    Hi,

    With the desktop PDF24 creator suite, I can create a PDF from images, and I can then OCR the PDF.

    But that's two steps making it unwieldly.

    Is there any way to create a PDF from images, and do OCR before or while saving it. I've seen various options for saving the PDF, but couldn't see any option to save it with OCR text included.

    Hello,

    an option to recognize text while saving does not exist yet, it is on our to-do list. Text recognition is always done by the OCR tool, but you don't need to save the PDF in between:

    • Several images in one PDF: In the PDF24 Toolbox use Images to PDF. When the result is ready, click Continue and then PDF OCR. The PDF opens directly in the OCR tool, there you click Start and then Save files.
    • Each image as its own PDF: Open PDF OCR, click Add files > From filesystem and select the images directly. The OCR tool converts them to PDF and recognizes the text in one go.
    • Automatically: The OCR tool has a Hot folder in its settings. While the OCR tool is open, images placed in this folder are recognized and saved as PDF with text automatically.

    Online, OCR also accepts images directly: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/ocr-pdf
