PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

I've got a PDF file that was OCR'd by Mobi PDF. I double-checked the OCR by closing Mobi PDF, re-opening the file, selecting a phrase, and then copy/pasting that phrase into NotePad and it's correct, so the OCR is good.

The challenge is, I'd now like to look at the output of the OCR using PdfSharp, but I can't find the text anywhere. All I can see is that in the contents of the page by calling , there is a Dictionary operator "/Part <</MCID 0 >>".

I've been reading up on marked-content identifiers but it's all new to me and I can't figure out how to find the content that the MCID is referring to.

How can I find the actual content in the PDF file? Or am I barking up the wrong tree, is the OCR text actually stored somewhere completely different?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi!
Without context, I cannot say what it is.

The commands that draw the text may use glyph indexes, as in "<002B0048004F004F0052000F0003003A00520055004F00470004> Tj".

There may be a table that maps glyph indexes to Unicode. Without that table, you cannot decode the text.
For an OCRed file, this table should be present.
