The text in PDF documents and drawings is often made up of scattered lines or scanned images, and cannot be copied and pasted. Although some software offers text recognition capabilities, it often requires frequent switching between different programs, and it is not good at recognizing text or symbols used in the engineering industry (such as rebar symbols). The above issues cause great inconvenience to users in the engineering field! Thanks to the technical efforts of the PDF Quick View product team, PDF Quick View now supports \"extracting text\"! Key advantages of the text extraction feature: Accuracy: Utilizing OCR deep learning* technology, it can recognize common Simplified Chinese and English texts. Speed: Even long text passages can be extracted in just 1 second! Specialty: The software supports the escape recognition of rebar symbols in the engineering industry; it is the first personal PDF office application in this field to offer rebar symbol recognition! Lightweight: With 【PDF Quick Viewer】, you can extract text without the need to download any additional tools or plugins. Use PDF Quick Viewer to quickly annotate, measure, copy, and compare PDF documents and drawings, giving you a competitive edge in your work! 【Usage Steps】1. First, ensure that the software has been upgraded to version v3.7.0.22 or higher. The software download link is: https://pdf.everdrawing.com/ 2. Open a PDF file containing text. 3. Locate the text you want to extract; resize the document to an appropriate size (use the scroll wheel while holding Ctrl, or utilize the window resizing function) so that the text is clearly visible. 4. Click the “Extract Text” button on the menu bar (or use the shortcut key T) to start extracting the text. 5. Select the text you want to extract; once the selection is complete, text recognition begins, and the extracted text will be displayed shortly thereafter. 6. Compare the extracted text with the original document, and make any necessary corrections directly in the pop-up window showing the extracted text. 7. Click the “Copy All Text” button to paste the extracted text into another text processing application. Tutorial GIF: Note: The “Extract Text” function can recognize rebar symbols; however, since grades of steel 2 and above cannot be typed using a keyboard, letters are used as substitutes. The corresponding relationships are as follows: 【Precautions】1. The software allows use of the “Extract Text” function even in smaller view sizes, but to ensure accurate selection of the text boundaries, it is recommended to resize the text to an appropriate size to improve the accuracy of text extraction. 2. When selecting text, make sure to select the entire text block—partial selections will not allow for accurate recognition. 3. Avoid selecting other elements in the document while selecting text, as this may interfere with the text extraction process. 4. Only one column of text can be extracted at a time; multiple columns must be extracted separately. 5. Selecting too much text may require waiting; selecting a smaller area will result in faster recognition. 6. The default shortcut key for “Extract Text” is T, but you can also customize this shortcut in the shortcut settings. 7. Currently, the recognition function supports only Simplified Chinese and English; other languages are not supported yet
