# Is there a convenient way for bots to read scanned PDF files?

This may be a little far fetched, but I'm curious.

There are ways we can do it like by using IQ bots, OCR if scanned quality and resolution is good enough.

It depends on the quality of the scanned docs. There are some high end tools like AA IQBOT. But even they will fail if the quality is not good enough. If the PDFs are of good quality, then for better accuracy go for ABBY/IQBOT. If the quality is bad, then better go for some free OCRs.

ITS DEPENDS ON THE PDF quality as scanned pdf is not recommended to be processed by IQBOT. But some time its work fine.
There is no 100% working method to work on scanned pdf.

Yes , feasible as long as one is clear the contents to be extracted. IQ bots are more perceptive of contents and can put them in a format required learning on the go.

Scanned document can be read using OCR.
IN OCR we can easily identify the element I'd and then can be used.
