Hi,

I have a PDF file with image text documents. hence I can't search the
text. How can I convert it to searchable PDF file?

Thanx

You will have to scan it using an OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
application and then create a PDF file.

Acrobat can do this.

Of course. On Pro its on the Document menu. But what I had a problem doing
was editing the OCR's mistakes. I tried the Tools -> Advanced Editing ->
TouchUp Text Tool. But I was having problems when the number of scanned
characters was greater in the text than the image. So this is on hold for
now.
