Use OCR, then edit only after source-scan verification

Verify the OCR-plus-editing workflow and require a field-by-field check against an untouched original. For this scanned invoice task, SwifDoo PDF for Windows is purchase-ready only if you can apply OCR to the image-only invoice, edit the recognised PDF text, and validate totals, tax, dates, and supplier fields against the original scan.

Do not rely on OCR as the invoice authority

  • Never treat OCR output as financially authoritative without checking it.
  • Editing issued invoices may have accounting or legal consequences.
