Converting text to images Hello, I have a 10 page pdf file but it is not searchable. I need to use the text here. How can I do this OCR process for free on any of the three iPhone, iPad or MacBook? Right now, there is an option to take screenshots of each page and scan the text from the photos with the iPhone, but it takes longer. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.
