Part 2. How Do I Convert Multiple PDFs/a Multi-page PDF to Multiple JPG Images?

Part 3. Bonus: How to Convert a Searchable PDF to an Image-only PDF?

In certain situations, users may want to make a PDF non-editable and non-searchable, ensuring that its content is preserved in a fixed format. This can be useful for securing sensitive information, sharing finalized documents, or archiving records. Converting a searchable PDF to an image-only PDF is an effective way to achieve this. Instead of converting the document into individual image files like JPGs, you can retain the PDF format while embedding the pages as images, making the document uneditable and unsearchable.

UPDF offers a robust tool to convert your searchable PDFs into image-only PDFs easily. This process leverages Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, but instead of making the text searchable, it renders the document as a static image.

Steps to Convert a Searchable PDF to an Image-only PDF:

Step 1. Install OCR Tool: If you haven't already, install the OCR tool in UPDF. Once installed, close the installation window and navigate to the OCR tool in the UPDF interface.

Step 2. Access OCR Tool: Click on the OCR option, and a new window will appear offering you two different Document Types: "Searchable PDF" and "Image-only PDF."

Step 3. Select Image-only PDF: Choose the "Image-only PDF" option. This selection will convert your searchable and editable PDF into a static, image-based PDF that cannot be searched or edited.

Step 4. Set Image Quality: Under the "Keep Pictures" section, you can adjust the image quality. Options include "Low," "Balanced," or "High," depending on your needs for clarity and file size.

Step 5. Compress Images (Optional): If you want to reduce the file size, you can opt to compress images using MRC (Mixed Raster Content) compression.

Step 6. Specify Page Range: Choose the page range you wish to convert, whether it’s the entire document or specific pages.

Step 7. Perform OCR: Click on "Perform OCR" to start the conversion process. Select a folder to save your new image-only PDF, and UPDF will generate the file accordingly.
