Scanned PDF to Text: Unlocking Scanned Documents

Scanned PDFs are photos of paper. Your computer can see the words, but it can't read them. You can't search, copy, or edit.

Until now.

The pdgmergepdf.com Scanned PDF to Text tool uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to turn images of text into actual, selectable, copyable text. It reads your scanned documents like a human—but faster and without coffee breaks.

Why this feels like magic:

• Search scanned books for specific phrases.
• Copy text from old contracts.
• Edit text from documents you only have in paper form.
• Finally organize that pile of scanned receipts.

The process:

Upload a scanned PDF, wait a few seconds, download a text file full of words that used to be trapped in images.
