How do I turn a scanned PDF into editable text?

Upload the scanned PDF (or a photo of the page) to Presentr Analyze and choose Extract text. Each page is read, printed or handwritten, and you download the text as TXT or a Word document. You can also have it translated into another language in the same run.
