Prepare the source and define the result
Use reflow for rewriting, facsimile when appearance is the record, or hybrid when reviewers need source and editable text together.
Set acceptance criteria before processing: expected pages or records, languages, critical fields and destination format.
Use a reviewable OCR workflow
Infer headings and order conservatively for reflow. Fit images without stretching and use section breaks for mixed orientations.
Keep recognition evidence beside the source. Confidence prioritizes review but does not guarantee a word or number.
Verify before using the output
Test editing, zoom quality and source-to-transcript pairing. State the profile clearly so recipients understand what is editable.
Keep the original until the reviewed derivative is accepted. Valid structure does not prove semantic accuracy.
- Reflow changes line breaks and spatial relationships.
- Facsimile text is not independently editable.
Put the workflow into practice
Arrange source documents, select the pages you need, and create one PDF locally in your browser. Review the result before choosing any optional next step.
