Using PDF OCR X

PDF OCR X is a very simple application. There is only one dialog box that allows you to choose your input and output settings. This dialog appears after you drag a PDF on the PDF OCR X icon to be converted:

About these options:

• Language: The language that the source document is in. Some languages include special characters and it helps PDF OCR X to know what the language of your source document is for maximum accuracy. Download additional language packs for PDF OCR X here.
• Layout: If your document is formatted in a single column with flowing text, then you should select the "Single Column" layout option as it is faster than the multi-column option. If, however, your document is formatted in multiple columns or sections, you should select the "Multi-Column" option, as this will instruct PDF OCR X to try to guess the structure of the document and detect where columns begin and end.
• Text Wrap:
  • Soft wrap: Assume that the text is meant to flow from one line to the next in most cases.
  • Hard wrap: Forcefully add line breaks at the end of each line, even if it may occur mid-sentence.
