How to use PDF ocr unix to make PDF searchable

Asked By Jeo Tolbert 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/19/2012

I want to use PDF OCR Unix in order to make the text on my PDF searchable even if it contains in the image. The description says it is a simple drag and drop application. I am using MAC and I couldn’t find my way to use this application. Can you help me convert my PDFs into searchable PDF files.

How to use PDF ocr unix to make PDF searchable

Hello Jeo Tolbert,

If the PDF OCR Unix contains in the image and not searchable we have to make the text on PDF searchable.

The way of converting PDF OCR Unix into searchable PDF files are described in the following links.

If you follow the above link’s step you will get desired result.

Thanks.
