How to Make a Scanned PDF Searchable
Learn how OCR turns page images into recognized text and searchable PDF output.
Prepare the source files
Use clear source images and put them in the intended order. Browser tools can convert common image formats into a PDF without requiring a server workflow.
Page size and margins
Choose settings that fit the images without unexpected stretching. Maintaining aspect ratio is usually more important than forcing every image to fill the entire page.
Review before download
Check page orientation, order and readability in the generated PDF.
