6.9.8 Searchable PDF

When the file format is PDF, the scanned data can be converted to a searchable PDF by
automatically recognizing character strings contained in the document.
ATTENTION
Conversion to searchable PDF may take extra time.
The scanner may fail to correctly recognize the following kinds of documents (characters) as
text. However, by changing the color mode and/or improving the image quality for scanning,
such documents may be successfully recognized.
Handwritten documents
Documents including smaller characters and scanned in low quality
Skewed documents
Documents including texts written in italic characters
Superscript/subscript letters and complex mathematical formulas
Characters are written on an unevenly-colored or patterned background
Example: Shaded characters
Documents containing a lot of characters to which effects are applied
Example: Characters to which effects such as Shadow and Outline are applied
Documents with a complex layout and documents with image noise (uneven color, paper
overlap, smudges) may take longer for text recognition to process.
