PDF Output Style

Determines the type of PDF to produce. All options require an input resolution of 72 dpi or higher

(recommended). All formats apply OCR and font and page recognition to the text images and convert them to normal text.

• Searchable Image Ensures that text is searchable and selectable. This option keeps the original image, deskews it as

needed, and places an invisible text layer over it. The selection for Downsample Images in this same dialog box

determines whether the image is downsampled and to what extent.

• Searchable Image (Exact) Ensures that text is searchable and selectable. This option keeps the original image and

places an invisible text layer over it. Recommended for cases requiring maximum fidelity to the original image.

• ClearScan Converts the fonts in the document to custom fonts that closely approximate the original. These fonts

preserve the page background using a low-resolution copy. To be able to edit text in PDFs created using ClearScan,

replace the custom fonts with fonts that you have on your computer. For more information, see

“Replace custom fonts

with local fonts” on page 285.

Downsample Images Decreases the number of pixels in color, grayscale, and monochrome images after OCR is

complete. Choose the degree of downsampling to apply. Higher-numbered options do less downsampling, producing

higher-resolution PDFs.
