I use my digital camera to take pictures of documents that I want to reference later. OmniPage Pro 18 does a wonderful job of re-creating the documents from the image files. Once again, OmniPage Professional 18 is a just the right tool for the job.

WHY???
They treat all PDF files like they were scanned documents and they destroy information
OmniPage 18 treats PDF files the right way
16
Solving the problem of searchable PDF after scanning
Creating Searchable PDFs
• Scanned PDF documents do not contain text and are not searchable
• An OCR process can be applied to turn a scanned (image) PDF into a
Searchable PDF that contains text behind the image
So what’s the problem?
• Your customers, clients or co-workers may not use Searchable PDF
• After a document is scanned or captured additional text elements can be
added to a PDF including:
– Annotations, Keywords, Bookmarks, Watermarks, Digital Signatures and more
This is where the trouble starts
• When you use OCR to create a Searchable PDF using any popular OCR
program bad things happen to new text elements
– Annotations, keywords and other elements are completely lost
– Other elements like watermarks or layers are permanently flattened into the
document and can destroy underlying text
17
The solution to truly Searchable PDF is OmniPage 18
eDiscovery Assistant for searchable PDF
• An intelligent way to create optimal Searchable PDF files without damaging or
removing existing text or data
Why is it called eDiscovery? (also called electronic discovery)
• Refers to any process in which electronic data is sought, located, secured, and
searched
• This process is applicable to a large number of document intensive vertical
industries
– eDiscovery is a $2 billion dollar industry within the Legal vertical
– Financial, Insurance, Healthcare, Education, Manufacturing, Technology all
need to search PDF files

eDiscovery- Safely making PDF files searchable
The eDiscovery is a godsend! I have a lot of PDFs of books that I have scanned over the years and to have the ability to perform eDiscovery on books that have existing annotations is wonderful.
David Cote Virginia Beach, VA
Using the eDiscovery Assistant I converted 4 different files and was able to search each with no problem. This is a feature that I have needed for some while.
