Comments

Very excellent tool.

OCR tools are essential for anyone dealing with scanned documents. What languages does SearchAblePDF support? Also curious about the accuracy rate on handwritten text vs printed documents - that's usually where OCR tools differ the most. Does it preserve the original formatting and layout after conversion?
