PDF OCR

Creates searchable PDF. It performs text recognition on the image contents of the PDF and makes them searchable. This is one of our premium features. A point to be noted is that the call cost for this action is twice the number of pages in the document. i.e. if OCR is performed on a 5-page document, the call cost would be 10.
