Professional Insights: Deep Dive into OCR PDF
Scanned PDFs are essentially just a series of images, meaning you can't search for words or copy text from them. Our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool changes that. By analyzing the shapes of characters on every page, it creates a searchable text layer that sits perfectly atop the original images. This allows you to use Ctrl+F to find information and copy-paste text just like a native digital document, significantly improving the utility of your archived scans.
