Highlight in a Scan
Article ID: 11 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Fri, Oct 25, 2013 at 8:45 AM
Sometimes the highlighter won’t work in a scanned document. The problem is that the highlight tool will only highlight text, and a scan doesn’t actually have any text - it’s just a picture.
What you need to do is run OCR to convert the "pictures" of words to actual words. It’s a simple process. Just hit the OCR button.
When OCR is finished, you’ll be able to highlight the words in the scan.
