Searchable PDF

Using optical character recognition (OCR), a scanned document image can be turned into a searchable PDF. This enables efficient document management: Instead of looking for a specific file among hundreds of documents in your system, you can do a full-text search for the content to find it instantly.

The visible appearance of the document is preserved, as the original document image is simply overlaid with an invisible text layer. This layer makes the file searchable and also enables highlighting, copying, and pasting. Transferring information from searchable PDFs prevents the errors typically resulting from manual data entry.

The digitization of analog text with OCR software enables process automation and easier access to information. Employees looking for a specific document can enter related search terms to find exactly what they need in seconds, saving time and money.
