I don’t quite remember. Because there was a time lag between the emergence of DT3, DT4, DTTG4 and macOS 26, and I didn’t use the OCR function of DT much before.
At first, I found that the files (Chinese PDFs) after OCR with DT3 couldn’t be annotated by DT3 itself (I reported this issue a few years ago, unless ForceEditablePDFS was enabled). Therefore, in the past, I mainly used PDFpen 12 for OCR.
After buying the M4 Mac last year, I found that the PDFpen 12 couldn’t be installed normally on the new machine. Therefore, alternative solutions need to be considered. The new version of Nitro PDF too expensive.
Later, I spent $70+ on PDF Reader Pro and used its 3.x version for OCR. DT could annotate, but it didn’t work after upgrading to 4.x.
At this point, I no longer wanted to spend money on this hassle. Therefore, I opened ForceEditablePDFs, but found that its compatibility with Chinese in Ver.4 (DT & DTTG) was too poor. DTTG 4 initially couldn’t recognize Chinese properly. After the feedback, you have made significant improvements and can now perform OCR normally (thank you very much), but it still can’t annotate normally at present.
