PDF OCR Batch Cost Calculator accuracy and testing

Formula source

• The calculator multiplies PDF count by average pages per PDF to estimate total pages. Processing cost is total pages divided by 1,000, multiplied by the page rate. The discount is applied to processing cost, then setup cost is added to produce total cost. Cost per PDF is total cost divided by PDF count.
