Acrobat X and OCR/CJK Support
Does Acrobat X support CJK languages when running OCR? If not, how much is the upgrade to support these languages? Thanks in advance.
When I attempt to OCR a document with the main language as Japanese, the resulting exported text file does not contain the appropriate unicode characters. There are just periods for the Japanese letter forms. Is there another option that needs to be selected?

Acrobat X and OCR Accuracy Issues
Does anyone know if you can assign a custom dictionary to the OCR process?
I have thousands of scanned pages in PDF format that I need to OCR.
When I OCR the same PDFs using another product, I get much better results. Acrobat does not see the same word in the same way twice (swaping "er" endings for where there are "or" word endings). It also misses words that other engines have picked up.
Does it spell check?
I know it is possible to go back and edit, but I have thousands pages to do.
You might also ask -- so why not just use the other product? It does not compress the PDFs the way Acrobat can -- and a two step solution is not desirable (OCR for one part, then move to Acrobat to optimize).
thank you for your help.When I attempt to OCR a document with the main language as Japanese, the resulting exported text file does not contain the appropriate unicode characters. There are just periods for the Japanese letter forms. Is there another option that needs to be selected?

Scanner and OCR don't Work in Acrobat 10.1.7
Up until yesterday, I was able to scan and OCR just fine. Today I realized that e-mailed pdf's did not OCR, instead, I got an "Unknown Error" on every non searchable pdf I was sent. I uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted, etc. and now, not only does the OCR not work, but now whenever I scan from my brother MFC scanner that worked fine yesterday, the scanning processing goes on forever with only black pages showing. For instance, a one page BW scan showed over 10 pages before I exited the process.
Also, e-mailing is much slower.
Interestingly, my Scansnap works fine for OCR (though I'm sure that isn't using Acrobat) and search of pre-OCR'd docs work fine. It's just frustrating that suddenly no docs e-mailed or faxed to me electronically can now be OCR'd.
I've tried printing to acrobat to no avail. I'd hate to have to print and re-scan just for OCR.

I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
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.
Hi Jock,
I've checked your account, and all is well there. Please make sure that you're logging in with the same Adobe ID/password that you used when you signed up.
Then, clear the browser cache, and try logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Disable or Hide Online Support menu option from: Reader, Acrobat Standard and Pro XI 11.0.2
Hi,
I'm trying to make a custom installation for 3 applications: Adobe Reader XI 11.0.2, Acrobat Std. and Pro XI 11.0.2 and most of the options that I wanted to hide are done with the Customization Wizard but I can't hide Online Support. I didn't found yet any FeatureLockDown for this option so far. So our users can still use the Online Support options.
Notice that I tried to drop a script into: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Javascripts but when you 1st open the application it has a delay and somehow you still can access it. But if you try to open it again the menu is hidden.
//HideMenu.js
//Help - Online Support
app.hideMenuItem("OnlineSupport");
But a FeatureLockDown on HKLM hive will be the best way to disable this option as users don't have access to this registry hive and some advanced users with more rights could be able to delete the .js file if they know where it is saved.
I will appreaciate your help to get this FeatureLockDown option if it exists or an alternative way.
Thanks as usual and Kind regards everyone.

Acrobat 9 OCR and "OCR Suspects"
I downloaded the trial for version 9.
Took a poorly scanned page and OCR'd it.
It (expectedly) had a few errors.
Then I selected "OCR Suspects" from menus.
What it should have done is found the "low confidence" results, but
instead, it said no OCR suspects were found.
This used to work in version 8, but I can't get 'OCR suspects' working in V9 trial.
Can anyone confirm if this works in the full version of Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard?It's strange that while I posted to this Adobe forum, there is a response over at objectmix.com. As contributing to this topic from 2 locations seems confusing, I'll carry on here.
Amannagpal76 responded, saying in part that ClearScan in 9 Pro replaces Formatted Text & Graphics. Good to know this. ClearScan does, however, continue the mix. If ocr doesn't work on a character graphic, that graphic will continue to be displayed as such, amidst ClearScan's synthesized type 3 font imitation of the original font. This is most obvious when using the marquee zoom tool.
Aman suggests using the Touchup Text Tool and changing the font to any font installed on one's system. This doesn't work for ClearScan. Selecting a different font in Touchup for a PDF that came via a wordprocessor works fine, but not for a PDF that came via a scan. That, unfortunately, is the only time that ClearScan is used. The error message when I try this states that there's no system font to match the one in ClearScan, and text can't be added or deleted.
ClearScan is remarkable for the small size file it produces. That size can be reduced considerably even further by converting it to the Adobe 7 file format. ClearScan's synthesized font is also remarkable when enlarging the page on screen. Then you can see its true outlines -- rather chewed up in high magnification, but that's OK. It would be nice to extract the font in question and use it on one's system. One downside to ClearScan is that its ocr fails to retain italics when output to RTF and Word.
I have never found a suspect in 9 Pro.
The conclusion from the above is that the hidden text produced by any ocr'ing in 9 Pro can't be corrected. -
VB6 - Confusion regarding Acrobat Version and supported methods
I've got an app, created in VB6, that uses the javascript method "addWatermarkFromFile". It works fine on my machine(s) with Acrobat 7 and 9.0. One of the machines that it has been installed on gets an "Object doesn't support this property or method" error. The machine has had several version of Acrobat on it in the past, but is now running 9.4.1. I added a chunk of code to create the AcroExch app and Show it, and the user reports that it launches Acrobat 9.4.1, so I know it's creating an app that should support "addWatermarkFromFile". Is there anything else I can check? I don't know much about the OLE mechanisms. Could a stray acrobat.tlb file cause something like that?
After further review the problem was NOT related to addWatermarkFromFile, but rather was caused when the app called a javascript function that was implemented by the placement of a .js file in the Javascripts directory. The user is now, inconveniently, on vacation, but I'm guessing either the script is not being created (unlikely) or that Javascript (or some portion of the javascript functionality) is disabled.

Acrobat V9 Pro OCR can't produce a file
I am trying to perform OCR on a credit card statement. The statement has 3 PDF pages and except for the non-regular header info at the top of the page, everything is in nice columns - five of them. I specify the output file to be an excel spreadsheet. The OCR engine works OK on pages 1,3. It chokes on page 2 with an error that it cannot recognize any table OR sometimes produces this message: Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because: This page contains renderable text.
I tried the technote soln to convert to .tiff , but that did not work (actually the instruction are not clear: do you rerun OCR on the .tif file or the newly created .pdf that was made from the .tif file...no matter, I did both, and both failed)http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333110.html
I have also seperated the .pdf doc into three individual files, and OCR'ed page two with same results.
I took page2.pdf, scanned it (not with Acrobat), at 600DPI, and tried to OCR it again, same results.
The page contains a bar code in the margin-could this be killing the OCR process? I tried to edit out some of the noise but can't figure out how to delete parts of the .pdf doc.
Also, I highlight only the colums, select Document-> OCR Text Recognition -> Recognize text using OCR....and it does its thing, says it generates output document, but....WHERE? It does not ask me where it should be placed, and I have no clue where it sticks it.....
Any help is appreciated....

Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions? SecSigner is not responding.
Well, I contacted SecCommerce about the issue, the response was, that I should sign the file later (afterwards). This is a solution, but not the best in my opinion.
When I sign the document the SecSigner window/Java window appears and freezes. Adobe is not responding. I have to terminate Adobe because the program is not responding.
I only found this support website, so I have realized that this is a User 2 User site, but it was a try to get some help. -
Touch-up tool causes font issue in Acrobat 9 and X
While I edit text using the Edit Document Text tool (formerly TouchUp Text) the font style are getting changed, for example If i select the Uppercase style text using Document Text Tool after exit the selection and trying to save as the doucment some characters with in the text changed into lower case. In Acrobat 7 and 8 the TouchUp Text tool works fine. Please suggest a solution to get rid of this issue in 9 pro and X pro.
Hi LoriAUC,
I have attached the screenshots for your reference, How I selected the text and what the problem was occur in the pdf files. Actually this is pdf file which is exported from InDesign as per customer provided export settings. if I change 100% of subset fonts in that export settings(See the screenshots below) I can get rid of the font issues in Acrobat 9 and X pro but I am not supposed do any changes in that settings.
If you want check/analyze the problematic pdf file I can send it as an attachement to your mail ID? if so please let me know your mail ID.
Please let me know if you need any other details or questions to be clarified regrading this.
Thanks for your support. -

Acrobat plug-in.
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
