Question

OCR Feature on Image & Text Files

How does one use this feature for each separate area? Plus, I have noticed that the 'Image Searchable' lowers the quality sufficiently on Image-Text Documents. Can you see this for yourself? And there is the 'Clear Scan' option that does not.

Hi,

OCR for each separate area is not supported yet.

For the second point,

Searchable Image ensures that text is searchable and selectable. This option keeps the original image, deskews it as needed, and places an invisible text layer over it. Downsample Images in this same dialog box determines whether the image is downsampled and to what extent.

Editable Text & Images synthesizes a new custom font that closely approximates the original, and preserves the page background using a low-resolution copy.

Downsample To decreases the number of pixels in color, grayscale, and monochrome images after OCR is complete. Choose the degree of downsampling to apply. Higher-numbered options do less downsampling, producing higher-resolution PDFs.

For other detials, Kindly provide some information to help us understand and resolve the issue ASAP.
