How to Make a Scanned PDF Searchable (OCR in Hindi and English)
A scanned PDF is just pictures of pages, so you cannot search or copy it. OCR reads the pictures and adds real text.
Step by step
Open Recognize text (OCR), choose your scanned PDF or images, and pick the language. Download the searchable PDF.
Choosing the language
Pick the language the document is written in. For mixed documents, choose the main language first.
After OCR
You can search the PDF, copy text, or convert it with PDF to Word. Use Edit PDF to change the text.
Common questions
Which languages are supported?
English, Hindi and nine other Indian languages.
Does OCR work offline?
Yes, once the language data has been saved on your device.
