pdfOCR

Produced by iText

We are proud to introduce a new iText 7 add-on, iText pdfOCR, which provides Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality to convert printed text in scanned documents and images into a fully searchable PDF/A-3u compliant format (PDF version 1.7) and make accessing those texts easier and faster. The iText pdfOCR add-on is built on the Tesseract 4 OCR engine technology, and like Tesseract, is open-source (Java and .NET GitHub repositories). Tesseract supports over 100 languages, and is considered to be the most popular and accurate open source OCR engine.
