How do I make my scanned PDF searchable (OCR)?
You can use Adobe Acrobat DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro to run OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on your PDFs in order to make them accessible and searchable.
Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe Acrobat Pro are different from Adobe Acrobat Reader in that they allow you to edit and manipulate PDF documents.
-Adobe Acrobat DC is available on College owned PCs by opening a ticket with the IT Service Desk.
-You may also purchase a copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro for your personal PC or Mac through OnTheHub.
If you need assistance with downloading and installing Adobe Acrobat DC from the Software Center or with purchasing Adobe Acrobat Pro through OnTheHub, contact the Help Desk at x5151 opt. 1.
