Citavi Please Make a Selection and Click the Icon Again

Maybe the text in the PDF file is slightly rotated? And so Citavi can no longer draw a frame around the text. (I don't know how many degrees of rotation Citavi still accepts.)

I would try to edit the scanned PDF in another OCR program, preferably Acrobat DC or ABBYY FineReader

All the best

Thanks. I checked everything once more. I re-performed OCR from the original scan, this time making sure to straighten the pages properly. Still the same result. What bugs me is that Citavi conspicuously regonizes the text if I utilize the search function. I guess it has something to do with my editor. I'll see if I tin can try some other OCR editor.

Thank you, Susanne.

Unfortunately, I don't take Ghostscript, and I can't install anything myself on the computer (I am not the admin).

I upload a test pdf here, and then that you or anyone else can attempt it. This is a simple scan from a printed document, to which I have practical OCR in the PDF-Xchange Editor. Information technology does seem like Citavi tin't read this file properly. The OCR'd text is perfectly understood when I open the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader, by the mode.

Maybe it is possible to have Citavi read this kind of document produced past PDF-Xchange Editor properly in a future update?

Cheers, Susanne.
