Saving Scanned Documents as a Searchable PDF

You can scan a document and save the text in a searchable PDF. In a searchable PDF, text is
recognized using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and then embedded in the scanned original.
Note: The required Epson Scan 2 OCR Component is installed automatically when you install your
scanner software as instructed on the Start Here sheet. If you install your scanner software programs
individually, be sure to also install the components if you want to perform OCR.
