PDF Everyday's flagship OCR search engine reads text straight from the page image — finding invoice numbers, part codes and references inside scanned documents that normal search can't touch.
When a document is scanned, photographed or faxed, its text becomes pixels. Standard PDF search finds nothing. Our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine reads those pixels back into text — every page, automatically.
Punctuation, dots, dashes and spaces inside codes are ignored automatically — you don't need to know how the code was printed:
Search up to 20 terms in one pass — results stream in live, page by page, as the engine scans.
Drag & drop or click to browse. Up to 50 MB — scanned or digital, both work.
Type up to 20 codes or phrases separated by spaces. Punctuation doesn't matter.
Matches appear instantly with page numbers as OCR scans each page. Repeat searches on the same file are even faster.
One place for every PDF task: merge, split, compress, convert to Word, extract text and images, protect, crop and more.
Files are processed in memory and deleted immediately. Nothing is stored or shared — ever.
