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.
The best way to translate a scanned document PDF accurately and to retain formatting is by using optical character recognition (OCR). OCR will recognize characters in your document and convert them to digital text.
Open PDF. Click “Open File” to open the scanned document to translate. Perform OCR. In case your PDF file is scanned or image-based, you will need to perform OCR. Translate Scanned Document. Now, the scanned PDF file should be editable after performing OCR.
Converting a Scanned PDF. Make sure your scanned document saved as a PDF. Microsoft Word can recognize and convert scanned PDF files into Word documents without requiring any additional software. If your document saved as an image (e.g., a JPG or PNG file), you can use New OCR to convert it instead.
