OCR in a PDF means Optical Character Recognition, a process that detects text inside scanned pages or image-based documents. After OCR is applied, the PDF can be searched, copied, indexed, and organized more easily. This is especially useful for contracts, invoices, tax forms, insurance claims, patient records, and compliance files that were originally scanned as images.
