A scanned permit on my tablet is a 12-page image PDF and I need the applicant's name and parcel ID now to match it to a file. I don't have time to OCR by hand. Diagnose whether a quick automated conversion would be reliable on this scan, tell me the immediate steps to convert it into searchable text on my tablet, and one verification I should do to avoid matching to the wrong parcel.
