Acrobat Pro 9 - How To Get Sum of Highlighted Text

I am trying to find the best way to add numbers from scanned documents. I would like to use the highligh feature to mark the numbers I am going to add up and get a total sum of those combined numbers as I go. Is there a way to do this?
If not is there a way to take just the highlited areas and put them in a line by line so it would be easy to see  just the highlited text?
Expamle Line by line:
$1.50
$2.50
$11.95
ect..
Even better would be to have a line by line of the highlighted text with a sum.

Lots of issues!
A scanned page is just an image no text. So you need to OCR the document.
"Highlight" is a comment and only the highlight annotation and has no content unless a comment text is added to the highlight. So just the highlight over an image or text knows nothing about what is covered but you could find its location.
Acrobat knows only words and location of words on the page. So you would need to have a script to match the location of the highlight's location to a words location. You may need to adjust for rotation of pages.
You then need to convert a text field with numbers as text to numbers.
To display the number, you will need to dynamically add fields and the computed value or the formula to compute the value.
All of this is just to much to cover in a single forum post.

  • How to get sum of highlighted column values.

    Is there currently any functionality that allows you to highlight a certain number of column values in the returned result set and to see the sum of the values highlighted.

    Hi,
    Not directly, sorry.
    You could always try highlighting the desired cells, copy/paste them into a column in a spreadsheet like MS Excel or Open Office Calc, then add a sum function into a nearby open cell. The spreadsheet can be added to SQL Developer's Tools|External Tools menu for convenience.

    I am having the same problem - the install crashes around 40%. 
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.2 and purchased Acrobat Pro monthly subscription.  The error message is: 
    'Acrobat installer has encountered an unexpected failure.  Please try again.  If it continues to fail, contact Adobe support.'
    I have tried several times but keep getting the same error message.  Any ideas?

  • When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare th documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark.  However, I know there a quite a few number of changes.  I raised this question more than a year ago

    When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare the documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark.  However, I know there a quite a few number of changes.  I raised this question more than a year ago, and the response I received had to do with the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents.  However, if I use Acrobat Pro XI to save the same documents in Word and then run a comparison in Word all of the changes are marked.  When a PDF is saved as a Word document in Acrobat Pro XI, is a different OCR module being used than the one used in Acrobat Pro XI for text recognition?

    OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
    Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image  or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
    When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
    When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
    If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
    Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
    OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents". 
    Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
    Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
    Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
    being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
    But - well you've described what can be observed.
    Be well...

  • Acrobat pro properties how to usefull screen mode and keep page display at 100%

    I am trying to create a pdf that will open in full screen mode and be a self running presentation but will display at 100% or at the actual page size and resolution.
    When full screen mode is selected and with 100% selected in the properties or with actual size selected in the properties, when the pdf file runs on large screen monitor it enlarges the page display so it is no longer at 100% of size or it actual size (pages are set up at 8.5 by 11 inches full screen mode on large 20 monitor make them enlarge).
    Is there setting combination that can use the full screen mode and thus use the self running presentation but still maintain the image display size and correct resolution 100% at 72 ppi.

    Not having problem with the pdf file autostarting, there are no movies or sounds in PDF file only transitions with auto flip are used. My issue is getting the file to display at correct size and resolution with the full screen mode also turned on in the document properties (running acrobat 9 pro on mac os 10.5.8). Using 100% or actual size or fit page in the initial view setting seems to not effect this when the full screen mode also is selected. I want the file to display at its correct size and resolution, I thought that using 100% vs actual size would make the file display at its 8.5 x 11 size or what ever size is used regardless of monitor size it is displayed on. PDF file seem to do this when the full screen mode is not used.
    I thought that I had gotten this to work with full screen mode before, maybe this has changed with acrobat pro 9 on mac?
    It seems there is no way to affect the display within the fullscreen mode. So for example if you set in document properties under the initial view the magnification to 50% when the the full view mode is checked it overrides this magnification setting this seems to be so if using the actual or the 100% setting. Yes the 20 or 27 inch monitor displays it larger and also distorted because the file resolution is intentionally kept at screen res 72 ppi because I need to maintain a small file size. This is not what I want to happen. I thought there was a way to control how the file displays when using the fullscreen mode. this is my making me crazy issue.

    Actually what you are seeing is what it shows on your monitor. and will be different for each person's monitor. 100% on a 15" monitor is going to show much smaller than on a 27" inch monitor.
    As for the autostart. On Macintosh only sound and movies are allowed to autostart, and even then only from computer or if your using Quicktime , or possible for music iTunes. PC's are the ones that allow anything and everything to autostart. I don't know if its as big an issue now oas when Apple begaan the policy. But it was apple actually looking after the users best interest. You see a lot of Virus, Trojan Horses, worms, and other malware were installed using autostart commands so Autostart simply does work  Now you could create a PDF to be burned on a DVD and sent to people, That can be set to AutoStart. but it would fail for your mac users.  it doesn't take but a second for a person to click on a PDF to run it.

  • Once you create a printable form in Acrobat Pro 9, how do you add a submit button?

    I have created printable PDF forms, but don't know how to add a submit button so they can be filled out and emailed. Currently if the people filling them out only have Reader they can only be printed out. They cannot be saved, and they cannot be emailed. Can the submit functionality be added in Adobe Acrobat Pro, or do you have to do that with a third party software?

    Yes, you can use the Extend Features in Adobe Reader, shown here but grayed out since I don't have a form open.
    When you do that, the people filling out the form will be able to Save a copy of the form for themselves and to forward a copy of the PDF to you. You might want to make a copy of the form first if you might have to make changes in the future since the Extended form cannot be edited directly.

  • Acrobat Pro 11 - How to suppress default application pop-up

    We've got the Creative Cloud desktop apps license, so I used the creative cloud packager to build an Acrobat Pro Package. I just deployed the pkg to a test Mac OS X system with no problems. Since this is for a school computer lab environment I need to suppress the pop-up box that says "Adobe Acrobat Pro is not the currently configured to be the default application for PDF Files. Would you like to make PDF files open with Adobe Acrobat Pro instead of Preview?" (See below). I do not want to change the default application, and most importantly I do not want users presented with this pop-up. I combed through the com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences and nothing's jumping out at me. I've read through a lot of the documentation on this site and can't seem to find a list of all of the keys, sorry if I'm missing something obvious, and thank you for any help.

    That is an OS setting not an application setting.  There are utilities that can help you do this but you probably will need to write a she'll script to do it.  This link might help explain what needs to happen but you will need to create/write the script on your own.
