Use OCR for PDF? At first that sounds contradictory because PDFs are already digital, and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is mainly known for digitizing paper documents.

For a long time, the rumour has persisted that PDFs cannot be accessible. Unfortunately, this assumption also persists because the possibilities that exist are used far too seldom and are sometimes less well known.

For all documents that require a signature, the digital equivalent needs a suitable replacement: an electronic signature (also called an e-signature).
