If the text layer in a page isproblematic (corrupted, encoding problems, etc.), FineReader applies OCR to convert thewhole page rather than extracting the text layer. This allows for the most accurate resultswhen converting digitally-created PDFs into editable formats. Detecting text in fields and annotationsWhen converting an interactive PDF form or a PDF with annotations into an editable format, FineReader ensures that the text from fields and certain kinds of annotations (such as a TextBox or Typewriter) is accurately and reliably extracted.
