        ' By default, "SearchablePDFMaker" uses one of the standard PDF fonts to apply 
        ' recognized text over the scanned document. Such fonts contain only basic characters 
        ' from ISO-8859-1 charset. 
        ' If you run OCR for one of the languages with characters that are not present in the default
        ' encoding, you should explicitly specify the font that contains the required characters
        ' using ".LabelingFont" property.
        ' If you run the application in Windows with a selected locale that matches OCR language, 
        ' it will be enough to specify the usual font "Arial". But if your app will run in an unknown
        ' environment (for example, in some virtual machine) you will need to install some full Unicode 
        ' font (e.g. "Arial Unicode MS") and then use it with SearchablePDFMaker:
        ' 
        ' searchablePDFMaker.LabelingFont = "Arial Unicode MS"

        ' Set OCR language
