Upon upload of your PDF, our system extracts any embedded fonts and stores them as page text.

That text is used for:

  • User Searching: That page text will be searchable from the flipbook search tool and/or search engines
  • The TEXT ONLY tool displayed for mobile devices:  Especially usefull for smaller devices where the PDF text itself may be hard to read without zoom

Remember to always embed your fonts to get the best results with the text extraction step. If you have non-embedded text OR if your text is in image format, the system will not be able to extract.

You can check and edit the text content that was extracted for each page by first going to the page editor (Enhance button) and clicking on the tab with the "T" icon

It's a good idea to check your page text to make sure your PDFs text has been extracted in full. 

Sometimes text characters are not recognized by our system and should be replaced using the Page text tool.

To change the page text, just click on the EDIT button at the bottom of the display, make the changes/corrections in the text and click Save to update the page text. Click cancel to exit without saving.

NOTES:

  • Editing your page text will not update the displayed text content on the flipbook and mobile interfaces...only the searchable text.
  • Text in image form which will not be extracted by our system
