What Is a Searchable PDF?

When saying “searchable” PDF, we’re talking about a PDF file with text that you’re able to select, search, copy, and paste. You may have noticed that when an image/scan is converted to a PDF the contents of that file are not automatically searchable.

How to Make a PDF Searchable?

If you need to search for specific keywords in a scanned multi-page document and use copy (Ctrl+C) to extract the text without retyping the entire document, our free searchable PDF converter can help you. Our tool is based on OCR (Optical Character Recognition), which allows you to recognize text in a scanned document and convert it to a searchable PDF.

This is where TemplateRoller’s free online tool becomes useful. Our service can help you convert your files into a Searchable PDF quickly and efficiently:
