PX7 PDF OCR

Make scanned PDFs searchable.

Recognise the words inside scanned pages, keep the document looking the same and save a new PDF you can search, select and copy from.

Seven-day trial · €19 one-time · updates through version 1.x · one key for up to seven Macs.

The page stays the page.

Search, select and copy

OCR adds an invisible text layer behind the original scanned page, so the document keeps its familiar appearance.

See what was recognised

Switch between the original PDF, the searchable result and the extracted text before saving the batch.

Automatic language detection

Let the Mac detect the language or choose English, Danish, German, French, Spanish, Norwegian or Swedish.

Respect existing text

Pages that are already searchable are left alone by default. Choose Every Page only when you want fresh recognition throughout.

Text when you need it

Save optional plain-text or Markdown copies alongside the searchable PDF.

One PDF or a whole folder

Use Finder Open With, drag in complete folders or run the Shortcuts action with the same recognition settings.

Your originals stay untouched

Every result gets a new collision-safe filename. Existing files are never overwritten.

On your Mac

Recognition uses Apple Vision locally. Your PDF pages are not sent away for processing.
