Watch out.  PDF with OCR can show you a clear and crisp  [possibly wrong] interpretation of the scan, not what the actual scan looked like.


The OCR may well say "0" where the printing says "8" but what your eyes will see will be the representation of the printing. So if you rely only on OCR you may well miss something, but if you fall back to the way you'd have towork without OCR (or even the way you'd have to work if you had the original paper copy) then you have to rely on your eyesight to fail to find what you are looking for ...


Unless, that is, you discard the graphical representation and keep only the OCR result. In which case all bets are off.
