![]() ![]() OCR lets you take text appearing in an image and turn it into text that is selectable, highlightable, and editable. One feature that PDF Editor Pro offers that goes well beyond the capabilities of Preview is Optical Character Recognition (OCR). ![]() This is not impossible, but it lacks the basic simplicity found in apps such as Preview or even the feature-rich Instead, you have to open a separate Inspector window, locate the Annotation Properties and change the fill color. The default color for highlighting is yellow and, unlike Preview, there is no way to change that color from the highlighting menu. Like page insertion, highlighting text in your documents works, but the devil is in the details. In this OCR scan, PDF Editor Pro failed to recognize three words in the original image (left) from a digtial textbook: “self-signed,” “Import,” and “Configure.” PDF Editor Pro displayed those three words as images (right). It is possible to insert pages into your document from another file, but this is only using a menu item, which isn’t as straightforward or easy as Preview’s drag-and-drop. ![]() Instead, dragging the page from one document to the next rearranges the pages in the document you’ve attempted to drag the page to. Attempting to do the same with PDF Editor simply doesn’t work. All you need to do is open two PDF files with the sidebar open so you can see the pages and then drag a page from the sidebar on one PDF to the sidebar on the other PDF. If you’ve ever used Preview to edit a PDF file you may be aware that inserting pages from one PDF file into another PDF file is pretty simple. While it’s possible to edit form fields in most other PDF editing applications, PDF Editor Pro is the only application I’ve used that makes it obvious a document contains these fields as soon as you open it. When the application finds form fields a small blue bar appears across the top of the document stating that the document contains interactive form fields and all the fields are highlighted in blue. PDF Editor Pro has a new form recognition feature that automatically detects and highlights fields in a PDF file that are available for you to enter data into. As is the case with any PDF editor, the quality of the edits you make using these tools may not be as good as your average word processor as the font used in the original PDF document may no be available on your Mac and you are only able to edit text one line at a time. Select the Touchup tool in the PDF Editor Pro toolbar, then double-click the text you want to edit to make changes. Inline text editing in PDF Editor Pro works mostly as expected. PDF Editor Pro can take scanned PDF documents and turn them into editable PDF files you can annotate, edit, or update as you see fit. ![]()
