Did you know that any scanned document can be used for OCR?
If you have Adobe Acrobat Professional, you may use it.
OCR is the process that converts an image of text into a machine-readable text format. For example, if you scan a form or a receipt, your computer saves the scan as an image file. You cannot use a text editor to edit, search, or count the words in the image file.
By running the OCR Text Recognition, it may converts scanned images of text (such as those in a PDF) into machine-readable text.
Benefits of OCR PDFs:
- Searchability: You can search for specific words or phrases within the PDF.
- Editable Text: Once OCR is performed, the text can be copied, edited, or extracted.
- Accessibility: OCR makes the content accessible for screen readers, which helps people with visual impairments.
