Can I set Acrobat X to increase the proportion of my PC's RAM it uses?

Can I set Acrobat X to increase the proportion of my PC's RAM it uses, in order to speed up OCR processing?  Currently, it uses up to 25% of my PC's RAM when OCR processing but I would like to increase this in order to complete OCR jobs more quickly.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: a very few programs can use multiple cores. To do this, they have to split up and run themselves as multiple separate programs (in effect). This is only really suitable when either
(a) two entirely different things need to be done or
(b) a job can be split up into a lot of identical jobs, and all done at the same time.
Photo editing and video editing are the obvious cases of (b), since they have to repeat the same stuff over each bit of a picture, and a picture could be done in slices. Making programs run on multiple cores is awesomely complicated (especially if they previously didn't) but it's no coincidence that Adobe Photoshop and (I think) Adobe Premiere Pro - being image and video editors - are out there using multiple cores.
OCR doesn't lend itself to this terribly well (since the entire page is context), but what could work well is a program which is designed to do OCR on multiple files; it could split up and do them at the same time. Acrobat isn't that kind of high end program, however, it's meant for desktop users doing one thing at a time.

  • Can you please assist me in increasing the speed of my server

    hai friends,
    i am using 4.7ee on windows Can you please assist me in increasing the speed of my server.....

    nice hint, but not usefull.
    how you are going to set virtual memory???
    the maximum virtual address space of a process depends on the architecture (32/64 bit) and - if 32 bit Exectuable - on
    - if running on 32 Bit Operating System /3GB and /userva boot.ini options
    - if running on 64 Bit Operating System: max 4 GB
    as long as your application is able to allocate enough memory your pagefiles are sized sufficiently. If you add physical memory, you normaly can decrease the pagefile size.
    1 GB physical is much too less. Depending on the number of users on the server and depending on the SAP Release I would at least recommend to use 4 GB.
    regards

  • How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • HT4759 I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?

    I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?

    To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account.  If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

  • Can i set up my ipad in the same itouch account?

    can i set my new ipad in the same account/place where i currently have my itouch set up? will this affect what i currently have in my itouch or will it see the difference when i connect my ipad and itouch? thank you

    You can use the same account and iTunes library with both - iTunes will recognise that it's a different device and you can then chose what to sync or not to sync. I use my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch on the same computer without any problem.

    Use the same ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both devices and have people use that ID. Your iPhone number would be a good choice.

    Hey NON-TECHNO-WIZARD
    You can do one of two things. The first is to just export out the contacts and import them into each other’s account. If something is updated the other person will not be updated with the information. Now another options is using one Apple ID for iCloud Syncing and then you can still use individual Apple ID’s for store purchases. The article below will shed some light on how you can use the Apple ID.

  • I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

    I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

    The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
    Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

  • How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

    How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

    This works for apps you've acquired, but does not work for built-in features.  I am regularly nagged to update Digital Camera RAW Compatibility (currently I'm being nagged about Update 6.03).  I've tried the method described above - the steps are available, but they appear to have no effect.  I think this is perhaps because RAW compatibility is an element of OSX rather than a separate app.  I don't use RAW format with cameras, and have no need for this feature.  Even if I did, I have none of the 13 camera models listed in this update. 
    It is just a nuisance, but if anyone knows how to suppress this I would appreciate instructions. 
    I would also be curious if anyone can explain why on earth Apple would incorporate RAW camera format compatibility into the core of its operating system.  It shakes my confidence in their operating system design.

  • How can I set a default zoom for the browser (freeze it)?

    Hello, there's an option of using the Ctrl + + to zoom the Web page, but it reverts to the Firefox default zoom in the midst which is very annoying. Generally, I'd like to be able to set a certain default zoom level and then only if needed use the CTRL +/- zoom in and out options. So my optimal zoom level is used for all my browsing unless I change it.

    I have listed 2 add-ons below for you to consider. I have not used NoSquint, but I use and rely on Default FullZoom Level.
    *You can set a default zoom level in DFZL Options
    *You can use the mouse scroll wheel on the Add-on Bar DFZL icon to increase or decrease the zoom or click the icon and choose from the available zoom percentages.
    *In NoSquint, it says it saves the zoom level by web site/page.

    *'''''NoSquint''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    **More info on NoSquint: http://urandom.ca/nosquint/
    You can also set a "Minimum Font Size" in Firefox Options > Content > Fonts & Colors Advanced".

  • Can anyone tell me how to increase the text size in my menu bar and drop down menus?

    Just bought a new 27" screen iMac.  The menu bar and drop down menu text is much to small for me to see without leaning close to the screen.  Does anyone know how to customize the text to a larger size.  This is an issue for any program I open.

    Once upon a time Apple displays packed in 72 dots to an inch (making their resolution 72 DPI). That meant that what we saw on screen at 100% scale was exactly what was printed on a printer - not to mention quite comfortable to read. However that advantage was eclipsed by the fact that photopgraphs and video were pixelated and the only solution to that was to increase the resolution - to pack in more dots per inch - which has the side effect of shrinking the size of text. Where I once used Word at 100% scale I now find it most comfortable at 150% scale.
    There are several solutions. One, as Lex gave you, was to reduce the resolution of the LCD display. But unlike CRT displays, an LCD is tuned to a specific resolution and when you change it the results tend to be blurry. Another is to keep the resolution as it is and to adjust each program (if the program allows it). This makes Word usable and your browser can be set to use no font smaller than a size you set (which has some unpleasant side affects at some Web sites), but some programs and some parts of programs cannot be changed. The menubar and menus are among them. The third solution is one that Apple promised several years ago but has not yet provided - a resolution independant GUI. We can only hope that comes soon. And there's another partial solution - look in System Preferences under Accessibility.
