OCR — Make Scanned PDFs Searchable
Scanned PDFs are basically images — you can't select or search their text. The OCR tool recognizes text in those scans and adds an invisible text layer on top.
After processing, your PDF looks the same but you can now search for words, copy text, and even extract content. Essential for digitized archives, scanned receipts, or any image-based document you need to work with.
