pdfRest Introduces OCR PDF API Tool to Unlock Image-Based Text

pdfRest, a leading provider of document technology solutions, today announced the launch of the OCR PDF API Tool, a powerful addition to the pdfRest platform. This versatile tool empowers developers to extract text from images embedded within PDFs, making the text searchable and accessible.

How Does OCR with PDF Work?

• Expanded Searchability and Accessibility: The OCR PDF API utilizes advanced optical character recognition (OCR) technology to accurately identify and extract text from images. This extracted text is seamlessly integrated back into the PDF document, allowing users to search, copy, and extract the previously inaccessible text.
• Comprehensive Text Extraction: By combining OCR PDF with pdfRest's existing Extract Text API Tool, developers can unlock valuable insights from their PDF documents, ensuring all text content, regardless of its format, is extracted from the PDF to support document archival, search, reproduction, and data analysis.
• Easy PDF and OCR Integration: As a REST API tool, OCR PDF integrates seamlessly with existing development environments. It can be called from nearly any programming language or low/no-code framework, allowing developers to easily access previously inaccessible image-based text, eliminating the need for complex software installations or configurations. This easy integration empowers developers to quickly incorporate OCR functionalities into their workflows, simplifying text work for a wide range of use cases.

This latest addition supports pdfRest’s commitment to providing developers with a comprehensive collection of API Tools for managing and optimizing PDF workflows and document solutions.
