Chrome's New Feature Turns Scanned PDFs Searchable

About this video

Ever been tricked into opening a PDF that’s just a picture? 😩 No text to copy, no search, just frustration. But hey, there’s good news! 🎉 Chrome is testing a cool new feature that uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to make scanned PDFs searchable—finally! 🔍✨
Google's been flexing its OCR muscle for years with Lens and Translate, and now it's coming for those annoying image-PDFs. The feature’s still in beta, but once it rolls out, searching text in PDFs will be as smooth as Ctrl+F! 🙌
Say goodbye to fake PDFs and hello to real functionality. 🚀
