One of the most used features within ABBYY OCR SDKs is the ability to create searchable PDFs from scanned documents . ABBYY SDKs include the reature Searchable PDF Export since 2004 - with continous enhancements.
PDF Export Overview
Different Text/Image Options
-
Image only = PDF is not searchable
-
Text only = PDF is searchable, text will be positioned where it was on the original. Detected images are added as well.
-
Text under image/Text over image: The image will be placed on top or below the recognized text => the PDF is searchable
Example of the user interface in ABBYY FineReader Server (the SDKs offer the same features via Export API):
-
Metadata export - Via the API, it is possible to add/extend the meta data within the PDF. ABBYY FineReader Engine enables metadata exporting (bookmarks, hyperlinks, cross-references, etc.).
-
Output in Tagged PDF format – tagged PDF can be “re-flowed” to fit different page or screen sizes. Ideal for use with smartphones or screen readers typically used by visually impaired users.
-
Page size - Ability to set the size for all pages of an output file during PDF conversion.
-
Links in PDF files – Re-creates hyperlinks within a PDF file.
-
PDF/A export – Conversion to PDF/A format which is recommended as a standard for long-term preservation of page-oriented documents. more on PDF/A
-
CJK to PDF export – Enables conversion of documents in Chinese (both simplified and traditional), Japanese and Korean into PDF format.
- PDF(/A) MRC compression – Compressed PDF (PDF/A) files have a significantly reduced size with the original quality preserved. more on MRC
- PDF security and encryption support:
FineReader Engine supports a variety of PDF security settings, increasing its applicability for government agencies and other organizations demanding high security.
