- 01Add a supported PDF file. The real type is checked before PDF OCR runs, not only the extension.
- 02Use the controls that belong to this task: OCR language(s). Files over the stated limits are rejected.
- 03Check size, format and page or pixel counts on the result before downloading. Compression tasks keep the original when they do not save space.
