Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is normally used only for input
pages without an accessible text layer or when non-standard character
encoding is detected, but you can require it for any conversion under
Processing Options in the Converter Assistant.
Handling Image-only Pages
Pages without a text layer are a special case for conversion. You can
decide how the program should handle these pages: convert them with
the built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR), transfer them as
images to the target document or skip them. You can require inspection
of the first pages (up to ten) in files you open. Optionally, you can set
conversion to be stopped, if no text-layer pages are detected. If you have

, you can use this to have more control over the
recognition process.
Language Support
PDF Converter supports over 100 languages, including Danish, Dutch,
English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. The program can convert
multi-lingual documents. A full list of supported languages is provided
in online Help. Correct language choice is important for converting
image-only pages and handling non-standard encoding.
