How can you tell if OCR has been performed?

When you convert a PDF file to Word or Excel format, ExportPDF performs optical character recognition (OCR) on the PDF to convert image text to searchable/editable text. If  the PDF you're converting was created from a scanned document, OCR is necessary to convert the image text in that document to rendered text that you can select and edit in Word or Excel.

How do you know if your document has a OCR

    If you can select and edit text in the converted document, then text recognition has been performed.
