PDF File Formats:
Depending on which version of ELAN Converter™ you bought, the program might be able to load raster images from PDF files and convert them to PDF or other formats. In some cases both the input and the output are PDF files. What is it good for? The fact is that ELAN Converter™ can improve the quality of existing PDF files by applying image processing, it can downscale PDF files to lower resolution, optimize them for Web browsing, and finally, value enhance existing PDF files by adding hidden text layer and making it searchable. If you input PDF file already has hidden text, but you are not satisfied with the quality, ELAN Converter™ may improve the OCR result. Also, you will find that every word in the output PDF file will be positioned exactly on top of the raster word, so when you highlight a word in Adobe Acrobat Reader™, it will always be in the correct position.
Limitation: ELAN Converter™ will only handle PDF files with full page image files. These files are usually created by scanning applications and are called image PDF format. There are many scanning applications on the market, and not all PDF files are created equal, incompatibilities might exist. Please test your input files against Converter for compatibility.
Tips: If you find a PDF file that is incompatible with Converter, you might try to use Adobe Acrobat and perform an optimization (Save As option) and select a more compatible format
