If you have a scanned PDF (a document that is made of images), you can easily edit your document with OCR.
What is OCR? OCR stands for optical character recognition in Adobe Acrobat. Its purpose is to extract text and convert scanned documents into editable, searchable PDF files instantly. With OCR, Adobe Acrobat can recognize text and its formatting. Your new PDF will match your original printout thanks to automatic custom font generation.
How do I edit scanned documents?
1. Open a PDF file containing a scanned image in Acrobat for Mac or PC.
2. Click on the “Edit PDF” tool in the right pane. Acrobat automatically applies optical character recognition (OCR) to your document and converts it to a fully editable copy of your PDF.
3. Click the text element you wish to edit and start typing. New text matches the look of the original fonts in your scanned image.
4. Choose “File” > “Save As” and type a new name for your editable document.
Once you have your editable PDF ready, you can upload it to DCatalog's platform and turn it into a digital flipbook. For more information, please check out this

Once you have uploaded your PDF, you can run the
Link Management on DCatalog's platform to link the document.
