Acrobat OCR introduces thousands of errors.  Help?

I am trying to convert a pdf to word 2013 for text editing and spell check purposes. Acrobat Xl pro conversion can render a perfect copy in Word without OCR but, of course the text is uneditable and unreadable by Word's spell checker, but with OCR switched on during the conversion, thousands of errors are introduced which defeats my whole purpose in converting, which is to proof the document via word.  Is there any way to improve the Character recognition or is it hopeless?  Thanks

  • When trying to edit text and fonts in Acrobat Pro 11 I keep getting a message saying acrobat has encountered an unknown error?

    I have just downloaded Acrobat Pro V 11.0.0 and tried to edit an existing PDF file. When I try to do this I receive a message that Acrobat has encountered an unknown error - what am I doing wrong?.

    Hi myarwema,
    Are you using Acrobat on Mac OS or Windows (and what version?). You say you have version 11.0.0, but the current version is 11.0.10, so please choose Help > Check for Updates and install any available updates for starters.
    Does the error occur regardless of the PDF that you try to edit? If the problem is widespread, I would recommend a repair/reinstall of Acrobat (if installing the updates doesn't help). If the problem occurs with just the one document, that PDF could be damaged.
    Best,
    Sara

    Hello,
    When I try to save a form as “Reader Extended PDF” in Acrobat Pro, I get an error message “This document could not be reader enabled”.
    The steps I’m following are described below:
    1.    Insert electronic signatures
    - In Tasks, click on “Add New Field -> Digital Signature”.
    - Move the square to the place where you want to put the signature and click.
    - Fill in the “field name” with the name of the person who has to sign here.
    - When it is done, click anywhere on the screen.
    - In Tasks, click on “Close Form editing”.
    - Go to menu “File -> Save as -> Reader Extended PDF ->Enable additional features”, click on “Save now”.
    - Fill in the file name and click on “Save”.
    2.    Save the Form
    - In Tasks, click on “Close Form editing”.
    - Go to menu “File -> Save as -> Reader Extended PDF ->Enable additional features”, click on “Save now”.
    - Fill in the file name and click on “Save”.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.0.0 on a W7 workstation
    Here's a screenshot of the problem.
    Thanks a lot.

    I can no longer open any PDF after my trial of Acrobat XI Pro finished...Help

    I would try using this tool to first remove all traces of Acrobat from your computer:

    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from

    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

    I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
    I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

    I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
    Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Lion Printer Error

    My MacBook Pro came with Lion already installed. I installed a new copy of Acrobat Pro 9 and it worked fine... including printing to both my Canon Pixma and Brother Laser printers. I installed Lion 7.1.2 update and when I tried to print an Acrobat file I received an error message with both printers in the printer dialogue box. Example below. When I click the resume printer arrow there is a momentary shift to where the doc should print but then it goes back to the error state.  I cannot print an Acrobat file from either the File>Print menu or internal Acrobat>Print. Printers work fine with all other applications.
    I reinstalled OS X 7.1 and Acrobat again printed without a problem. I had to reinstall 7.1 (don't remember why I did THAT!) and Acrobat stopped pringting again! I have reinstalled Acrobat several times as well as OS X 7.1 but Acrobat will not print. Everything else in Acrobat works. I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9.2 but it does not print. I guess I could try OS X 7.2 again. Any suggestions?

    Oooops. Screen shot of the printer dialogue box did not print. Sorry abou that!!!

    This may sound crazy, but download any free app.  This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

    Cannot download the latest update 7.1.1 even though plugged in and on wifi keeps saying error help!!!!!

    I am not getting an errr #. It just says that there are purchases on my ipod, not in my itunes. I transfer all of my ipod purchases into itunes. Then I try an download the new version of my ipod 7.1.1. It still says there are purchases on my ipod touch. So I just hit continue because their are not purchases on my ipod, that aren't in itunes. It extracts the software, and backs up ipod. Then itunes just closes. When I reopen it I get the same message A new iPod software version (7.1.1) is available for the iPod “My" iPodl”. Would you like to update your iPod now? My imac has recently been restored to as new, I have the newest ipod touch, and my version of itunes is also the newest version. The only thing that I can assume is that the problem, is another untested & bad update, from Capn Cook.

  • Trying to uninstall Acrobat 10, I get an Error 1316. The specified account already exists

    I am a new Creative Cloud Subscriber.  I tried to install Acrobat XI Pro and received an error during the installation.  I contacted support, and they had me uninstall the partial installation of Acrobat XI, and then reboot the machine.
    After the reboot I attempted to install Acrobat 11 from a full version that I downloaded from the Adobe website, based on the information provided to me by support.
    That did not work and while the software was trying to uninstall Acrobat X I received an Error 1316, and it quit.
    Now when I try to remove Acrobat 10, I get the Error 1316 The specified account already exists.
    What do I need to do to uninstall Acrobat 10 and Install Acrobat 11.
    EJ

    You will need to repair AA X before you can uninstall it. AA XI typically breaks part of prior versions in that removal of AA XI, removes those parts of XI the overwrote parts of X and thus X is broken.
