Hello @ll
Have any of you tried implementing webcon with the project Stirling-PDF instead FineReader?

Hi,
could you share a little bit more which parts of Stirling-PDF do you want to use?
I'm not sure which functionalities of FineReader are used by Webcon (didn't had a chance to use it), although from what i've read it for sure provides OCR (https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/finereader-11-installation/93).
Stirling-PDF underneath uses OCR-my-pdf, which you should be able to use to generate OCR layer too - no need to host whole GUI etc.
https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF
Using it's command line interface with Powershell Actions (https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Integration/Action_PSExecutor) You should be able to create OCR layers.
Inside powershell script:
1. Use API/SQL to get attachment.
2. Pass it to OCRmyPDF.
3. Upload OCR'ed version of attachment back to Webcon - with API.
