What is optical character recognition?
Optical character recognition (“OCR”) is the process of converting graphical images of text into searchable text files. The full version of Adobe Acrobat permits you to OCR documents using the Adobe Acrobat Capture plug-in. The Capture plug-in was included in Adobe Acrobat 4 and can be downloaded for Adobe Acrobat 5. See the Adobe Acrobat Guide related to Converting Scanned Documents to “pdf.” However, when using the Digital Office Pro System, OCR is not routinely performed on each document and is not required.
