検索可能な PDF は、OCR (光学式文字認識) PDF とも呼ばれ、スキャンされた画像と機械で読み取り可能なテキストの両方を含む PDF ドキュメントの一種です。 これらの PDF は、スキャンされた紙の文書または画像に対して OCR を実行し、画像内のテキストを認識して、選択および検索可能なテキストに変換することによって作成されます。

ModelType パラメータは、OCR に使用する事前学習済み ML モデルを制御します。デフォルトは Normal で、高速な結果を得るために画像を 960 ピクセルにリサイズして処理します。Enhanced は最大 2560 ピクセルの画像に対応しており、細部をより忠実に保持し、高解像度の入力に対する精度を向上させます。
検索可能なPDFで、コピーまたは検索した文字が破損して表示されるのはなぜですか?
これは、検索可能なテキストレイヤーで使用されるデフォルトのフォント(Times New Roman)が、すべてのUnicode文字を完全にサポートしていないために発生します。これを修正するには、SaveAsSearchablePdfの3番目のパラメータとして、Unicode互換のフォントファイルを指定してください。もしドキュメントがもともとTimes New Romanで組版されており、他のフォントとの間で文字間隔の不一致が見られる場合は、Liberation Serifを試してみてください。このフォントは同じグリフメトリクスを共有しており、元のレイアウトを維持します。
What advanced configuration options are available in IronOCR for creating searchable PDFs?
IronOCR offers advanced configuration options, including detailed Tesseract configuration, setting Tesseract variables, and choosing different page segmentation modes. These can be tailored to fine-tune OCR for specific document types or languages.
