What happens when a document is scanned? All the captured graphics and text on each page of a document are displayed as though they are all one big graphic image. There’s no problem with this except that it cannot be edited or searched because as far as PDF (Portable Document Format) or document readers are concerned, a scanned document is nothing but a graphic file.
This is where PDF and digital converter tools enter the scene. They can be used to convert PDF files into searchable text files. However, many of them have limitations in the number of pages that can be processed at the same time. This poses as a roadblock, most especially, if factors like volume and time are important.
As both start-up and established publishing houses or libraries intensify their venture into digital platforms, the technology looks like it could still be a limiting factor. According to the Innovation Center for Graphic Communication (VIGC) from Belgium, conversion tools are producing inconsistent results. As a result, it is hampering media conversion processes.
The popularity of digital format is increasing. This trend makes publishing houses and libraries face the big challenge of converting their current and back issues or old books on their own, using unreliable media converters. Even eager digital publishers want to move beyond basic conversion processes. They all want to explore enhanced media conversion available in the market today.
Do-it-yourself converters are proving to be more of a nuisance than a solution, partnering with a media conversion company can help publishers immensely. Such companies are expected to offer not only media conversion, but also media management and media analysis services. Moreover, they also employ the first-rate media analysts to sort, select and process files relevant to the demands of their clients. They use top of the line tools and the latest technology to provide clients with quality services.
