Here's a trick to teach you, you can completely remove the gray background of the PDF scan, the background color white, so that the text content becomes clearer, improve the print effect.

1. Many scanned paper documents have gray background, yellow background or shadow, which will lead to unclear text content, especially when viewed on a large screen. Therefore, we need to turn the background of the PDF scan into pure white and deepen the text color to make the content clear and readable.

Turning PDF scans into black on a white background can improve the printing effect and make the printed documents cleaner and more professional.

If we want to do OCR text recognition on PDF scanned documents, gray background or shadow will seriously interfere with OCR, resulting in failure to recognize or many errors, so we have to spend a lot of time to adjust and modify. After the gray bottom of the scan is removed, the clarity and contrast of the text can be improved, making OCR recognition easier.
