07-19-2007, 4:37 derevell Joined on 11-16-2006 Posts 52 languagecharacterplusfilter applied only to certain zones I need to have different languagecharacterplusfilter's applied to different zones on a page. Example, I have a persons name that will need ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-,. and then I have phone numbers that need 0123456789-() I have others, but I don't see any properties at the zone level to set the languagecharacterplusfilter. It looks like the languagecharacterplusfilter is global. Is that true? If there is a way to apply a custom filter on a zone, can you post up some sample code in C#? Thanks, Dave    Report

Therefore the best you could do is two custom types of filters on the same image.  Otherwise you are limited to the other non-custom values of the RasterDocumentCharacterFilters enumeration.

Is the Alpha do CAPS and lower case and Plus? So if I had a name: Doe, Mary-Jo Jr would that work the same way? It would be nice to knock this down to a zone by zone basis since ea zone has different types of data. Maybe even allow regular expressions. Any chance of this feature in another future version?

07-23-2007, 16:33 derevell Joined on 11-16-2006 Posts 52 Re: languagecharacterplusfilter applied only to certain zones Greg, The request would be to have character filters defined individually for each zone. So if I have 10 different zones on page, I can have ea zone have its own character filter. Example zone1.characterFilter = "C0123456790"; zone2.characterFilter = "0123456789/:" etc. It would also be nice to take it a step further and be able to define a regular expression. I.E. (xxx)xxx-xxxx for a phone # so that the ( doesn't OCR as / or I or something. Thanks, I'm sure this would help out those of us processing forms quite a bit. Dave    Report
