While PDF files are flexible and portable, unfortunately they are not always searchable. In fact, a very common request is for the ability to parse text from PDFs. Luckily, LEADTOOLS OCR Engine makes extracting searchable text from PDF files a breeze. LEAD’s AI-enhanced engine can accept any PDF (searchable or not) and extract the text from it, using OCR where necessary. After extraction LEADTOOLS can save that information to a text file, a searchable PDF file, or any of our other 150+ supported document formats.

There are many reasons why you might want to convert to or from a PDF document. Perhaps you need to make a PDF editable or text searchable. Or maybe you would prefer a PDF to be a DOC or DOCX file, but you don't want to copy/paste the text or lose the original formatting. You might even need to batch convert a ton of PDFs in the same way. Good news! The LEADTOOLS Document Converter SDK is an easy to integrate tool able to handle all of your document and image conversion needs.

Whatever your image processing needs are, LEADTOOLS has a world-leading SDK to do all the heavy lifting. In previous posts we’ve discussed viewing images, saving images, combining images into a single file, and splitting a file into multiple images. LEADTOOLS also makes it possible to draw and edit annotations and markup objects on images.
