PDF Image + Searchable Text Conversion

PDF Image + Searchable Text Conversion: (formerly known as PDF plus hidden text) contains a bitmapped image of the original, and a hidden layer of searchable text. The conversion process involves: scanning the hardcopy original, performing OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to capture the text of the document, and distilling the two layers into a PDF searchable image file. Though text can be searched, hyperlinks and bookmarks are not fully functional in this format. As with PDF image only, PDF searchable image files are only as legible as the original. And PDF searchable image files have the largest file size of the three types - this can be a big issue if the PDF document is bound for the Internet.

Pages will be displayed as image resulting in accuracy which is inherently high based on image displayed.

Text resulting from an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process may be “bonded” to the originating image to create a PDF/Searchable Image file. When you search for words or phrases, they will be highlighted in the image. 

This background text allows searchability, but the accuracy is dependent on the quality of your originals and other factors. Based on this background text, you have two options:

 

PDF Image + Text (Raw or uncorrected OCR text)

 

PDF Image + Text (Corrected or proof-read)

For many applications, the raw conversion with uncorrected text is accurate enough. For clients needing higher accuracy rates, SunTec will correct and proofread the OCR output. This process is often vital for documents containing italicized characters and small text, or for poor-quality original documents.

PDF/Searchable Image files may be indexed for full-text retrieval by any search engine capable of indexing PDF files.

Typical applications include: -


    • business records
    • academic journals
    • advertising and promotional materials
    • historical materials and 
    • handwritten materials including color or grayscale images.


PDF/Searchable Image is used globally by governments and businesses for electronic storage and retrieval of:


    • Business Records
    • CD-ROM publishing 
    • Electronic Publishing
    • Manufacturing and design documentation
    • On-line content / Intranet content
    • Records Retention / Legacy Data Conversion
    • Delivery Challans, Shipping notes, and Invoices

We sent a complex PDF conversion job in two languages and the results were impeccable.

We will definitely use SunTec for any future works of this kind.

--Josh Merrow
Barcelona, Spain

Thanks for the great job your company did for us in converting our text document and turning it into a first class .pdf eBook.

Your fast turn around time and efficiency, plus your willingness to make all the changes we requested made our working with you a very pleasurable experience.

Without your expertise in document management we would not have had our project finished in such a timely and superb manner..
