Add Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to a PDF using the Plustek Book Pavilion

Plustek Book Pavilion:

Application: Plustek OCR (click in the drop-down menu)

This will automatically add OCR when you click transfer after the scan is completed.

There is another option but will take a while:

  • Scan article as normal
  • Click Transfer
  • Open File in Adobe Acrobat
  • Go to the column on the right side and click “Scan & OCR”
  • Go to the new bar at the top (Row that says “Scan & OCR”)
  • Click “Enhance”
  • Click “Scanned Document”
  • Make sure the drop-down “Pages” says “All Pages” and that “Recognize text” is checked.

  • Upload document to email/Alma
