How do you convert the PDF; using Acrobat, or the ExportPDF service?

In both cases you need to perform character recognition (OCR) in order to get an editable output.

When you scan something, the result is an image, no editable text. This is why text inside an image must be converted into real text; using OCR (Optical Character Recognition).

The way to do that is different when using Acrobat or ExportPDF; that's why I'm asking.
