How can I extract text from a PDF file without printed/image text results in Azure Document Intelligence?

Question

How can I extract text from a PDF file without printed/image text results?

I extracted PDF files by using Document Intelligence, the prebuilt-layout model. My PDF file includes text and background images. The results are really good except for some files that contain printed/image text in the background image because it also extracted text from the background and I don't need text from the background.

Hi @ekkarat adsawinnawanawa,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

You can use Custom model to extract text from a PDF file without printed/image text results. Custom models are trained to extract distinct data from forms and documents, specific to your use cases.

Please look into the official documentations of custom model:

Hope this helps. Thank you.
