OCR: The Technology Behind Scanned PDF Conversion

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) identifies text within images and converts it into machine-readable, editable content.

Scanned PDFs are essentially images-you can't select or edit the text without OCR technology. This is particularly challenging when you need to update old contracts, digitize paper archives, or reuse content from printed materials.

iMZi PDF uses advanced OCR to accurately detect text, maintain paragraph structure, and preserve layout even from low-quality scans.
