Searchable PDF
Add an invisible text layer to a scanned PDF so you can search and copy its content — the OCR runs on your device in CyvoDocOps Pro, and the scan image is preserved as-is.
Files are processed locally in your browser — no upload is required for this tool.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a scanned PDF searchable?
Open the scanned PDF in CyvoDocOps Pro on Android or iOS, run the Searchable PDF tool, and export. The output PDF looks identical but contains a hidden text layer Ctrl+F can find.
Does making a PDF searchable change its appearance?
No. The text layer is invisible. The scanned images remain exactly as they were.
Why can't I do this in the browser?
Searchable PDF is a CyvoDocOps Pro feature, and Pro is purchased through the App Store or Google Play — there is no web checkout — so it lives in the mobile app. The OCR that builds the text layer runs on your own device; the scan is never uploaded.
Is the scanned document uploaded?
No. Everything happens on your device in the mobile app.
