OCR
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a software process that enables images of printed
text to be translated into machine-readable text. OCR is most commonly used when
scanning paper documents to create electronic copies, but can also be performed on
existing electronic documents (e.g. PDF or PDF portfolio). With Foxit PhantomPDF, you can
scan paper documents directly to PDF, and run OCR to make the scanned documents
searchable and editable.
OCR Suspects - Foxit PhantomPDF can detect the suspected and mark them in OCR results
and allows you to edit the recognition results to improve the accuracy of OCR results. Click
Suspect Results under the Convert tab, and select First Suspect or All Suspects from
the pull-down menu. If you select First Suspect, the Find OCR Suspects dialog box shows
both the original document text and the OCR text. You can edit text in the OCR text box
directly if needed. If the highlighted text is incorrectly identified, click Not Text. Click Find
Next to find the next suspect or click Accept and Find to accept the suspect and find next.
Optionally, if multiple suspects are not text or can be corrected with the same OCR text,
you can select Suspect Results > All Suspects to open the OCR Suspects dialog box, where
you can select and correct multiple suspect results at once.
Tip: Foxit PhantomPDF provides the Quick OCR command under the Home/Convert tab for
recognizing all pages of a scanned or image-based PDF with the default or previously set
settings in just one click.
