Not all PDFs are born digital. Many are scanned from physical paper. Solid Converter v9 includes a powerful scanning interface and OCR engine. It supports WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) and TWAIN drivers, allowing users to scan paper directly into PDF, Word, or even multipage TIFF files. The OCR engine has been refined in v9 to handle poor-quality scans and rotated text with higher accuracy, making archived paper documents searchable and editable.
Version 9 introduces a refined "True Page" mode. Older converters often "re-flow" text, meaning a two-column document ends up as a messy single column. V9 analyzes the geometric layout of the PDF and preserves the visual location of text, images, and margins. What you see in the PDF is what you get in Word.
