Hi, I have a PDF file with image text documents. hence I can't search the text. How can I convert it to searchable PDF file? Thanx
You will have to scan it using an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) application and then create a PDF file. -- Don Vancouver, USA <WhiteLen@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1193737890.691267.165820@z9g2000hsf.googlegroups.com... > Hi, > > I have a PDF file with image text documents. hence I can't search the > text.

On Pro its on the Document menu. But what I had a problem doing was editing the OCR's mistakes. I tried the Tools -> Advanced Editing -> TouchUp Text Tool. But I was having problems when the number of scanned characters was greater in the text than the image. So this is on hold for now. Don <www.donwiss.com> (e-mail link at home page bottom).
