    Hi ronzo44,

    It certainly does! OCR is enabled by default, and you can choose from a handful of languages for text recognition. (When you convert from within Reader, you can disable OCR if necessary.)


    Please let us know if you need further assistance.


    Best,

    The reason why I asked whether Export PDF enables OCR is because the following Adobe webpage indicates that it does NOT.

    Hi ronzo44,

    You're right, it does say that! Thanks for pointing that out. The only difference between the ExportPDF-only subscription and Adobe PDF Pack (which includes ExportPDF), is that the latter lets you also convert to PowerPoint. But, OCR *is* available whichever route you choose.

    I'll pass your comment along to the powers that be to get that page updated.

    Best,

    Sara
