We are thrilled to announce the Black Ice TIFF Viewer Pro now includes the ability to save Tiff and Scanned non-editable PDF documents as Searchable PDF's.

Introducing Searchable PDFs: A Game-Changing Feature

The new version leverages OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to extract text from your documents, creating a dynamic text overlay on the background image. This transformative process enables the conversion of your Tiff and scanned non-editable PDFs into fully searchable PDF documents with selectable text.

Addressing Common Challenges

In industries such as healthcare and legal services, or businesses that have to deal with a lot of invoices, non-editable PDFs are often employed to safeguard the integrity of critical documents. However, this practice can pose challenges for users who need to extract specific information, like invoice numbers or patient names, from these documents. The Black Ice TIFF Viewer Pro's latest feature effortlessly overcomes this hurdle.

Seamless Text Selection and Copying

With our latest update, users can now select and copy text directly from the PDF, streamlining processes and making tasks like copying invoice numbers or patient names a breeze. This enhancement brings unprecedented ease and efficiency to your workflow, ensuring you can access and utilize the information you need with unparalleled convenience.

We are committed to continually enhancing our products to meet the evolving needs of our users, and this update is a testament to that commitment.

Upgrade to the latest version of Black Ice TIFF Viewer Pro today and experience the difference for yourself!
