- 3.Download the searchable PDF.
How Zoho Invoice writes PDFs
- • Invoices are generated from templates with embedded subset fonts.
- • Tables hold items, quantities and amounts.
What that means when you make a scanned PDF searchable
- • Table rows can be added or removed and amounts edited; totals need checking by hand.
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.
