Ah...I see now. Thanks.
When I click on the Text Recognition, I get this pop up menu. I've always just clicked 'OK' because I'm not trying to 'edit' the document, just OCR it. 'Edit' doesn't seem inuitive for doing OCR.
By clicking 'OK' it goes ahead and OCR the document. I've always just stopped there.
However, when I do click 'Edit', other options come up:
- Searchable Image
- Searchable Image Exact
- Clearscan
The Clearscan option...
I've always tried to reduce the PDF size by using the PDF optimizer in another tool menu. But, if I remember, it does reduce the file size, but strips the OCR layer off.
I'd like to reduce the file size while retaining high quality. I don't need a 50% size reduction, but 20-30% would be nice.
