OCR Results Are Not Satisfactory
When you create "text-searchable PDF/XPS/OOXML" files, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) may not be properly
processed. This may be because the settings on the machine, or the language, character type or format of the original
document are not appropriate for OCR processing.
◼
Checking the Machine Settings and Supported Languages
You can improve OCR processing by customizing the machine settings regarding character recognition according to
the originals, or by using suitable character types or fonts in the originals so that the machine can recognize the
characters.
