Hi Frank Mora,

As a best practice, you should always check for potential errors. However, you can also run OCR in Acrobat and use the Correct Recognized Text to check for possible errors prior to exporting.

Thanks,
Lori

I haven’t done this procedure yet, but it sure will be helpful. Thank you so much for the tips.

How accurate is the converted document? Does it need to be checked for errors?
