OCR not working

    I'm trying to use Dutch OCR but OCR is not applied when I save a PDF. Dutch language is selected and the option to do OCR when saving is checked. When I save a PDF, it does get saved but no recognized text is present when I open the resulting PDF. Uninstalling and reinstalling NAPS2 (most recent version) did not fix the issue.

    Is there a way to fully uninstall and reinstall NAPS2 including the downloaded OCR package? I downloaded the OCR language quite some time ago. Perhaps from a clean slate, I'll get better results.

    Thanks for the great program!

    If you want to clear the language files, go to the "%APPDATA%\NAPS2\components\tesseract-3.0.2\tessdata" folder, and delete the file "nld.traineddata". Then run NAPS2 and you should be able to re-download the dutch language files and see if that makes a difference.

    This could have happened if you first downloaded the language with the 3.0beta1 version (which had a bug that could cause this). If it still doesn't work after doing the above, please let me know.
