Choose MRC PDF to generate a new PDF from the current one. The program examines the input PDF to determine which pages have a usable text layer. These pages are passed unchanged to the new PDF. MRC compression is applied only to image-only pages that are detected. The topic Image Compression tells you in which cases MRC compression is likely to be effective. Settings in the Save As dialog box let you choose a compression level.
-
Choose Searchable PDF to generate a new PDF from the current one. The program examines the input PDF to determine which pages have a usable text layer. These pages are passed unchanged to the new PDF. OCR is run on image-only pages that are detected to create a text layer for those pages. Settings in the Save As dialog box let you choose an OCR language.
-
Choose Unicode Text to extract the text from the current PDF and save it to a plain text file that can be read by NotePad, WordPad or a text editor. All graphics and formatting are dropped. OCR is not used for this extraction, so image-only pages yield no result.
Note
There is also a Convert Area button. First choose the Select Area tool to define a part of a page, and then choose Convert Area from the Tools menu or the drop-down list. Choose a destination in the Save As dialog box that appears. Conversion is done with current settings for the chosen target.
