Question:
How do I make my PDF files searchable? If the file that I am working with is not initially text-searchable, is there anything I can do to change that, or do I have to work with it as is?
Answer:
You can definitely change existing PDF files to make them text-searchable. You can do this with the help of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software that recognizes text characters even within files that the computer reads as images. OCR software can go through a document and extract relevant text, so that you don’t need to retype it. CVISION’s Maestro Recognition Server is a professional quality, server-based OCR tool that can process large volumes of documents quickly and accurately.
