Bluebeam Tip: Enhance Workflow Efficiency with OCR in Bluebeam Revu

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in Bluebeam Revu is a powerful tool aimed at enhancing productivity by converting scanned documents and images into searchable and editable text. Here's how you can leverage this feature to streamline your workflow:

• Initiating OCR: Start by opening your scanned document in Bluebeam Revu. Navigate to Document > OCR to begin the text recognition process. This tool is particularly beneficial when working with older documents that were not originally digitized.
• Configuring Settings: Before running OCR, ensure that your language settings are correct. This ensures precise text recognition, especially for documents containing technical terms or multiple languages.
• Output Options: Bluebeam offers flexibility in how you wish to save the recognized text, whether embedding it directly into the PDF or exporting it into separate text files.
• Accuracy Improvements: For improved accuracy, ensure your scanned documents are of high quality. A resolution of at least 300 DPI is recommended to minimize recognition errors.
• Editing Recognized Text: Once the OCR process is complete, you can select and edit the recognized text directly within Bluebeam Revu. This is particularly useful for correcting any misrecognized words or phrases.
• Search Functionality: After running OCR, utilize Bluebeam's search tools to quickly locate specific text within your document, enhancing navigation and information retrieval.
