Acrobat X Pro does not recognize system font

I scanned a document to pdf, opened it in Acrobat X Pro and then applies OCR to the image by clicking Edit in the OCR dialogue and chose ClearScan. I then went to edit the text, but when I clicked on a selection, a TouchUp dialogue box popped up stating, “All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.”  The font used in the document was Arial 10 pt. Does Acrobat not recognize that font? Is there any way to edit this pdf's text?   

I still haven't got a sense of what exactly you are after, since you are not only talking about settings with visible OCRd text. But my results partly support yours, partly not. My tests were with Acrobat X, your mileage may vary.
OCR with searchable image... the image contained standard fonts, which I could freely edit. No problem, except of course that the results didn't change on screen. I could also correct OCR suspects, which is the editing Adobe are expecting you to do.
OCR with cleartext... the image contained generated fonts, which I couldn't change. I don't see this as a security thing, rather that Acrobat has generated synthetic fonts which match the exact appearance of the scan, and has no idea what the original font was. I can't edit these, because I don't have the font. (If it let me edit them I suspect it would fail horribly, because the generated font will only contain the letters it believes to be there, not other ones you might need). I can, however, select the text and change the font, then edit the results. There were no OCR suspects, which I find a little odd for the same original, but the OCR was indeed more accurate.
By the way, I may not have made this comment: editing PDFs is sometimes possible, but it should always be thought of as a desperate last resort. Just be happy the few times you can use it, don't expect much or anything, and you won't be disappointed. If you want to edit scanned text (as opposed to correct OCR) don't scan to PDF.

  • My Adobe acrobat X Pro does not respond after a minute I open up a pdf file

    I recently have installed Adobe Master Suite CS6 Collection. My Adobe acrobat X Pro does not respond after a minute I open up a pdf file. This happens every time when open a new pdf file. My operating system is Windows 7 pro ( Lenovo-64 bits). Any suggestions would be appreciated !!

    Thank you for the suggestions.
    I checked the WIndows log files. It reported the following error:
    The program Acrobat.exe version 10.1.1.33 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

    I ran for the memory diagnostics as it showed the error with video card error. My NVDIA graphics card is not working properly. Do you think that could be a problem?I am running on Windows 7 64 bit computer. It also complains about the incompatibility with 64 bits.
    Thank you.

  • Acrobat X Pro does not open, gives fatal error - "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command"

    Acrobat X Pro does not open and gives fatal error - "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command"
    It either does the above or the application starts and is listed in the system processes but never physically opens on the desktop for viewing.

    AA 9 will not work for anything but the print function from WORD 2010. The only version of Acrobat that is compatible with OFFICE 2010 for PDF Maker is AA X. Thus, open WORD and print to the Adobe PDF printer. Then open the pdf in Acrobat. Go to FORMS>Add or Edit fields. Since you have no fields at present, Acrobat will ask if you would like to detect form fields. Answer yes and you will get a first cut at the form fields. Yes, you will likely have to add some more and change the ones that Acrobat estimates, but you are on your way.
    The other two options you have is to go back to WORD 2007 or earlier or upgrade to AA X (or find someone with AA X and WORD 2010). These methods are pretty much your options with the software combination that you have.

  • Adobe Reader XI Pro does not recognize Samsung Multifunction Xpress M2875FD. I can not edit the PDF documents that I scan it. What do I do?

    Adobe Reader XI Pro does not recognize Samsung Multifunction Xpress M2875FD. I can not edit the PDF documents that I scan it. What do I do?

    We need to find out what you actually have here. There is no Adobe Reader Pro. There is Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    With Acrobat Pro, you may be able to do some editing after running OCR. With Adobe Reader, you cannot edit.
    Which one do you have?

  • My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

    My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

    I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not.  It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue.   I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that.    I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software.  On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

  • MacBook pro does not recognize my WD external hard drive anymore

    I use TIme Machine on my WD external hard drive. Everything was working great up until about a month ago. My MacBook Pro does not recognize my external hard drive anymore...I have done nothing differently than usual. I did search in previous discussions and tried rebooting both the hard drive and the computer.
    The USB port is fine as it does recognize another external hard drive and also pen drives....Please help! I haven't backed up in a month and need to figure out how to get this to work soon. Should I call WD?

    Does the WD drive show in Disk Utility?
    Many times, a USB port simply cannot provide the power a hard drive needs. It is not uncommon for any electric motor to draw more power as it ages. A drive that worked before can stop working when it gets older because age has made it tak more power than any USB port can supply. There are a couple of cheap things to try:
    1) A "Y" USB cable---two plugs go to the computer and one to hte drive, giving a power boost.
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    2) a POWERED USB hub. That takes the power delivery burden off the USB port so it can deal with data.
    WD bare drives are fine but their enclosures are not very Mac-friendly. One thing that has reported helping is to get rid of the proprietary formating that WD puts on their drives. If you don't have to share the drive with a Windows computer, use Disk Utility to erase and reformat the drive to Macintosh Extended Journaled.

  • Acrobat X Pro does not install PDF toolbar in Firefox, but does in IE.  How to fix?

    Also, I see that Acrobat X Pro does not install all plugins.  There are several that I want shown as not installed.  But how can I get these installed, as there is no button to say "install this"??

    Got a partial fix - In Firefox, the Adobe PDF Toolbar gets installed in "Disabled" mode.  To enable, go to "Tools->Add-ons->Extensions", select "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF" and enable it.
    Now, as for the rest of the Acrobat plugins, I'm still trying to find a way to enable them.  Any ideas?

  • My Mac Book Pro does not recognize the presence of a DVD or CD

    Ever since I upgraded my MacBook Pro, it does not recognize a DVD or CD of any type when I put it in. I have a store bought DVD, the Social Network, which worked fine before upgrading to OSX operating system. Music CD's were okay then, too. Now, neither is even recognized by the player. Thought maybe it needed to be reloaded, but na't figure out how to do that. This is very frustrating, and makes me start to second guess my decision to switch to an Apple product. I've only hd this computer about 18 months, did the upgrade last September (?) and have had difficulties ever since. HELP me please!!!

    Use Apple Hardware Test
    Open the Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choose Print to print these instructions.
    Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard, mouse, display, and speakers. If you have an Ethernet cable or external DVD drive, disconnect them.
    Restart your computer, holding down the D key while the computer restarts.After your computer restarts, you should see the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen. If you don’t, Apple Hardware Test may not be available on your computer. You may be able to start Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Reconnect your computer to the network, and then restart your computer while holding down both the Option and D keys.

  • Why mac os does not recognize arabic fonts

    in mac pro using lion os does not support arabic fonts except one font and not like mac photoshop w` recognize a lot of arabic fonts
    why and how to solve

    That does not sound correct.  Lion comes with 7 Arabic fonts supported by Apple apps:  Al Bayan, Baghdad, Damascus, Deco Type Naskh, Geeza Pro, Kufi Standard, Nadeem.  Plus a few others which should also work in TextEdit.
    What apps are you trying to use?  MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic.  Instead of that you should use Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice.  For Adobe apps for best results you should use the special ME Version designed for RTL scripts.

  • Final Cut Pro Does Not Recognize New External Hard Drive

    I am editing a large video project and I had to buy an external hard drive. When I go into FCP, it does not recognize that I now have a lot more room to store media. How do I get it to recognize. Please help! Thanks.

    I can see the new disk on my desktop. What do I change in "Preferences" exactly?
    In Final Cut pro - System Settings - Shift Q...
    You can add it to your list of scratch disks... (which, BTW, should NOT include your system disk)
