OCR on iOS and Mac

Thanks Rob. It’s not really working the way I wanted. I also contacted the ABYY support team, but that might take some time so I’m asking you.

I import the article into ABYY FineScanner and then perform the OCR - in Danish and English - of the article.

I then send the document via the share sheet to PDF Expert, yet I can’t perform any valid searches in that app.

Have you experienced this problem?

Been there myself. Actually it’s very simple, although not very straightforward:

First you got to tap the pdf button below and only then you’ll be presented the OCR’d file to export. See screenshot from
iPhone version bellow:

Thanks! But that’s not what I see when I scroll to the bottom after having done the ocr the way that @Rob_Polding also showed.

What am I missing. I isn’t see anything at the bottom
