Adobe 9 Pro OCR issue

I have been running into a constant issue with using the OCR feature in Adobe Pro 9. When opening a document to use OCR to convert the file to a .doc file, I get an error every time I try. I have tried:
Saving the file to the desktop and opening the file from there.
Starting Adobe Acrobat first then opening the file through Adobe.
Both methods give me the following error:
"Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because: This page contains renderable text.
This page has graphics other than images or text in it and cannot be captured."
There are no images in the file. There is only text.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

With Acrobat 9 Pro you could use ClearScan.
As with renderable characters on a PDF page, ClearScan output can undergo minor edits.
Use Examine Document to remove any previous OCR layer provided by Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact).
There is no practical way to "edit" the OCR output of either within PDF. Exporting to a text file gives you something to work on.
However, it may not go quickly or gracefully.
Use "working" copies (of the ClearScan PDF(s) as you practice.
For lengthy documents you might find changing the Acrobat generated font associated with ClearScan to something else that is available on the local machine.
Remember -
PDF is not a "word processing" format. Never has been & won't be (its now an ISO Standard).
It does not support editing such as can be done with a word processor or page layout application.
Be well...

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Issue: *Changing Position Decreases Brightness*

    Okay, this just doesn't make any sense... Please help me wise ones.
    I have a new sequence with one video track and one clip. If I change the position of the clip, the luminance/brightness decreases! There are no effects applied to the clip and no other layers/nests/etc.
    1. New Sequence
    2. Drap video clip from bin
    3. Change position ==> brightness decreases
    (Effect Controls/Video Effects/Motion/Position Y)
    Please tell me what is going on, and how to fix it.

    Some Sequences allow you to set your Playback CODEC.
    Is this the case in your instance?

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

  • I have paid for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR but it will not recognise a letter in the serial number for me to update my adobe account and any of the programs I have tried using to convert a PDF file on a Mac to a word doc it is converting file with funny sym

    I have been supplied info in an email to copy and paste for a new product purchase "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR" but am unsure how and where to copy and paste to. There is also a link below the serial number. I have tried entering serial number into my Adobe ID but it is not recognising one of the letters in the 24 Digit serial number??? Also I have tried other products previously downloaded to convert a 7 page PDF file on my Mac and convert it to a Word doc but everything I have tried is converting the file to display some text correctly but also displays random symbols and fonts in place of the handwritten info filled in on the form... also getting blank pages included instead of the info??? Would appreciate some help... I am older generation and not always tech savvy, and it is doing my head in haha.

  • Issue attaching files in Adobe Reader from a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended

    Hello all,
    I am having issues- big ones- please help!
    I have created a simple form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 extended version that will be made available in a local drive for our salesmen to open not online or in html format- fill in and send back to their manager and the factory- there are 2 e-mail submit buttons on this form and the user selects which one to send to.
    This form also has a button for save and for print. Everything works great except that the attach a file button I created. It works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in Reader. When you click the button in Reader it compresses but nothing happens.
    I have tried many different things- including extending the rights to adobe reader.
    Also, this form has a password protected security and I have given permission to print, to fill in the form and sign existing signature fields. When adding the security I made sure it said compatible with Adobe 3.0 and later versions.
    I know I have to do the security before I extend the rights to reader and not the other way around.
    Don't know what else to do.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    A.

    I've attempted using Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, but it simply won't allow it.  Are there easier ways to have an online or fillable form, created in an Adobe program, such as LiveCycle or Acrobat Pro, sent or saved in a pdf format? 
    For example: I make a form using an Adobe Program and put it online for people to fill out.  They fill it out and click a button to email it to me.  When I open it, is there a way to see it as a PDF document?
    Thank you for your help thus far.  It has been much  more informative than many of the forums I've attempted to decipher.

  • Issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Version 11.1.10

    Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI version  11.1.10 when I try to delete a page I get an error message, "one or more pages are in use and cannot be deleted". I would like to delete the pages?

    Hi Frank,
    This type of error usually occurs when two or more than two programs are accessing the same file at a point of time.
    Does this issue occur with that specific pdf or with other pdfs too?
    How about if you make a copy of that pdf and then try deleting pages from that copied pdf? Do let me know if that works.
    If possible...Can you mail me that pdf file at [email protected] so that i can check this issue at my end?
    Regards,

  • Video playback issue for Adobe Presenter 9 when publishing to Adobe Connect Pro 7

    Hello!
    I am having an issue with video playback for Adobe Presenter 9. When I preview the presentation on my computer there are no issues with any of the MP4 videos that I have loaded into my presentations. However, when I publish the presentation to Adobe Connect and access the URL the videos are either delayed or do not appear at all.  We are using our own Adobe server which we purchased in 2008, along with Adobe Connect Pro 7. We recently updated our Adobe Presenter software to version 9. Is there an incompatibility issue between Adobe Presenter 9 and our current Adobe Server/current version of Adobe Connect? Or do I need to do something different in Adobe Presenter when importing the videos?  Note: I have tried FLV videos and had the same issue.
    We are trying to launch of series of webinars (each webinar has between 15-42 slides), which was the whole purpose of updating our Adobe Presenter and Adobe Captivate software....hopefully we can resolve this video issue.
    Thanks!
    Dana

    Connect 7 didn't support MP4 video content, as I recall. Another issue is that Connect rooms are using Action Script 2 (AS2) while Presenter 9 uses AS3, and the two code languages don't play well together. You don't mention if you are using the meeting application to display the presentation, but it is worth mentioning. If the presentations are stand alone, then the AS3 issue should be non-existent, but the MP4 support may be.
    Is there a reason you haven't updated the Connect software to Connect 9 (or at least Connect 8.1 where the Connect application became AS3 as a whole and supported MP4 content)?

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended | Print Option | Enable Flash Object Issue

    Hi,
    We are facing some problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended Print Option.
    We had a requirement to embed interactive Flash graphs in the PDF file, user will interact with these graphs and whatever graph he plotted, the data for it will be saved in PDF text field, so that on the next launch we can fetch the data to the flash from PDF text fields, so that user can see what changes he did last time. This works great, we are able to successfully comminicate from PDF to flash and then from Flash to PDF.
    Please note that, PDF can have multiple graphs on different pages.
    The issue we are facing is when we interact with the graphs and then try to print the PDF, in that case only the currently active graph or flash file (The page on which user is currently on) will be seen enabled in the print, the graphs on the other pages, which are not currently visible are seen in disabled state hence the data on it does not get printed.
    We have also used the "RMA.activated = true;" command, still no success. Please refer to the screen shots below to understand the issue in more detail..
    Flash Embed Options:
    In the Print Option, it looks disabled:
    The required/desired output is as follows:
    We want all Graphs to get printed in enabled state and with the data user had entered. Please do let me know, if there is any workaround to achive this functionality.

    Which version. I think it is a minimum of AA9.2 that is needed for X64. Anyway, you should probably either open Acrobat and do the update (help menu) or download all of the updates from Adobe>downloads>updates and install them in order. The current version is AA9.3.4.

  • Microphone Issue using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5

    I have also posted this at the Adobe forums. I'm just hoping someone, somewhere can help.
    I am a recent convert from Final Cut to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, mainly so I can start burning to blu-ray. I am finding the switch a frustrating experience. The latest issue I have is with audio recording. I have an external firewire mic set up that worked flawlessly with Final Cut for two years for recording commentary tracks. Yesterday, I tried recording a commentary track in Premiere Pro, and it worked fine for about an hour, at which point it suddenly stopped. Now I can only reocrd about 6 seconds of audio before it stops recording, and repeated attempts result in a "serious error" and Premiere crashing.
    I have searched everywhere and tried everything I can think of. Restarted Premiere. Uninstalled/reinstalled premiere. Shut down/unplugged/replugged in C-1 microphone. Updated software. Restarted iMac. Nothing works. I am out of things to try, and hoping someone here might have a suggestion. I have tried using the iMac's internal microphone just as a test (since the quality of the recording would be unusuable for my purposes) and Premiere won't even use that for the six seconds it will the C-1.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    So, just in case anyone else is wondering, we never did solve this issue. However, we upgraded Soundbooth to Audition, and were able to move the project there and finish the commentary track. So, that's a workaround, anyway. (A workaround that did not work in Soundbooth).

  • Cursor issues in Word and Outlook after Adobe 9 pro trial download - any advice  - really annoying!

    Hi, have downloaded Adobe Professional 9 as a trial and am looking to buy it (work with a charity). Did use Foxit phantom Pro and had no issues much considering its a cheap copy, but had to change to adobe so it was compatible with a colleagues system.
    So heres what happens, i can now only navigate in a word document using the cursor arrows on my PC, can not click with a mouse in a document to change location or use the scroll on the RHS of the screen, can only scroll down with the cursor keys. Same issue in Outlook documents.
    Getting very annoying!
    can also only highlight text for copy and paste using arrows and shift - not mouse click hold. have to then cut and paste using edit not RH mouse click.
    I run windows vista home and office version 2003,
    help or i'll have to go back to foxit!
    thanks,
    Georgie.

    Hi and thank you!
    I had a trial of Adobe a year ago, maybe more. It did the same thing then i remember. Then i bought the Foxit subscription and completely got rid of adobe and the cursor issue went away. I am 100% sure it was the Adobe download that did it.

  • Adobe X (10.0) Scan/Print Issue (Possible OCR Issue?)

    Hello all,
    After the Marine Corps mandated upgrading from 8.x to 10.0, we've had some issue with scan documents not printing correctly.
    Documents appears to scan normally, just as before, however when we print them- they print with all the text blocked in solid black.
    Playing around with different scanner/Adobe settings, I believe I have narrowed it down to OCR issues.
    Scan to Picture = Prints perfectly (No OCR)
    Scan to Document = Prints with Black Blocks around the Text (w/OCR)
    To me that points to OCR.  
    Thoughts?  Tips?  Fixes?

    Hi,
    I tried reproducing this issue with HP Photosmart Premium scanner but could not replicate this issue.
    The scenarios I tried were:
    1: Scanning via Scan button on Scanner as a document i.e. an OCRed PDF and then taking a print out of that scanned PDF.
    2: Scanning using Acrobat along with OCR using Searchable Image OCR technique and then taking a print out of that scanned PDF.
    3: Scanning using Acrobat along with OCR using Clear Scan technique for OCRing and then taking a print out of that scanned PDF.
    In all the 3 cases, this issue was not visible.
    Could you please let us know your machine details, scanner and printer model you are using.
    And if possible can you please share any file (with OCR and without OCR) for which you are seeing this issue.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro Issues with Maverick

    Hello Apple friends, photographers, and video editors
    Since I installed Maverick, I have the following issues with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6:
    Why in **** did I update before waiting 6 months...
    - browser window flashes on then disapears when importing new files.
    - browser window sometimes shows all items gryed out when importing files.
    - cannot "Link Media" by example multiple TIFF and one EDL file for subtitles. 1st time menu quickly appears then disapears, then all is greyed out.
    I have a mid 2012 Macbook PRo Retina with SSD @ 50% capacity. All else is extremely fast.
    All my Adobe Master Collection CS6 is up to date.

    Suggest you post on the Adobe forums since it's their software you're having issues with.
