Quick answer
OCR can misread unclear or closely spaced characters. Compare the copied text with the original image before using it in another document.
Understand the issue
Commonly troublesome material includes small print, skewed pages and faint photocopies. Keep examples of the errors so you can decide whether to correct a few words or rescan the source. Do not replace the original scan with unreviewed extracted text.
Step-by-step checks
- Compare a short copied passage against the visible page.
- Inspect the OCR language and recognition results.
- Correct identified errors or rescan an unreadable source at suitable quality.

What the results mean
If the image itself is illegible, repeated recognition cannot reliably reconstruct missing information.
| Stage | Action |
|---|---|
| Start | Compare a short copied passage against the visible page. |
| Compare | Inspect the OCR language and recognition results. |
| Next step | Correct identified errors or rescan an unreadable source at suitable quality. |
Keep the source PDF and verify the delivery copy
Keep the original PDF unchanged while testing viewer, print or conversion settings. Check the page count and whether the file contains normal digital text, scanned images, annotations or component attachments. These features affect what different viewers can display, search, print or preserve.
Choose a representative page rather than judging the entire document by its cover. Include a page with small text, a diagram and any comments relevant to the task. Browser PDF viewers and desktop applications have different capabilities, so use the intended reader for the operation rather than assuming every viewer will expose the same controls.
Check the final output separately from the on-screen editing view. For a printout, compare paper size, orientation and scaling with the preview. For a converted or compressed copy, inspect text, images, page order and searchability. Save under a different filename and verify the uploaded or shared preview where possible. Handle confidential documents with approved tools; an online converter receives the file you upload, even when the conversion itself looks routine.
Before you finish
- Original PDF retained
- Page count and content type checked
- Representative page tested in intended reader
- Final print, upload or export verified
