PDF OCR tips: pages, clarity, and mode choice

Why short scans work better, when to force OCR, and common accuracy pitfalls.

Too many pages or huge resolutions will slow the browser — split the PDF first.

Clear print and high contrast scan better; skew, shadows, and handwriting struggle.

Use Auto for digital PDFs; Force OCR for pure scans or garbled text layers.

Pick Chinese+English for mixed docs; English-only for Latin text to reduce noise.
