Details and common questions

Which files are supported?

One PDF.

What result will I receive?

One PDF containing the changes you choose to make.

What should I know before using it?
  • OCR is not included, so scanned text cannot be detected.
  • Pages with replacements are flattened on export.
  • Flattening removes searchable text, links, forms, and annotations on affected pages.
Why can’t I select text in a scan?

A scan is usually an image and requires OCR, which PDF Eye does not currently provide.

Does replaced text remain searchable?

No. A page containing replacements is intentionally flattened during export.
