Searchable PDF/XPS/OOXML Files

This mode enables you to perform OCR (optical character recognition) to extract data that can be recognized as text from the scanned document, and create a PDF/XPS/OOXML (pptx, docx) file that is searchable.
For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
