Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the plain OCR tool?⌄
The plain OCR tool gives you the recognized text as a .txt file. This tool keeps the original page images exactly as they look and adds an invisible text layer underneath — the result is still a PDF that looks like the original, but you can now select, copy and search its text.
Will the pages look any different?⌄
No — the visible page images are untouched. Only an invisible, searchable text layer is added underneath them.
What languages are supported, and how many pages?⌄
Simplified and Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, German, Russian and Portuguese, up to 20 pages per file. Choose a combined option like “中文 + English” for mixed-language documents.
