Do you often face such frustrations while using OCR tools? After accurately recognizing the text within an image, you're left with the tedious task of manually copying and pasting it into a new document. And what about those instances when the tool successfully extracts the entire scanned document, only to present it to you as plain text, completely stripping away its original layout?

PDF Reader Pro has collected feedback from users and got significant enhancements, taking it to the next level of performance. Let's explore the new update.

• Accurately recognize every detail and keep the layout

PDF Reader Pro OCR engine allows you to extract the text and image elements in a scanned document with high accuracy while keeping the same visual layout you intended, helping you create a new editable and searchable PDF.

• Two Output Layout

2. Text under the page image: In this mode, the page image is retained, while the recognized text is placed into an invisible layer underneath the image. Visually, this document is nearly identical to the original. For those who want to copy or search text within a PDF, this mode is a better option.

• Multiple Recognition Languages

PDF Reader Pro's OCR engine provides you with multiple page recognition modes, such as recognizing all pages, recognizing odd/even pages, and customizing pages.

How OCR Function Makes Work Easier

OCR function enables efficient and professional workflows, allowing users to convert piles of hardcopy documents into searchable and editable digital formats. Businesses can streamline document management, enhance retrieval speed, and reduce physical storage space. 

For those in the finance industry, OCR automates data extraction from invoices, receipts, and financial statements, streamlining expense tracking, facilitating audit processes, and enhancing financial data analysis. 

As for image-based PDFs, such as scanned reports or brochures, OCR allows converting them into editable formats like Word, Excel, or PPT. If your company's outdated product manuals need an update, then the OCR tool is undoubtedly the best choice. By scanning the hardcopy documents and utilizing the OCR tool, you can quickly transform them into editable PDFs, thereby efficiently updating the information.

In short, OCR tools empower businesses with advanced text recognition capabilities, fueling productivity, accuracy, and effective document management practices.

Convert PDF to Word with Flowing Text

PDF documents identify and fix the position of each text box, making them a highly stable document format. However, when you need to make extensive modifications to the overall content of the document, fixed-position text boxes can become a stumbling block. They do not automatically wrap or paginate, so when you add content to one text box, it's highly likely to overlap with the content of the next text box, creating a messy situation. That why PDF Reader Pro launched flowing text mode during the conversation.

When you convert a PDF to Word using PDF Reader Pro, we provide you with two layout options to choose from: Flowing Text and Maintain Page Layout. In Flowing Text mode, you'll get an original Word document that allows for unrestricted editing and adaptive text. Flowing text dynamically adjusts to the page size and boundaries, automatically paginating or wrapping as needed. No more rigidly confined text boxes. This flexibility and convenience empower you to freely edit and format your Word document with ease.
