Use it just for the OCR!

I initially purchased this app to scan in paper documents using my flatbed scanner a few years ago. But with the advent of higher resolution smart phones and IOS apps like Scannable (Evernote) and Scanner Pro (Readdle), I no longer use my flatbed scanner. I now find myself using PDFScanner to open PDF files that I’ve printed from web pages, etc… and harness it’s very respectable and inexpensive OCR feature. Just select all pages in the left bar (Command-A) and (Command-Shift-O) to perform the OCR function and save. As some of you probably already know, dedicated OCR apps can be very expensive and this little app humbles those expensive OCR apps.
