I need to convert a non-searchable pdf to a searchable pdf and I'm not having much luck so far. I'm using QuickPDF version 11.15 and I've tried "ExtractPageText" and "DAExtractPageText". I just need to be pointed in the right direction.

QuickPDF is not designed for such kind of PDF processing.

You should try AbbyFineReader or other OCR software.

Here you can find description how to test my examples:

Thanks for the input.

Do you know if the SDK can do this? I know that PhantomPDF can do it but I want to be able to do that using a command line and am pursuing that also.
