Highlight in a Scan

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.
