You can search for the word foreign or a certain amount or investment name or account number... helps prevent omissions too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abby Normal Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 No, PDF. But I have PDF software (Nuance Standard) that will make any PDF searchable. I use it a lot on wills, articles of organization, and other documents I receive as a PDF. My scanner can also scan OCR but the PDF software does it faster and better. The scanner doesn't recognize spaces as characters, so if you copy/paste a line all the words run together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jklcpa Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Adobe Acrobat also has the ability to convert a pdf to recognize text. It is in the Tools section. See this snip: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
