Description

Scanned PDF files can gain a searchable text layer through OCR while preserving the original page image. It is useful for archiving paperwork, making scans searchable, and improving document workflows.

OCR can misread text, especially with low-quality scans, handwriting, tables, or unusual languages. Users should verify important documents before relying on search results or extracted text.
