Acrobat 9.4.4 Pro Extended are there optimum settings for OCR?

PDF's from DWG files, with some graphics on the page, saved as TIFF files...
...and my version of Acrobat Pro 9 (on Win 7, 64 bit) WILL NOT recognize text.
Or at best, only the largest characters on the page are captured. I've tried
re-sizing the TIFF in Photoshop, to a physically larger canvas and/or with
better resolution, but nothing seems to work.
Suggestions?
I checked for Acrobat Updates and there are none available, that I havent' already
installed.
This was a feature that used to run without the least hesitation, or slightest hiccup,
in earlier versions of Acrobat.
What Gives?

I did go to that window and reset the resolution to 350 (what I use) and it caught SOME of the text.
What I've done in the past is print DWG's to a very large canvas. ANSI C or D size, or 11 x 17 at
the very minimum.
Then I've even been able perform "copy to table" when right-clicking text, to save to a .txt file with tab
stops between text columns. (Which can be imported to FrameMaker as tables.)
But it doesn't always work, and as I found out yesterday, no amount of extra work in Photoshop
to improve image and text clarity, seems to make much difference when it comes to Acrobat
handling the OCR function.
It will or it won't, and I don't really have a clue why or why not. It doesn't seem like clarity of
the original file is the source of the problem.
....Oops, Editing this post having remembered...
I might just be working with the wrong Postscript Driver.
A while ago I installed a timed, trial demo of AutoDesk Inventor Publisher. That application
installed a new postscript driver. When I print files to postscript, and then use Distiller to
crank out the PDF, the PS files are identified in the Explorer window as "DWG True View
Postscript Support" files, in the "TYPE" column, between the "Date Modified" and "File
Size" columns.
I've since un-installed Inventor Publisher -- the Acrobat 3D app is much better -- but the
printer driver remains.
Our IT guy hasn't known how to get rid of it, or to update Photoshop from CS4 to CS5,
but that's because the upgrade we purchased came in one language only --- Korean, or
Mandarin, or something with asian characters -- which the folks at the ADOBE Support
site weren't able to sort out....

  • Are there power settings for the aiport card (wifi)?

    Just wondering if there are any type of power saving features i can enable on the macbook for wifi.
    i ask this because i notice that my azereus bit torrent client seems to stop downloading my torrents each time my screen saver goes on.
    thanks

    There are none specific to the wireless card. You could try turning off the screensaver and just set the machine to turn off the display after a few minutes.

  • Are there video settings for the iphone 4?

    Does anyonw know if there are settings that you can change for video on the iphone 4?

    Hey there hondafan53,
    It sounds like your microphone makes you sound muffled to people you talk to on the phone. For that issue, I would use the troubleshooting in the following article:
    If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch
    Test the microphone
    To find out if there is an issue with the microphone itself—and not the app you're using or your cellular connection—test the microphone with the built-in Voice Memos app. Speak into the microphone and then play back the recording. You should be able to hear your voice clearly.
    Fix common issues
    Follow these steps, testing after each with Voice Memos.
    Unplug anything plugged into the headset jack.
    If you're on a call and holding your phone next to your ear, speak into the microphone and make sure you don't block it with your fingers or shoulder.
    If you're using a screen protector or case that covers the microphone, remove it. Clear any debris from the microphones.
    Restart your device.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    If you've tried these steps and people still can't hear you well on calls, contact Apple Support.

  • HT203792 Are there specific settings for the iphone microphone?

    I often sound muffled to others when using my iPhone.  I understand that there are specific settings on the iphone to cover or mask background noise.  Is it possible that I have this setting on and that is why I often sound muffled when holding the iphone between my ear and shoulder and not speaking directly into the microphone?

  • Rotated and Shrunk Printing with Win7x64 Ultimate and Acrobat 9.4.4 Pro Extended

    I am running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, and Acrobat 9.4.4 Pro Extended and have been experiencing problems getting my pdf files to print properly.  For some reason all PDF's printed rotate from normal oreintation and print on only 1/2 of the page, as if I was attempting to print a bi-fold book (the printed page is always follwed by a blank page).  This occurs with a Xerox 6350DP PS and a Xerox 4500DT PS (both of which are Windows 7 64-bit certified and approved.  Latest drivers are installed).  I've checked settings and can't find anything that makes any difference.  Prints correctly on an old HP Laserjet 1320.
    Other programs (MS-Office 2007) have no issue with any of the printers.
    Any help would be appreciated...

  • I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

    I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore.  I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

    QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
    Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
    If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
    Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

  • Using Airplay with AppleTV to share my MacBook Pro desktop is very unstable since upgrading to Yosemite, are there any settings I need to reconfigure?

    I used to use desktop sharing from my Macbook Pro (Late 2011, Intel Core i5) to watch videos on my TV. Since upgrading to Yosemite the stream has been unwatchable. Both visual and audio latency problems are very common. As streaming from my iOS devices is fine, I'm pretty sure it's not my WiFi setup. Has anyone had similar problems? Are there any settings I need to change to improve Airplay from Yosemite?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey MasterAir,
    If you are having an issue with AirPlay performance, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Are there any shortcuts for creating Value Object Classes?

    Hi,
    I'm using a Remote Object to connect to my server
    (pyAMF/Django). I'm getting stuck with the creation of Value Object
    Classes. It doesn't seem very DRY to have a class on my server
    representing the data model and then have to recreate that class
    and all its properties in my Flex app.
    Are there any shortcuts for creating client side VOs from
    server side data?
    I was thinking about declaring an empty VO class in Flex, and
    then dynamically assigning/casting my Proxy object to that class.
    It seems like that approach may cause problems for the Flex
    compiler though.
    Any hints?
    Thanks!

    One thing that has helped me in that area is a free tool from

    You simply install a (very lightweight) Eclipse plugin, add a
    single annotation to your Java VO classes, and it automatically
    generates your Flex VOs. It even creates a base and extended
    version of each VO on the AS3 side so you can add code to the
    extended VO without fear of having your changes overwritten when it
    regenerates your Flex VOs.

  • Are there other options for renting and downloading movies?

    I have watched movies downloaded from Apple a couple of time, but I really don't like the iTunes interface - my main complaint is that there is no way to filter movies so that I can quickly scan for rentals. 
    I rarely watch any movie more than one time, so I have no interest in buying a movie - I only want to rent, and it is a huge waste of time to hunt through iTunes movies one by one to see if I can rent it or not.  It just not worth my time.
    I don't know if Apple plans to fix this shortcoming or not, but until then, are there other options for downloading rental movies to watch on my MacBook Pro or my iPad?  Online streaming is fine, and I use Netflix and others for that, but I would like to get movies to watch on airplanes and other places where I don't have an internet connection.
    Thanks

  • Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

    Hello everyone!
    As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
    Let  me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export  them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
    When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
    Which  is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file  size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
    [Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
    AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

    If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
    Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
    Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
    See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
    "FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
    "FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
    By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

  • Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

    Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

    There will be no further camera support updates for Lightroom 4 beyond what is already listed in this table.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Only current versions of Lightroom (currently Lightroom 5.3) will have further camera support added.
    If you need to work with Raw files from new cameras you'll either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or join the Photoshop Photography Program (to get PC CC + LR5 + extras) or convert to DNG using Adobe's free DNG converter.

  • Are there fewer movies for rent, pushing purchasing?

    Why are there fewer movies for rent via itunes on my AppleTV? Movies that are available for rent thru other services (windows, amazon, etc) are only available for sale in itunes. I don't want to purchase movies, I want to rent them as I previously have done for the past 2 years with my AppleTV. Anyone know what's going on?

    I think this is a better question for the iTunes forums (as opposed to the ATV forums) since it's more specifically an iTunes question.

  • Are there any fixes for iPad 2 with OS 8.1.1.

    Are there any fixes for the iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1?  I've had problems with Safari and other Apps crashing or locking up, and with extremely slow touch response.  These problems have been occurring since the last update.  At times the iPad becomes unusable.  I have been keeping all programs closed and history and web site data cleared.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hi, dannilee,
    I have exactly the same problem. The device was my favorite computer until 8.1.1. Now it runs s-l-o-w-l-y, requires endless reboots.
    To improve the performamce, I have tried these:
    1.Go to Setting->General->Accessibility->Reduce Motion. Turn on.
    2.Reset iPad device settings using Setting->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. Its increase iPad performance little better.
    3.Hold the sleep/wake button and home button upto 8 seconds. This will turn off your iPad. Then turn on iPad. Wait few moments. Do the same thing twice to solve this issue.
    Solution 3 worked for me. And, I always recommend you to backup your iPad first before any action to avoid any data loss.
    Hope it is useful for you.
