Question: I downloaded an evaluation version of Maestro Recognition Server to try the OCR scan feature.  I am trying to scan a single printed document into an electronic file, but I cannot figure out how to do it.  Please let me know if Maestro Recognition Server will allow me to do that, or if not what product do I need?

Answer: Thank you for contacting CVISION Technologies. Maestro is a tool that allows users to take any of TIFF, PDF, JPEG, BMP, GIF, and PNG files and convert them to searchable PDFs. This tool allows you to OCR your files but it is not something that allows you to actually scan them.

If you would like to download Maestro again, I have attached the link below:

Question: We are scanning our paper with the output file being a TIFF, we would like to take the TIFF documents and convert them to searchable PDFs. Do you provide a solution to convert scanned documents into searchable PDF files?

Answer: Yes, we have two products that will convert your captured documents into searchable PDFs.
There is PdfCompressor, which in addition to creating searchable PDFs with OCR, also compresses scanned documents to a fraction of their size. In addition to PdfCompressor, we have Maestro which produces searchable PDFs with our super-accurate OCR.

We offer a free trial of both of these software products; I have attached the link below:

Question: How does the TXT file have to be formed within PdfCompressor? Does it need the dictionary words separated on a single line?

Answer: A text dictionary doesn’t have any format. It can be a plain text file. Dictionary words don’t need to be separated on a single line. They can be separated by space, and each dictionary word shouldn’t have more than 64 letters.

Question: How can I learn more about document extraction?

Answer: We have a resource library on our site discussing that topic:
