How do I make my documents OCR recognizable (optical character recognition or text searchable) PDF format?

There are numerous tools available for converting your documents into text-searchable PDF.

• If you have created the word document, you can convert it very easily as OCR-PDF by saving it as “Save as type = PDF (*.pdf).
• If you are scanning your document to generate the PDF, refer to your scanner's user manual or contact the manufacturer to see if your scanner is equipped with the OCR functionality. If you are not familiar with OCR, please consult your local IT support department to verify the OCR settings for your scanner’s properties.
• You can research downloadable OCR software on the internet or use Adobe to convert the document or visit an office supply store to see if they provide the service that can assist you.
