The Built-In OCR
OCR is the process of extracting text from an image. This image can result from
scanning a paper document, opening an electronic image file or a PDF file. Images
do not have editable text characters, they have many tiny dots (pixels) that together
form character shapes. These present a picture of the text on a page.
From character image ...
... to editable text
