Searchable PDFs for Efficient Fax Document Management

Release Date: July 20, 2024

Faxing scanned PDFs hinders efficiency, especially if you want to retrieve, organize, and extract specific texts from hundreds or thousands of PDFs.

The good news is that iFax has made it easier for you to search for specific information quickly. You can finally rest easy from manually searching texts, as the latest Web 7.13.1 update showcases iFax’s capability to search within fax downloads and exported fax PDFs.

OCR’d Faxes: Exported Fax PDFs Can Be Searchable

Unlike scanned PDFs, which are essentially digital versions of paper documents in image formats, searchable PDFs contain texts that can be easily searched, extracted, organized, and archived. This saves you from the hassle of manually searching for texts, especially when working on large volumes of files. You don’t need to go through each page to find specific information.

Searchable PDFs let you utilize the search function.

This newly added functionality not only helps improve information accessibility but also enhances work productivity since you spend less time searching, copying, pasting, and extracting specific fax information.

With iFax Web 7.13.1, you can quickly search for texts within an OCR’d fax document. You can access this functionality using fax downloads, which would require you to download the PDF to your local storage or drive.

Note that this function is only available on demand, so you must contact our sales team to enable it in your iFax Professional account.
