I am having a hell of a time trying to get OCR to work. Does it not look at stamp objects when OCRing? I have this PDF document made up of image stamp objects and want to make it searchable, but also editable in the future. So I don't want to flatten the stamp objects. Can I just put hidden text boxes myself over the images?
I also want to have additional content (more images) pop out when rollover/button press and also have this content show up in search/find. I am not even sure if xchange does any interactive content like this, or how PDFs handle searching hidden content.
Can someone tell me if my goal is even achievable?

Re: OCR
Hello, wisnoskij
Stamps are classified as "comments" and as such are ignored with the default settings. If you uncheck the option to "ignore comments on page" you will find that your stamps can be OCR'ed. Note that the new text content will always be placed below the stamp. Kind regards,

Re: OCR
Hello, wisnoskij
Since it is below the existing Stamp comments (comment ALWAYS appear above base content), you will want to move or delete the existing stamp comment first in order to edit the text behind it.
In order to edit any base content, simply select the "edit > al content" tool from the home tab, then click on the content in question.
I should note that, this "edit" tool would also allow you to move the content of a "flattened" stamp. So if you are finding that OCR is not sufficient, flattening would still be an excellent option, and would not impair your ability to move the content.
