Thanks @prashantguleria , sorry for the delay. Which sample was this for? If you are still needing an OCR sample, we added one recently: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/cognitive-services-REST-api-samples/blob/master/nodejs/Vision/RecognizeText.js
If you need this in another language, let us know, thanks.

And now, can azure output a searchable pdf? (@wiazur your link is dead)

Hi @WiliTest, I'm not with Microsoft anymore, but here's the OCR sample to replace the dead link. I do believe OCR has that ability to print to PDF, but I'd check with the Cognitive Services Azure support team to double check.

I would like to popup this issue because none of the samples produce either a searchable PDF or a hOCR result. We still want a solution to get either of them.
