Normal PDF vs Scanned PDF
A normal PDF (made from Word or a website) already contains real text, so it is copied instantly and exactly. A scanned PDF is just pictures of pages; for these the tool uses OCR to read the letters, which takes a little longer and may have small mistakes. The result shows how many pages were read with OCR.
