A searchable PDF is a scanned image of the paper documents with the text portions converted and stored in a ‘text layer’. The text layer is generated through an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) process. This allows the users to query the text layer for matching text patterns. If a pattern is found, the image corresponding to the found pattern is displayed and the document can be read in that context.

The new website launched by Plustek can be found at http://www.searchable-pdf.com

Plustek Technology Inc. is a manufacturer of consumer, prosumer, professional and office imaging devices including portable scanners, sheetfed/flatbed scanners, wide-format scanners and IP surveillance equipment.

The document consolidation and archival process is streamlined with the use of I.R.I.S. technology, allowing fully-compliant, easily-archived PDF/A documents creation from disparate documents and images. It supports multi-language and can be used on documents written in English, German, French, and Spanish.

Along with the implementation of all-new OCR technology, the release inhabits all the features of Nitro Pro like creating, converting, editing, combining, securing, form-filling, reviewing and saving industry-standard PDF files.

Gina O’Reilly, Nitro’s SVP, Sales & Marketing said “As the single most requested feature, by an overwhelming majority, from our users, it was never a question of whether or not we add OCR to our feature set – simply, “how quickly can we build it?”. He also added “Our flagship product, Nitro Pro, has been firmly established as an incredibly persuasive, fully-featured offering within the desktop PDF software marketplace, so the addition of OCR further cements its status as the leading PDF solution for enterprise while reinforcing our commitment to meeting the needs of our users.”
