IsPdfWithTextualContentFromStream Method of Engine Object

This method finds out if any of the pages of PDF file added from stream contain text layer. If you need to convert multiple PDF files to searchable PDF, you can check for text layer, and simply copy the whole file if it contains text layer. However, note that the text layer can contain additional or irrelevant text, in which case it's still necessary to perform recognition if you need completely adequate text rendering of the document.
