Click ‘OCR Option’ button to activate OCR function.

Check ‘Perform OCR’, and then select document language in the dropdown list. This is extremely important for OCR accuracy, if your PDF file is in Italian, but you choose English as OCR language, it can’t recognize text contents correctly.

Customizable Output Options:
You can customize output setting for different output formats.
If the ‘Option’ button is grayed out, that means the option for the selected output format is not available.
The option is available for the following conversion:
(1) PDF to Excel
Convert the whole document into one sheet or put each page in an individual sheet in Excel Spreadsheet file.
You can also keep the original formatting of the original PDF or keep data only without formatting.
(2) PDF to CSV
(3) PDF to Text
If you check ‘Show Page Number’, the output .txt file will add separator for each page. If you uncheck that option, page separator will now appear.
(4) PDF to Image
For example, if you choose 100%, image will not be enlarged after conversion, text will be blurry when you zoom in. If you choose 400%, the output image quality will be much better than 100%, but the file size will increase. For example, 608KB 100% vs. 5.86MB 400%.
