Can't change OCR Suspects

I'm running Adobe Acrobat Proffessional 8.1.7 on WinXP and doing a lot of OCR Text Recognition on a bounch of pdf's from random scanners and software.
When I run "Find All OCR Suspects" some of the suspects are greyed out - for some strange reason. And that's even though it's undoubtly text! See pic.
This is very confussing! Can anyone please help - I really need to get my work done!

Hi Lars,
When Acrobat's OCR comes across parts of the image that it is not sure of ("suspects") it leaves behind a bit-map image.
Ideally, there is enough "substance" there for us to correct these suspects.
But, as you note, sometimes the "suspect" field is greyed out.
When I've encountered these, they are typically associated with image content that is of a noticeably lower effective resolution
(lighter in "line weight", as it were) and, sometimes, of poor clarity or contrast with the white background.
My take on it is that there's just not enough "substance" there for the software to glom onto.
Often, it appears to be more of an issue with the quality of the source paper
(most times - sometimes, the scanner needs cleaning/calibration) than with Acrobat.
Be well...

  • 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.

  • Can't Change Credit Card Number, told to reregister but can't find reregister button

    Hello,
    Sorry to be a trouble, But I can't change my credit card # (because BBapps will not allow me to log on to control panel to do so. Made the mistake as a 1st timer to assume would ask for credit card number after I purchased Documents to Go.
    Did not ask, but charged the purchase to the CDMA number from former owner of my BBS2. I then erased the downloaded Docuiments to Go as I was not intending to charge some one else's card. Need to change credit card number to square this away. This is my first BB machine and I find that I don't know all the needed things.
    Can someone point out how to reregister so I can add my credit card #
    OR
    Can someone point out how to change the current assigned Number/credit card charge in control panel.(does not allow me in with my password that works for downloading free apps)
    Can still dow free programs, but cannot buy upgrades. Frustrating,  THanks, Ty Parr, Ph,D,

    Hello,
    I am more than willing to pay for the Documents to Go app on my own credit card, the problem is getting to  it. I don't intend to have Blackberry service, but surely this does not prevent paying for and down loading programs for my device, If I will wipe the device without a new CDMA number I suspect that will not allow me to to offer a credit card number and get the Documents to Go program as well as others. Why is it impossivle to buy programs for a blackberry without a blackberry service contract for a CDMA number? This really seems very rigid since the BBS2 is so long out of date. There must be plenty of individuals that are doing this who had the wisdom to give a credit card number when they registered - I did not realize this was required as I routinely buy things on the net AND THEN give CREDIT CARD # to compelete the purchase. Is this some sort of Catch 22 situation ?
    I like this phone and don't want to give it up. If necessary, I will buy a second BBS2 and try to register that WITH A CREDIT CARD number so that I Can use this machine. This an endless Catch 22?   I don't want a CDMA service that is very hard to get outside the USA. 
    Can I register my BBS2 if I have a T-Mobile plan for the CDMA number (which I will never use and for which I will pay for programs with a separate credit card number ?). ?  Otherwise I have a wonderful piece of junk because of arbitraty and rigid rules that are also preventing Blackberry profits as well as App producer profits .  If I can't solve this, I will have to re-examine whether I want this machine that I still really like. 
    Again thanks, If you can help me navigate this seeming endless Catch 22 ! 

  • Can you change the value of a variable that is reset by a parameter?

    Sorry if this is simple but I just crashed a package and can't do an autopsy. I suspect I sent it into an infinite loop. I know you can't change the value of any passed in parameters. What I tried to do was have the parameter set the value of a variable
    and then I tried to change the value of the variable. Is that even allowed?
    I was trying to do this:
    MyCheckVariable = MyParameter (which equals true)
    (some cool stuff happens)
    MyCheckVariable = False
    I hit F5 and my package turned into the Energizer Bunny. Is the way I try to reset the variable the culprit?

    This is a prototype so I just created a project parameter and set it to true. In the real world the parameter will be used to control an optional part of the process because on a re-run after error that part doesn't have to be ran again.
    So when I say MyCheckVariable = MyParameter (which equals true) in reality what I actually have is in the variables window I'm using an expression and it looks like this in the variables window
    name = runDownload
    Scope = Package
    Data Type = Boolean
    Value = True (but greyed out)
    Expression = @[$Project::param_runDownload]

  • Can you change the default font in an iPad mail account?

    I suspect you can't, but just checking: can you change the default font in an iPad mail account?

    There is no way to change the default font in the mail app. You can make the type larger by using the accessibility feature of larger text. Settings>General>Accessibility>Larger Text. There is an app that allows you to add fonts to the iPad, but I do not think this works with the built in iOS apps such as mail.
    You can check it out.

  • How can i change the Director App Icon for Windows?

    How can i change the icon for my App for Windows? Director can do this from the Publish Settings. The Custom icon for app doesn't work. I select a .ico file for windows and Director can't attach this to the app.
    There is anothe way to do that simple like in Mac with the Contest folder?
    Regards
    Gino Delgado

    You can also try my RiEditor here: http://www.director-online.com/dougwiki/index.php?title=Resource_and_Icon_Editor
    However, to answer your original question directly, I suspect there's something wrong with your .ico file as the feature in the publish settings works just fine, last I tried.

    I've synchronized your email address. If you are curious why you were
    having problems with it, it'd documented in our forum FAQ:
    Novell Forums FAQ
    I suspect your problem with the password was because of this and it's
    now gone as well. If you need to change your password, when you go to
    login to these forums, click on the "FORGOT IT?" link. From there you
    can get information on resetting your password.
    If this hasn't solved your problems, let me know. Sorry for the
    inconvenience.

    Kim,
    Thanks for your support!
    The email address is indeed synchronized ;-)
    I've tried to change my password but that doesn't work yet. I didn't test the FORGOT IT way.
    It's not necessary that i change my password but i tried it when i wasn't be able to change my email address
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?

    Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?
    My laptop, which uses Windows 7, came with the hard drive divided between a C and D drive.  the C drive, where all the programs load, is nearly full, and I would like all the photos and videos that adobe elements organizer finds and that I download into load on my nearly empmty and spacious D drive.
    In other programs I can change this is file prefernces, but I cant find that feature in elements.
    Is it possible? and how can I do it?

    Team Ben Hur
    SG will probably have more to say about his reply, but in the meanwhile you might want to check out Premiere Elements 11/Elements Organizer 11/File Menu/Catalog Manager... and the Custom Location option. I suspect that is what both of you have in mind?
    When Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are installed on the same computer, they share a common Elements Organizer (catalog) although they can be purchased as standalone products each with its own Elements Organizer (catalog).

    The same I guess as if your work won't let you do anything - not a lot
    I would hold fire at the moment as I think its too early to be changing router security - I have no inside information but like many I suspect its a combination of firmware updates to routers and a patch needed on the iPad. If solely the latter then it will be fine for you, but if for example, the work routers are using Cisco Clean Connect, then there will be little you can do - it will be up to work I'm afraid.

  • Can I change the store's language? (it takes from credit card country)

    Hi All
    I'm living in the Netherlands with a Dutch credit card but want to use the iTunes store in English.
    The store seems to set the language for your account based on your country of residence and clearly this needs to be right if you use a credit card (so it's authorised correctly). And it's worse - Apps for my iPad will be in Dutch!
    My question is - can you change the language used in your account and the store?
    I'm going to guess it's a No to this question so suspect I have to do something like setup a new account with a fictitious English address. So my next question is - if I use PayPal or enter my credit card details for each transaction, will this give the same problem?
    Thanks in advance to any response!
    OD

    If you wish to run iTunes in a language that is not the default for the country that you are living in (and therefore paying from), the iTunes helpdesk point to this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242 . This article indicates that the iTunes store should pick up the language you have assigned to your MAC, however this is incorrect. iTunes picks up the language from the country you designate you are paying from.
    You can change the country by using the flag button at the extreme bottom of the iTunes home page, however this will allow you to find the things you want, but you must change it back to actually purchase the content.
    If you think, as I do, that this is a fault with their system, the ONLY option you have is to complain to their helpdesk, email address [email protected] If you ask to have the e-mail referred to Ashley, maybe the sheer weight of complaints will get this sorted.

  • HT5163 my original Apple Id Email was hacked.  How can i change my Iphone apple Id ?  ive changed it on my pc and my ipad but cannot do it on the phone (iphone 4)

    My original apple id email was hacked.  how can i change my apple id for my iphone 4. im able to change it for the pc and my ipad but cannot chonge it for the phone

    I had the same problem last month.
    The only fix was to call Apple Support. Basically, the history of the account could be followed and the hacker had changed the email address and no doubt the password of my apple id. The account also showed purchases in £ so I suspect the associated country been changed as well?  Apple support blocked his associated credit card, restored the account back to a date where I had last used it and we then changed the Apple ID to a new email address. I could have used the old Apple ID, effectively regaining control of it, but I wasn't attached to it and it enhanced security by changing it.
    Scared myself last night as my daughetrs iphone had been associated with the old ID and she couldn't access the icloud acocunt. I'd manged to restore her iphone, although it was asking for the passowrd of the hacked Apple ID, I used the password for the 'new' ID (just the old one with a changed email) and it worked. Even after restoring the iphone, I still had to change my 'new' apple id back to the 'old' email so she could sign out of the 'old' icloud account on her phone after the restore and disable 'find my iphone'. Only then could she add her own personal icloud account and I changed my apple id back to the new email. Confused?
    Point is, you will need apple support to regain control of your apple id. If you're not attched to it and want a new or modified apple id, make sure you sign out of all assoicted devices first!  

  • Oh lord, can I change those gawd-awful AddressBook and iCal skins?!

    Oh lord, can I change those gawd-awful AddressBook and iCal skins?!

    I suspect this is only the beginning of the convergence of OSX and iOS, at some point down the track they will probably become one ...
    I'm not a fan of LaunchPad myself and after trying to make it work for me several times have now removed it from the Dock as it's a) buggy as heck and b) too much like a giant iPhone interface for a Desktop screen - perhaps it works for a Fisher-Price toy or the Disabled but it's not for me.

  • How can I change the root folder for .dtc?

    After I installed the DS, I find the root folder for .dtc is my local directory such as:
    C:\Documents and Configuration\WChen\.dtc
    How can I change it to:
    D:\Projects\.dtc

    Gangadharayya. That points to the workspace used by Eclipse. The '.dtc' folder is used if you're working with DCs and, I'm pretty sure, has nothing to do with the Eclipse workspace.
    Wei, just curious. Why do you want to change that path? Don't misunderstand my question. SAP has given me the "Why would you want to do THAT?" response plenty of times whenever I brought up a situation that was different than they way they thought developers would create apps or use their product(s).
    So I'm not asking "why do you want to" because I think you're wrong in wanting to do that. I'm just curious.
    I can't say for sure but I suspect that it might be not so easy to do that. I've installed Netweaver several times and I don't remember EVER being asked for a path for the '.dtc' folder structure.
    From my personal experience, the whole NDS, J2EE engine, install process, etc. is so touchy that once I've got it installed I don't want to mess with it. So I  was just curious if there was some technical reason or just personal preference for changing the folder.

  • Time Machine changed my driver permissions - can't change back

    Hello,
    I've been using my external hard drive for about 6 months to backup my work, never had a problem.
    Today I mounted the drive, as usual, and a window came up asking me if I wanted to use it for time machine backup. I clicked OK, thinking I could backup my new work, then when I saw that I would have to format my drive, I decided it was not what I needed, since I have all my old work in it.
    So I de-selected my drive from the window where it asks which drive to be used for time machine, and turned TM off before doing any operations.
    Since then my hard disk has become "read-only"!! Luckily I haven't lost any of my work, but I am now unable to set the permission back to "read - write". The "Repair Disk Permissions" button is greyed out.. and if I do GetInfo, I can only see it is read only, but I have no option to change that.
    Any idea why time machine changed my settings before I even used it??
    How can I change it back?
    Thank you

    Not it all makes sense. I should go kill him.
    I rather suspect that TM is at fault. TM drives have to be formatted HFS and by what you describe it sounds like it started reformatting the drive when you stopped it.

  • If I chose the wrong folder as defaulf for downloads to go to, how can I change it?

    I use download manager. I hit '''yes''' when asked if I wanted to make the folder shown as the default for future downloads of that type. I did not mean to do that. How can I change the default folder?

    Hi belladonna82,
    You should take a look at the [[Downloads window]] and [[Options window - General panel]] Knowledge Base articles. They will give you all the details you need. Unless you are talking about the default action and not the actual download folder? If so, you should look at [[Options window - Applications panel]].
    Hopefully this helps!
