Instructions

Please note that the Tesseract OCR engine requires images at a resolution of 200 dpi or greater and as such it is not suited for reading PC screen shots which are only about 72dpi although we have made some enhancements in V2.3 which will produce better accuracy from low quality image sources. For best results scan at 300 dpi greyscale.
Scanned PDF's

The PDF open button can open and render scanned PDF (Adobe Acrobat Documents) but is not designed to open complicated PDF's that contain text and images, after all there should be no need to OCR these PDF's as they contain text anyway and you can just select the text within Adobe reader.

The OCR PDF rendering in FreeOCR does not need any 3rd party software installed like Ghostscript or Adobe Acrobat to function and works only with PDF spec v1.6 documents.
