Convert unsearchable PDF to searchable PDF
April 3rd, 2007 by Chris
Question: The output of my scanner is an unsearchable PDF. Considering it is not text-searchable, it is not optimal for me to use. How can I convert my PDF into a searchable PDF?
Answer: It seems like you are looking for OCR, or optical character recognition. The output of a scanner is an image; OCR can make the image searchable by identifying, and recognizing all of the printed characters on the documents. PdfCompressor offers OCR capabilities, it can convert your scanned documents into searchable PDFs.
We do offer a free trial, if you are interested:
