Text-Based vs Scanned PDFs: What to Expect
Text-Based PDFs
If your PDF was originally created in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any other text editor, the conversion is near-perfect. All text, headings, tables, and most formatting will transfer accurately to the Word document.
Scanned PDFs (Image-Based PDFs)
Documents scanned with a phone camera or flatbed scanner are actually images inside a PDF. Our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine reads the text from the image — conversion accuracy depends on the clarity of the scan. Use bright lighting and a steady hand when scanning with your phone for best results.
