Multipage Document Creation with OCR

[mike134]

Is there an option or process to create a multiple page document from a scanner and have it OCR before or during the save?

I can create the multiple page document in PDF Creator from a scanner, and the document has to be saved and then reopened in the OCR module.

Is there a better way that I am missing?

PDF24 Desktop version 11.30.1

Thanks - Mike

Hello,

yes, you can scan directly into the OCR tool, so you don't have to save the document first:

1. Open the OCR tool, e.g. in the PDF24 Toolbox with PDF OCR.
2. Click Add files and choose From scanner.
3. In the window Select source, tick Collect files and then click your scanner. With Collect files, all scanned pages are combined into one PDF when the scan is finished.
4. Scan your pages as usual. The scanned document then appears in the file list of the OCR tool.
5. Choose the language and click Start, then Save files.

If your scanner software can save the scans into a folder, the current version 11.31.1 also offers a Hot folder in the OCR tool: while the OCR tool is open, PDF and image files placed in this folder are recognized and saved automatically.

For PDF files that already exist, there is also the online tool: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/ocr-pdf
