Right-click Menu

The right-click menu consolidates frequently used patent-work operations: open in Chrome, open in OS, convert to PDF, OCR, and more.

1. Open

• Open in Chrome
  Opens in a new tab in the PDO browser (file:// URI). The main way to aggregate PDF and Word files in Chrome tabs.
• Open in Windows
  Opens with the default OS app.

2. PDF Conversion (Office → PDF)

• Convert to PDF
• Convert to PDF and open in Chrome

Converts Word/Excel/PowerPoint to PDF, optionally opening in Chrome immediately.

3. OCR (Add Transparent Text)

Adds a text layer to image-based PDFs to make them text-searchable.

• Sub-menu language selection: English / German / French / Spanish.
• A confirmation dialog appears asking whether to overwrite.
• If a text layer is already detected, you are asked whether to proceed with additional OCR.

4. PDF → Text Extraction (HTML Display)

• Extracts text and displays as HTML (sub-menu: Japanese / Japanese+English).

Japanese OCR inserts spaces between characters, making text unsearchable. This option therefore extracts text page by page and displays it as Word-print-layout-style HTML.

5. Send to PDF Rotation / PDF Editing App

• Open in PDF Rotation App
  Launches the PDF Rotation App for the target file without returning to the Main Menu.
• Send to PDF Editing App
  Launches the PDF Editing App for the target file without returning to the Main Menu.

6. Create New File / Folder

Right-click to create the following in the case folder:

• New folder
• New txt file
• New Word file
• New PowerPoint file

7. Word Track-changes Operations

For Word files, create modified versions without opening the file:

• Create tracked-changes text file — reflects changes with blue underline decoration as pseudo track-changes text.
• Create clean version — a clean copy with changes simply accepted.
• Create reverted file — a copy reverting to the pre-edit text.

Each option has a "Create + open in Chrome" variant.

8. Copy / Paste / Delete

• Copy (right-click / Ctrl+C)
  Multi-selection supported. Places files on the file copy clipboard.
• Paste (right-click / Ctrl+V)
  Pastes into the selected folder, or the current directory if no folder is selected.
• Delete (right-click / Del)

Duplicate names are automatically resolved with "(1)", "(2)", etc.
Windows CF_HDROP (Explorer copy → PDO paste) is also supported.
* Cut-and-paste is not supported; use delete + copy instead.

9. OCR Tips

"Add transparent text" is an overwrite operation. Read the confirmation dialog carefully before executing.

If a text layer is detected, you are asked whether to run additional OCR. When in doubt, click "No" to skip.
