Question:
What are the advantages to using OCR software on PDF files, and what OCR software for PDFs does CVISION have?
Answer:
A PDF file that has not been OCRd does not contain any text that is recognizable by computers, even though it contains text that you can read. The problem with this is that without machine-editable text, you can’t search you PDF files. Luckily, there is a solution: OCR software. PDF files can be processed by OCR software, which extracts the text and converts it to a machine-editable format. It then creates an invisible text overlay that lines up with the visible text in the document, enabling you to use your PDF reader’s search bar to locate specific information. Our OCR software for PDF files is called Maestro Recognition Server; we provide a free trial so that you can explore its features before making a purchase.
