Convert Scanned Docs into Editable, Searchable PDFs

February 27, 2024
ComPDFKit Conversion SDK v1.10 optimizes document workflows by converting scans into PDF files that can be easily searched and edited.

The ComPDFKit Conversion SDK is used to convert PDF files to a variety of other formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, TXT, CSV, RTF, and JSON. Instead of having server-side dependencies, it uses its own built-in conversion engine with no dependency on external apps. This is more secure than traditional converters as it doesn't need to transmit sensitive data to external servers. It has advanced PDF parsing capabilities, can analyze a PDF's logical structure to accurately recreate the original document, and can handle complex and irregular tables.

ComPDFKit Conversion SDK v1.10.0 (Windows and Mac editions) further enhances its OCR capabilities by adding the ability to convert scanned documents into PDFs that you can edit and search. This empowers users to modify existing content, conduct efficient text searches within the document, and streamline information retrieval, significantly enhancing document workflow and accessibility.

To see a full list of what's new in v1.10.0, see our release notes for Mac.

ComPDFKit Conversion SDK is licensed per application per platform and is available as an annual license. See our ComPDFKit Conversion SDK for Windows licensing page for full details.
