Does anyone know if a TIFF or PDF is faster or slower to OCR?

Hi Kim,

It depends, if you use the standard OmniPage 18.5 OCR method for a .tiff and .pdf it should have similar processing time.

However if you use a searchable pdf and use adobe IFilter, the text will extract faster than OCRing it.

OCR only works on image pages. In order to OCR a PDF, image pages must be generated first. The other option for PDFs, as Johan mentions, is to use the Adobe IFilter to generate text without OCRing it. This only works if the PDF has a text layer embedded into it.
