How to convert characters which rendered embed fonts and subset fonts to editable Word document?

Hi,
I'm afraid my question must not have been clear. I have restated them hoping for resolution.

1. I wanted to know why my API calls were not able to read the file I attached earlier. It works with other files but the attached file does not work. You have given me a work around but I want to know why they don't work with this file. Is this something that's going to be fixed? Is the problem with the fonts?

2. The second question wasn't about using my API commands. I know how to use them. I've been using them for years. They do work except for on the attached file. The question was are there api calls to do the following:

ocr2any.exe -ocr -ocrmode 2 D:\test.pdf D:\out.pdf

Can this only be done from the command line or by Shell() type api calls?

3. So for what I need to do I need to purchase the Server License or the Developer License?

Yes, this problem is caused by embedded fonts in your PDF file. Your PDF file contains embedded fonts, the characters which rendered by these embedded fonts could not be extracted properly.

Thanks for your message, ocr2any.exe is a Command Line application, you can run it by manual in the Command Line Windows, you can also call it from your VB code by Shell() function.

If you wish call a DLL Library instead of ocr2any.exe, you may download "VeryPDF OCR to Any Converter SDK/COM" from this web page to try,
