Types of PDF documents
There are three different types of PDF documents. Documents that only contain the images of
pages are not searchable, and the text they contain cannot be edited. Documents that also contain
a text layer are searchable, and text contained in these documents can be copied.
Regular PDF documents
Regular PDF documents are created when you convert documents in editable formats into the PDF
format. They contain a text layer and illustrations. The size of such PDF files is comparatively smal l,
they are searchable, and their text can be selected, deleted, or modified just like text in other
editable formats, such as Microsoft Word.
Searchable PDF documents
Searchable PDF documents consist of the images of pages with a text layer placed under neath.
Such PDF files are almost indistinguishable from the original documents and are fully searchable.
Text in searchable PDF documents can be selected, copied, or marked up, but not modified.
