Image-only PDF Files
PDF Converter 3.0 with its integrated OCR capability allows the convertion of
image-only PDF files or PDF files that have a mixture of image-only and text-
layer pages, into a selected target application.
An icon in the top-right corner of the PDF Converter Assistant Preview panel
informs you about each page as it is displayed:
A text layer was detected for this page.
This page is image-only.
Navigate through all pages in the document. If you see both icons, or if the
image-only icon displays for all pages, then use the Document Options panel to
instruct the program how to handle image-only pages.
Non-standard Encoding
Most PDF files use standard character encoding, but some use an internal file-
specific solution.
Select the Recognize non-standard encoded pages checkbox in the Document
Options panel to extract text using the built-in Optical Character Recognition
(OCR).
