Searchable PDF Function

When converting scanned original data to PDF format, paste transparent text data into a PDF file, then create a searchable PDF file. This function automatically creates text information from scanned images using OCR character recognition technology.

The searchable PDF function supports multiple languages. When creating a searchable PDF file, select the language for the original to perform OCR processing properly. To enhance the accuracy of OCR processing, the page orientation is adjusted automatically.

The following shows the original text sizes that can be recognized by this machine.

  • Japanese: 12 pt to 142 pt

  • European and American languages: 9 pt to 142 pt
