I am trying to perform OCR with tesseract. I can do pdf to text using tesseract java lib as expected. My requirements is extended a bit now. I need to extract metadata based on template form (kind of passport example where we have fix place for first name, date of birth etc). Input could be either pdf or image with same template form.
I am facing hard time to find any such example or article to achieve or to get further help above using tesseract.
So my basic questions :
Is this possible using tesseract?
Is there any example/articles about how to achieve this using tesseract?
Is there any other software/library which is recommended to achieve this?
Thanks for reading this.
I have come across a scenario where I have to read html data from database and display it in pdf reports. This html data also contains table structure <table></table> tags and other html element inside it. Previously we used jasper reports for our reporting needs but recently as we came to know that the above functionality is not supported in jasper, I wanted to know which reporting tool can be used so that it can be incorporated with servoy. Does birt provide this functionality?
AFAIK none of the well-known reporting tools does support this, although in BIRT it works "somehow" - but not good enough to be usable.
The reason for this is simple, I think: A reporting tool would have to incorporate a complete browser engine like WebKit or others to achieve this, because it would have to "understand" the structure for its page-breaking algorithm.
Yes, BIRT has a text element where we can set the display type to HTML. If the html table is in a dataset field you will just have to include it in the expression of the text using "value-of" tag, something like this:
<VALUE-OF format="HTML">row["htmlTableField"]</VALUE-OF>
PDF format is taking such html elements into account, including most of simple style settings such background color, text-align, borders etc.
Usually the reports render just fine with html.
There are some tricks to displaying html correctly in BIRT.
You may use a Dynamic Text element and set to html or auto.
Here are some tricks to handling free form text..
Make sure your xml is valid, I recommend replacing line breaks or you may catch a scenario where the rptdocument will not export.
Also, if possible keep these in auto layout, when using run + render. The page breaks may actually be calculated once on run and again on render. You might experience breaking issues with fixed. The page may attempt to display all the html prior to breaking a page when using the RUN() phase, in web viewer or the rptdocument. Then when rendering to pdf the the breaks are applied differently, with fixed layout.
I want to create a tutorial inside a form showing how to use my database. I created it in PowerPoint and saved it as a PDF. I was wondering if it was possible to attach this PDF in my form. I also saved these slides as images on my computer, tried to attached them to a form and it exceeded 22 inches in lenght. is there any way around this any suggestions perhaps?
You could use javascript and other tools to show the pdf as a slideshow, I recommend that you use this tool its free and you can integrate your slides in a very easy way with javascript.

Is it possible to use a LiveCycle form to gather data and export the data into various locations in a PDF? If so, how can I do this? If there's any other way to do it, I am up for that too.
Thank you.
The question isn't clear to me. Are you talking about a mechanism to store various data elements within a LiveCycle form and populating the stored data in dropdowns etc ? It will help a bit if you can explain the use case you are trying to meet.
I am new to JasperReports and iReport and I am sturggling to get the most basic example up and running. I'm trying to read input from a .xls file and put it into a table using iReport. Eventually, I want to read from a database, and transform the data in a meaningful way but for now I just want to view what I am reading and I can't get that going. First, if I just drag and drop my Field into the template, $F{Account}, I would expect to see the list of values for that field name (as I do when I preview my "query"). However, if that is all I do and then preview, I see the first account number in my input xls, and then 50 pages of empty white space. Why would this be?
Next, if I create a basic table, I am getting an error
Error filling print... null
java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sf.jasperreports.components.table.util.TableUtil.isSortableAndFilterable(TableUtil.java:344) ...
Print not filled. Try to use an EmptyDataSource...
Any help is greatly appreciated! Also, I should note, I did download JasperReports but I'm wondering if I need to somehow connect iReport to those classes. I saw a way to do it in the Netbeans plugin but I'm just trying to use the iReport GUI
The table component is great. But it's harder to use than it should be. Take a look at this Table Component tutorial to learn how to use it.
For the first part of your question you don't give enough information for anyone to know. My guess is that you put the field into the Title band rather than the Detail band.
