Google Docs Gets PDF Search
March 8, 2012
Short honk: We learned this morning that Google has added PDF search to Google Docs. “PDF Search and Comments Features Added to Google Docs” said:
Google added a feature to Docs that lets users search for text inside PDFs in their documents list, thanks to optical character recognition technology. That has been extended so that users can now search for and copy highlighted text when they open a scanned PDF, such as a fax or a receipt.
You can get more information from Google’s blog post, but these are too upbeat and cheerful for a dour, addled, old goose.
