How to finish your task
Create a new PDF with an OCR text layer for searching and selection. Add files and review settings. Create the result, check the preview, actual size and limitations, then download a new file.
Practical example
Add a scanned PDF and select its language. Open the result and use Find (Ctrl+F) to check recognized text.
Scope and limitations
Up to 10 selected pages, rebuilt as page images plus OCR text. Forms, signatures and bookmarks are not copied. First use downloads OCR assets; recognition may contain errors.
Files are not uploaded to a server. Outputs are new files, so originals remain unchanged. Review the result before saving.
When is this useful?
Add recognized text to a scan that cannot be searched and test actual terms in the saved PDF.
