Native vs. Scanned PDFs: What’s the Difference?

Native PDFs allow direct editing, making it easy to add or modify text. In contrast, scanned PDFs require Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert images of text into editable text, which may limit editing capabilities. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective document management and ensuring you choose the right file type for your needs.
