Step 1

Load your PDF file.

***

Step 2

Select your OCR Method.

  • All Inline: The app will attempt to convert all data (pictures and text) into text in the same position as the original PDF file. If a picture has no text on it, it will show up as a blank section.

  • Text Images: The app will try to guess which images contain text to perform OCR on. Images deemed to have no text will simply be copied to Word like any other picture/graphic.

  • Whole Document: This option is similar to the "All Inline" option, but offers another method if the "All Inline" conversion does not work well.
