PDNob is an AI-powered PDF editing software compatible with Windows and Mac, offering functions such as text and image editing, file conversion, compression, merging, and splitting. The tool includes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for digitizing scanned documents and AI-driven assistance to streamline processing. It also features a PDF translation function for side-by-side viewing of original and translated text, alongside management tools for annotations, signatures, passwords, and watermarks.

In addressing common user issues where text in PDF files cannot be selected or copied—often due to scanned images, security restrictions, or encoding problems—PDNob provides OCR capabilities to convert image-based text into editable formats. Users may encounter difficulties when content is saved as an image rather than text data, or when low image quality, such as blurriness or shadows, hinders recognition accuracy. 

To resolve these issues, PDNob recommends using OCR technology to convert images into editable text, noting that the software allows for specific language settings. Other alternatives for text extraction include utilizing Google Drive by opening PDFs with Google Docs or using online OCR tools, though users are advised to remain cautious regarding privacy and data handling when using online services. The software is available through free trials, monthly subscriptions, lifetime purchases, and corporate Team plans.
