All electronic files are searchable using the Adobe® Acrobat® Find feature. Files include detailed bookmarks and thumbnail views, so you can easily navigate to the section you need. And, the Adobe Reader Select Text feature allows you to select, copy, and paste text into a Microsoft Word® document for further review and analysis.

Premier OCR Searchable PDF

For even more precise and sophisticated data analysis, order our Premier OCR Searchable PDF file histories. Thomson Reuters is the only file history provider employing state of the art OCR technology that simultaneously runs multiple vote engines to improve the overall data accuracy by 80 percent compared to single vote engine technology currently used in most file history OCR products. In addition, this technology has a greater ability to distinguish text content from image content and other noise appearing on a document. Less sophisticated systems are unable to make this distinction and leave over 60 percent of the document text content unsearchable. This format is one our most popular and fastest growing products, providing improved data accuracy and content, and expanded search capabilities including proximity and Boolean operators.
