How Tally writes PDFs
- • Vouchers and invoices are printed to PDF with standard fonts.
- • Amounts are in right aligned columns, often with the rupee symbol.
What that means when you make a scanned PDF searchable
- • Amounts keep their alignment. If the font lacks ₹, you choose whether to use a font that has it.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The scan image is kept as it is; the text layer is added on top.
- • Accuracy depends on scan quality.
Questions people ask
+Does OCR change how the page looks?
No. The text layer is invisible.
+Is it better to edit in Tally?
If you have the original Tally file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
