For example, "Last Action Date" is the column header and due to lack of room, the column header is wrapped (in the same cell) into 3 lines as below: Last Action Date How can we make sure that these three words are returned in the same order when I perform ocr on the page? We are not getting these three words in same order. We are getting the text from other column headers in between .. Thanks    Report

The details to do this depends on what version of LEADTOOLS are you using and which LEADTOOLS programming interfaces you are using (API, COM Objects, or .NET Class library) to develop your application.

Unfortunately I cannot know whether a document will contain table or other data. All I want to acheive is to be able to get the list of words on the page in the correct order. This is the requirement. So for some pages that contain the table, the order of words is not corred (as in the above case, though the text belongs to the same column, they are not being reported together because the text is wrapped within the column header). How can we get this.    Report

Instead, I used the default zones that the engine finds for itself. The result was that the 3 words "Last Action Date" were automatically grouped into one zone, and when I displayed the list of recognized words, they were listed in this exact order. Can you post or send us the actual full image you're trying to OCR instead of the partial screen capture. Qasem Al-Lubani LEAD Technical Support www.leadtools.com    Report

You can try to achieve this by checking the recognized words X coordinates and comparing them with each other, if they are close then the worlds belong to the same column and you can arrange them accordingly.
