Do they OCR before converting to PDF? Having a PDF that is just a 'picture' isn't very helpful (can't search for text, change text size, etc).

- markprice 15y agoyes, the pricing page on their site says OCR is included free.
- pyre 15y agoThat depends though. Isn't there a way for the PDF page to be an image, but for OCR to produce an index of keywords, so that you are viewing the image, but the index is searchable? This doesn't solve the increase/decrease text size issue (though it does solve the searching issue).
- wmf 15y agoYes, searchable PDF puts the OCRed text behind the image so that it's not visible but is still searchable.
