OCR and change/delete Text. Not possible with this version?

Post by Dom »

Hello!

We recently acquired PDF Xchange Editor for our company. When i scan Documents i get a PDF where i cannot modify the Text, even after i ran OCR on the document.

Is this not possible with this version? Did i buy then wrong product? :?

Hello Dom,

Welcome to our Forum.

Only the Enhanced OCR tool can make editable PDFs from scanned documents.

However, the Enhanced OCR tool requires a license for PDF Editor Plus.

What product do you own?
