Convert Scanned PDFs to Searchable and Editable PDFs with 3 Layouts Using OCR

UPDF offers customers the best OCR (what is OCR) quality with 3 output layouts to fulfill different needs. It allows you to extract textual information from an image, edit scanned PDFs, and make PDFs searchable.

Text and pictures only

This form of layout in OCR provides the option of converting text and pictures to searchable and editable content. While the file is smaller in size, there is no transparent image layer present that keeps the formatting intact. Thus, the converted file can be different from the original one.

Text over the page image

In this layout format, the illustrations and images of the PDF file will remain intact as a layer under the text of the document. While the text can be edited and searched, this layout format maintains the original formatting of the document. How to edit a scanned PDF >>

Text under the page image

For this OCR layout, the formatting of the document is maintained by putting up a layer above the text of the document. With this option, the text of the converted PDF can be searched; however, it cannot be edited.

The Opposite Mode - Converting Searchable PDFs into Image-only PDFs

To make your PDF non-searchable and non-editable, UPDF helps you turn it into an image-only PDF. With the advanced MRC-based image compression algorithm, change the PDF to an image-only doc, while decreasing the file size without tampering the quality.
