Turning document scans into searchable PDF files with the Android OCR Module
You can use the SDK's built-in PDF generator together with the OCR Module to create searchable PDF files, using either an existing Document object or an image file.

You can omit the PdfConfiguration parameter to use the default PDF settings. In this case, PdfConfiguration.default() will be used. It has an empty PdfAttributes, PageSize.CUSTOM as the page size, and PageDirection.AUTO as the default page orientation.
The details of PdfConfiguration can be found in the SDK's API documentation. Please refer to the API references for the OcrResult class for more details.
