PDF Normal -- Text of the document is fully searchable. This format produces the smallest file size.
PDF Image + Hidden Text -- Creates a combination of the document image with embedded text. The reader sees only the image, never the OCR text. Text is searchable, and minor editing is possible. This format produces the largest file size.
