Frequently Asked Questions
Can I search Ge'ez (Fidel) characters in a searchable PDF?
Yes. The text layer holds Ge'ez Unicode characters, so a search typed in Fidel can match it. Characters that differ by a small stroke can be confused in small print, so confirm important matches against the scan.
Will the Ethiopic full stop and comma be searchable?
Yes. Punctuation such as ። and ፣ is kept in the text layer as written, so you can search across sentence boundaries.
Does the searchable PDF look different from my scan?
No. The scanned page stays as the visible page, and the text sits invisibly behind it.
