AdamS Posted May 9, 2016 Report Posted May 9, 2016 I'm running some tests at the moment on ingesting large amounts of PDF invoices to assist with an internal matter and I'm noting quite a loss of quality from the original PDF doc to what is shown in Intella. The original has solid text and clearly visible print, however after indexing there is quite a bit of fading and text is grainy..ish... I've attached a couple of small pics to demonstrate. The quality loss is by no means drastic and the resulting file can still be read, but I'm thinking what might happen if I export these PDF docs for OCR, then import the results what my overall quality loss may be?
ŁukaszBachman Posted May 10, 2016 Report Posted May 10, 2016 Hi Adam, are those results coming from the native Preview tab or from TIFF exports? I understand that those PDFs are created out of images (ie. scanned invoices) as otherwise I wouldn't see why one would need to OCR them, but can you verify this too?
AdamS Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) This is in the Preview tab......however I think I see where you are going with this. I'll export the files from Intella and see if the quality loss replicates or if it's simply a preview rendering issue, as I understand from your previous advice that the rendering of PDF's in preview mode is not a simple matter. Edit: Confirmed, this is a preview issue only, when I export or view in native application there is no loss of quality. Edited May 11, 2016 by AdamS
