Description

Writes text on the PDF.
This function is good to overlay an OCRed image with text, so you can copy/search the text.
Please set a default font before calling this function.

Be aware that if the font loaded in pdf page is wider than scanned font, the words can overlap.
Plugin version 7.5 or newer will reduce font size if needed to fit word length to fix this.

Examples

Insert image and write text over it:

MBS("DynaPDF.InsertImage"; OCR::Image; $x; $y; $w; $h)
MBS( "OCR.WriteToPDF"; $x; $y; $w; $h)
