OCR
What is OCR?
iPaaS OCR provides a simple way of parsing images and multi-page PDF documents (PDF OCR) and getting the extracted text results returned in Searchable PDF and a JSON format.
A searchable PDF file is a PDF file that includes text that can be searched upon using the standard Adobe Reader “search” functionality. In addition, the text can be selected and copied from PDF.
If user wants to convert scan PDF to searchable PDF, then user can select mapping type as ’OCR’
