DocumentText Class

Summary

Manages the text options of the document.

Syntax

C++

Java

[DataContractAttribute()] 
public class DocumentText

<DataContractAttribute()>  
Public Class DocumentText

public [DataContractAttribute] 
   ref class DocumentText

public class DocumentText implements Serializable

Remarks

DocumentText manages the text of the document and can be accessed through the Text property of LEADDocument.

The text of a document page can be extracted using the DocumentPage.GetText method. This will return a DocumentPageText instance that contains the text characters found in the page with location and size properties. Furthermore, DocumentPageText supports building the words or the text as string for easy processing.

The framework can use either SVG or OCR technologies to extract the text data. Which method to use can be controlled using the TextExtractionMode property.

For more information, refer to Parsing Text with the Document Library.
