What this PDF tool is for

When a PDF looks like a picture, make the text usable again.

Some PDFs are just scanned page images, which means you cannot search, copy, highlight, or reuse the words inside them. This tool turns those scanned pages into usable text and can also create a searchable PDF copy so the document is easier to find and work with later.
