❷ Languages: Select the language being converted.
❸ Recognition mode: There are 2 options, Searchable text and Editable text.
Here is additional information for these 2 options.
NOTE: Searchable text and Editable text are not the same process. Searchable text cannot be edited.
Searchable text
NOTE: The file contains searchable text that cannot be edited, and the file size may be larger than usual.
This option converts the image to searchable text fields. It will not permit you to edit the text. You can select the text with the Text Select Tool, but the characters cannot be edited. To find specific words or phrases, use the Search Tool to scan the document for searchable text.
Editable text
NOTE: The file contains editable and searchable text and it typically has a smaller file size.
This option converts the image to editable and searchable text fields. The text can be edited, (for more information see this link - How to EDIT a PDF ), but for the best editing results, we recommend Converting to Word especially for large text edits.
