready PDF documents via any creation method and batch modification of backgrounds, watermarks and headers/footers across multiple documents. There’s also better support for high-resolution displays, an option to override document fonts in comments and unstated "multiple" improvements to reading tags and bookmarks, as well as bookmark editing.įoxit Phantom Standard users see the unveiling of two new admin features: the Admin Console and Update Server for managing large numbers of installations – both are cloud-based and separate services. These include the ability to set up a cache to speed up future searches, proximity searching (two or more words separated by a customizable maximum number of words) and an option to include word stems in results. Aside from a new automatic search feature that allows users to highlight all instances of a text string, several new options have been added to the Advanced Search tool.


The search tool also gains several improvements. Available tools include adding text, symbols and even user signatures that have been scanned in or drawn freehand. The biggest new feature in Foxit Reader 10.0 is a new Fill & Sign section, which is designed to provide a simple workflow for filling in non-interactive forms. Instead, Foxit directs readers to online tools for converting files to and from various formats. Users can no longer create PDFs, whether blank documents, via the scanner or clipboard, or by converting other file types. Sadly, the most noticeable change in Foxit Reader 10.0 is the removal of all its PDF creation tools.
