How to Convert Scanned PDF

With pdfFiller you can add text, dates and checkmarks to scanned PDF documents and convert them to Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats. To get started, upload a form to your account. Any PDF document is instantly editable in pdfFiller. In the main toolbar, select the ‘Text’, ‘Date’, ‘Cross’, ‘Check’ or ‘Circle’ button and click where you’d like to place text, dates or checkmarks.

To change the position of your text, date or checkmark, click the arrow icon in the mini toolbar above. While holding down the mouse button, drag the content where you’d like to place it. Change its size by using the tree icons above or selecting from the drop-down list in the formatting toolbar. You can underline, italicize or make your text bold.

You can also change the font type and text color by choosing them from their respective drop-down lists in the formatting toolbar.

After you’ve finished editing your document, click on the orange ‘Done’ button at the right top corner of the screen.

A page offering you to save your document will appear. To convert a scanned PDF to another format, navigate to the ‘Export’ tab and select ‘Save As Word’.

Next, select the format you want to convert a scanned PDF to, place it where you want to save it and press the orange ‘Save As’ button.

You can also convert a PDF scan directly from your documents. To do this, select the necessary document in the ‘My Documents’ folder and click the ‘Save As’ button in the menu on the right. Then, the procedure will be the same.

IM IN THE WORST PREDICAMENT AND CANT AFFORD LEGAL HELP. THE ONLY CALMING FACTOR IS FINDING WHAT I NEED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY EVEN HARD TO FIND BRIEFS AND CASES OF SIMILAR NATURE. ALSO IVE LEARNED QUITE OF FEW THINGS WHILE SEARCHING THAT CAUGHT MY EYE, A PLETHERA OF KNOWLEDGE. I THANK YOU, YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE COMFORT IT HAS BROUGHT AND THE FEELING IVE GOTTEN BY DOING THINGS ON MY OWN. MANY PRAISES IN FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

For pdfFiller’s FAQs

Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
To start, Click on Choose File to select your PDF file. Under Options, Choose the Language of the PDF document. Click on Start which will upload your file and start the OCR process. Start button becomes Download button when the process is finished. Click on Download to start downloading the resulting PDF to your device.
Whatever the reason, the easiest way to create non-searchable PDF files is to use the PDF Image Only file save option with Win2PDF. This will save all text in the document being printed as an image, so that it can't be searched or indexed by search engines.
PDF is a universal format that can contain different types of information. A PDF file can contain graphics, text, or both. A searchable PDF, by contrast, contains actual text that machines can read, rather than an image of the text.
