Can I use the OCR of the Officejet 6600 on pdf files without printing and scanning them?

Product name: HP Officejet 6600 All in one
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
After scanning hundreds of pages to pdf format with the printer, I have realized that using the OCR scanning feature would have served my purposes better. (I don't have the originals). I would like to run the OCR on those scanned pdf files. Technically I could just print and rescan them all with the OCR feature, but that would be a huge waste of ink, paper and time. Can I run the built in OCR on pdf fles?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @tahilaci ,
I read your post and wanted to stop in and reply to you! I am really unsure if there is conversion software somewhere out there, but if there is, you may be able to convert the files, if not, you will have to re-scan the documents. You might be able to highlight the PDF text and paste it into a Word document, otherwise, there's no alternative.
Best of luck to you!

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod

Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod touch

No offense, but that's nice. I heard I was wrong and that what I said didn't make sense, so I simplified it. If I'm wrong, fine, but you have no reason to be such a *****. You never explained why I was wrong and you were right, so how am I or anyone else suppose to know that for sure? Then I tell you my source, and you insult me some more and then ask for my background, which as for this area goes, I already gave you. I worked at an Apple store for Christmas and was told by someone on the Genius team to tell customers not to charge iPads via iPhone chargers, as they had been known to fry the adapter or in one weird case, the actual outlet. Now I could see the outlet blowing be a bunch of other contributing factors, and not directly associated with the charger. However, the topic arose when a customer came in because her iPhone wall adapter didn't seem to be working, but wasn't that old, and admitted to charging her iPad with it. Why would I NOT believe that?
And my DEEPEST apologies on commenting on old threads. I know how vital that is to existance and what an inconvenience it is to EVERYONE else. I'll be honest, I wasn't checking dates as I assumed suggested posts with like one answer near the top of the list were newer.
Fine, I did something foolish, but I still win as I'm not either of you heartless ****** with nothing better to do than Internet harass others. Congratulations on your existences.

Hello djensen1x,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
Hope to get your response.

How do I import an image directly from the internet without printing and scanning it in first?

How do I import an image directly from the internet without printing and scanning it in first?

You can also Ctrl click on the image, save the image to your desktop and open it in Photoshop.
1.
2.
3. Open in Photoshop by double-clicking on the saved image on your Desktop or Cmd o in Photoshop.
I don't see any point to copying and pasting from a browser into a new file in Photoshop.
If you want to put an image onto an already open image in Photoshop, use the File > Place... command and select your saved image.

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

Can I use the same nike+ sensor with two differet Ipods and register the trainings in onmly one account?

Hello, I would like to know if I can use the same nike Ipod sensor with two different ipods. I want to use the same sensor sometims with an Ipod touch and sometimes with an Ipod Nano, I want my trainings with both Ipods to be registered to the same account. I want them to be registered to only one account, not as it had been used by two different people.

Of course. You should use the same AppleID on all your devices. Why would you create a new one?

Can I use the same drive to backup with Time Machine and Windows Backup?

I've got a 1TB external hard drive that I'm currently using for Time Machine backups and also it stores about 300GBs of music. Can I partition the drive to add an NTFS formatted partition and use that partition with Vista's Backup/Restore feature? If so, how do I partition the drive? Forgive me, I'm a neophyte when it comes to Windows. Also, I don't want to lose the music files already saved on the Time Machine partition.

While you can add HFS+ volumes to an existing drive, adding NTFS requires taking chances: change to FAT and then convert to NTFS.
I'd invest in another backup. I don't even rely 100% on any one backup method; drive; let alone TimeMachine. A bootable backup should also be part of your strategy for OS X. So I would create a smallish 40GB emergency boot volume - for OS X use only.
For Vista, I use the built-in features of Ultimate/Business AND Prosoft Engineering DataBackup PC. Norton Ghost started out okay but gradually deteriorated, though their 2009 360 2.0 or something....
I would not want to use WinClone except as one-time 'snap shot' or emergency; useful when moving to a new larger hard drive, and if your Vista partition is small and not 100GB of files.
I'd look at 500GB+ drive to use solely for Vista backup and media files.

Can I stop the Officejet 6000 from calibrating after each print job?

Is there a way to prevent the Officejet 6000 from calibrating after each print job? The process is loud and prolonged. The print quality is fine but it makes too much noise. I have not seen an answer to this in any forum. I hope one of the pros or expert can help.

This servicing will occur after every print job. There are no methods to stop it or decrease its cycle time.

How can we get the artset from a .ai file without opening it?

Hello All,
I have one .ai file, lets say sample.ai file. located in C drive. so the complete file path is "C:\Sample.ai".
and lets assume the sample.ai file has one traingle shape(3 path type arts) in it.
Now I want to get the 3 path arts (artset) from sample.ai file without opening it in AI.
The function protoype is like below
AIArtSet& artSet GetArtSetFromAFile( ai::FilePath& filePath );
Is there any API like above function in AI? or is it possible to get the art(s) from a file without opening it in AI?

Not to my knowlege. The API only operates on active documents as far as I know.

Can I use the same sync cord for my 1st Gen and 2nd Gen iPod?

I have to replace my sync cord (house fire) and I wondered if I could buy just one cord to sync both my iPods? I have a 1st Gen and a 2nd Gen.

If they both use the same type of cord, 30-pin or lightning, then yes, you can. There is no difference to the internals of the cords, just the connectors. Just match what you need.

Can I use the same sim card from my iPad 1 and use it in my new iPad 3 4G?

I have been having difficulty getting a straight answer please someone help me. I have an unlimited plan on my old sim that cannot be transferred I'm really hoping I can use the same one

From what I understand the AE cards from the last model PM G5s will go into a MP although I would not suggest you do this as it's not as if you're going to save a stack of money over it. It's not going to support 802.11n connection formats and may not have the correct electrical requirements so may damage your MP.
For instructions, try searching Google.

Perhaps it's the only device that can connect ( ie Hotel wifi)
If the iPhone can connect to the wifi, the computer can connect to the wifi.
Why use the iPhone to connect to wifi then connect the computer to the iPhone via wifi to get the computer onto hotel wifi?
