discardDiagonalText

Discard diagonal text when doing text extraction.
[read/write property] discardDiagonalText([out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL *discard) discardDiagonalText([in] VARIANT_BOOL discard)
During text extraction, all text on a page is assigned to one of four rotations (0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees). Normally, text is assigned to the closest rotation value.

If this property is set to true, any text that's not close to one of the 0, 90, 180, or 270 degree axes, is discarded. This is useful to skip watermarks drawn on top of body text, etc.

VB:
viewer.discardDiagonalText = True
extractTextFromPage
