8 Searchable PDF function
8.1 Overview
Searchable PDF refers to a function that creates a text searchable PDF file by pasting transparent text data
on the area of a document in which characters are recognized through an OCR process.
You can create a searchable PDF file when saving or sending an original in the PDF or compact PDF format
using the scan or User Box function. The searchable PDF function supports multiple languages. When cre-
ating a searchable PDF file, select an appropriate language according to the original for correct OCR
processing. Also, you can improve the accuracy of OCR processing by automatically correcting the page di-
rection.
If you want to manage paper-based documents in electronic format, it will be convenient to use the search-
able PDF function to convert documents into a text-searchable PDF file.
Reference

Precautions when creating searchable PDF files

Depending on the original condition, there may be some problems recognizing the text, the text may become
garbled, or other problems may arise.
Example
- The characters that the MFP does not support will not be correctly recognized.
- If any language different from that used in the original is selected when creating a searchable PDF file,
text will not be correctly recognized.
- If the page direction is not set to be corrected automatically, and the direction of the specified original
does not match the direction of the text, text will not be correctly recognized.
