I am looking for an online OCR website for processing a multi-page pdf file at one time. Free preferably.

I know http://www.newocr.com/. If I am correct, it can only OCR one page at a time, by manually clicking "Preview" and then clicking "OCR" for each page. After each page is OCRed, I have to copy out the text result manually too.

If my pdf file has 30~ pages, it will be tedious to repeat the above process for each page. I wonder if there is some other online websites that OCR a whole pdf file, without asking me for manual operation?

Thanks!

Google Docs can OCR PDFs but you need to upload your PDF to Google Drive for that to work.

The process is explained here. Simply right-click your PDF file in the Google Drive website and select Open with / Google Docs from the context menu. The formatting will not be retained very well, however.

  • Nice page, and it converts long documents too (at leas my 184 page pdf)! Although it did at a watermark in the footer, which could be undesired in some cases.
