How to Convert PDF Image to Text for Editing and Modifying
When a document is scanned, it is usually saved as an image file which can be opened using an image or PDF editor. Sometimes these images contain text, yet the text cannot be edited using regular text processors such as Microsoft Word. OCR is a revolutionary technology that scans documents and translates any text within the image into an editable format. This enables the user to add, edit and delete text on image scans that would otherwise not be editable. Here you can learn how to convert PDF image to text using PDFelement.
