PDF Software Suggestion

PDF Software Suggestion

PDF Software Suggestion

(OP)
Good Morning,

I'm looking for a PDF software that I can purchase that will convert a PDF into a searchable image text file. I'm working on my family tree and have had a DNA test done with Ancestry. I can print to PDF but I can't search on it. I would appreciate any suggestions. If you need additional information please let me know.

Thank you in advance.
Jean

RE: PDF Software Suggestion

Optical character recognition (OCR) converts image files into text format. The full version of Adobe Acrobat will do this, or you can google for "free OCR software".
