Introducing Smart OCR! Select text in PDFs without a text layer on the fly using Live Text and Highlights will embed it as OCR automatically in the background. Similarly, non-searchable PDFs will become searchable as you search and everything is done locally without you having to initiate it. Smart! These features require macOS 13 Ventura or later. Smart OCR works with English, Chinese, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Ukrainian text on hardware that supports Live Text. Minor improvements: - Resolved a longstanding bug with network error messages popping up for a small set of users when opening files - Fixed a bug where in rare cases the document would be unnecessary reloaded while running AutoSave - Fixed a bug where null characters in annotation comments could stop annotation extraction - Added a setting for Pro users to never be prompted for metadata fetches (General > Fetch Metadata > "Manual") - Fixed a bug introduced in 2023.1.1 where Pro users enabling the "Save Sidecar Markdown-file"-setting would get a blank Preference panel
