Replace Image in PDF without changing text

Post by mattewan » Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:12 am

Hey,

I have millions of images which have been OCR'd to searchable PDF using Abbyy Recognition Server. I now want to replace the black&white image in the PDF with a colour copy without affecting the text of the page. Re-OCR is not an option because Abbyy Recognition Server has also output various other files formats for each document, like ALTO-XML, Accuracy statistics, etc.

Is this possible with gdpicture. Is there either a way to replace the black&white image in a PDF with a colour version without destroying the searchable text, or is there a way I can extract the text and positions and put that into a colour version PDF?

Cheers,

Matthew Jones
