Hi,
I am now using processanddownload method to convert full text searchable pdf to text using AbbyyOCR.
Kindly let me know if there is a way in abbyy to convert the full text searchable PDF to text without doing OCR
Many thanks in advance!

Hi
In one of your other posts I saw you are using Python,
if so, you do not explicitly need to use ABBYY to convert a searchable PDF to Text.
Take a look at the PyPDF-library (open source, free to use commercially also)
https://pypi.org/project/pyPdf/
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34837707/extracting-text-from-a-pdf-file-using-python
http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/tag/pypdf/
Or at PDFMiner (also opensource)
https://github.com/euske/pdfminer
https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six
I am also using Python with both ABBYY and PDFMiner,
ABBYY Finereader for PDFs that need OCR, PDFMiner for PDFs that do not need OCR.
Best regards
