PDF OCR X is a simple drag-and-drop utility that converts your PDFs and images into text documents or searchable PDF files. It uses advanced OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract the text of the PDF even if that text is contained in an image. This is particularly useful for dealing with PDFs that were created via a Scan-to-PDF function in a scanner or photo copier.
Includes support for over 60 languages including English, German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, and many others.

Great tool
Bartzumbari
Very handy tool works great and is reliable. The main issue I've run into is scanning files that are on icloud--if they are not located locally, this app won't handle that. It would be nice if it checked for that and then download the file automatically.
worked perfect and saved me hours

I have used the free copy of this product that only does 1 page at a time for over a year. Now I needed to convert a 197 page file of medical records. The records had been scanned in and were images that were not searchable. Some of the pages were landscape and some were portatait. I started the conversion and took a 15 minute break. When I returned it was just finishing. The final product was everything I hoped for. With the search function I literally saved 4-5 hours of work and did not have to worry about missing a word burind in the image somewhere. I am using it on a MACBOOK pro running Sierra. The installation only took a few minutes and was smooth. I just clicked download and then opened it in a 2-3 minutes.
Actually preserves original document image!

This is the best software for creating searchable PDF's you’ll find, unless you want to step up to something quite pricey like ABBYY. In this price range, PDF OCR X is the ONLY software I’ve seen that actually preserves the ORIGINAL DOCUMENT IMAGE in the final searchable PDF. (The other apps like to cobble together their own PDF that is a mishmash of bits of image from the original mixed with pure text; the result is usually ugly and only vaguely resembles the original.) For my purposes, preservation of the original image is vital, so this make PDF OCR X the only suitable solution for me.
Outstanding App forward heavy work

As a book publisher with a collection of classic books (rediscovered), I need to scan old books to make a PDF file to send to the printer. Some are no able to convert into text. This App did a 230 pages text flawless text conversion that I can use to produce an iBook. Except for some details like German words with particular characters like ü are missing it has 99% accuracy.Highly recommended.
Fixes hanging on large PDF files (> 1000 pages)
