Converting a scanned document to word

I am trying to scan in a document, then to convert it to word so I can work within it to change/add data. I've tried Acrobat 8, but seem to have difficulty with framing the document on a single page. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Jim

Unless you want to purchase dedicated OCR software such as Read Iris 11, then you may want to post your question on Adobe's forums, since that's the software you're having trouble with.

I want to cancel my subscription, it is not user friendly, when I to convert a scanned document it would not allow me to. I would like a refund and cancel my annual subscription.

I purchased this because I could scan a document and be able to fill out anything with my computer instead of writing everything in. It would not allow me to do this, stating the program I purchased was not capable. I would like a refund and cancel my annual subscription.
Thank you

Dear Sara,
I feel you are selling a product that does not work. Seeing all the msgs stating this, I feel you should pull the product. I got taken - you should refund - knowing you have a product that is defective. I learned - word of mouth is the best advertising you will get and I will post on my Facebook - do not buy from Adobe!
Not mad just disappointed in the product and customer service.
Thanks

Convert scanned document into PDF

I have PDF Pack and am trying to convert a scanned document to PDF and ultimately to MS Word. How is this done?

Hi georges,
If the ultimate goal is a Word document, I would recommend against the additional step of converting to PDF first, if possible. What scanning software are you working with? Does it save in a format that Word can open?
If you don't have access to the scanning software, and saving to PDF is your only option, then you would use ExportPDF (part of Adobe PDF Pack) to convert the PDF file Word. (To convert the file to PDF, choose Create PDF on the menu bar when you're logged in to PDF Pack at https://cloud.acrobat.com.)
Best,
Sara

Convert scan document to adobe acrobat

how do you covert a scanned document file to adobe acrobat

Hi Anthony
If you already have a scanned image, choose File > Create > PDF from File, and select the JPEG or other file you want to convert.
Choose View > Tools > Text Recognition.
Click the 'In This File' option in the Text Recognition panel that opens at the right.
Designate desired pages and click OK. Acrobat automatically applies OCR to the scanned document or image.
Use the OCR Suspects tool to search for and fix any misspellings.

I know only Javascript and would like to convert a large numbers of scanned documents into layers to mount on white a4 canvas

I have got more than 400 scanned documents of A4 size. But they are not of uniform size. Luckily they are all of 300 dpi.They were created on a scanner. When opened in photoshop they contain random patches that are transparencies, although there seems to be no difficulty viewing themon adobe reader.
My laptop had "Gb RAM and does not accept CS4 I have Photoshop CS3. My javascript and photoshop are both limited to basic skills.
I would like to mount each document on a white A4 sized photoshop background of300dpi, as a layer, flatten it out and save as the desired page.
As this is rather time-consuming, I would like to have a script that will perform this task, on a single file.
I would like to manually run this script on each file.
If possible I would additionally like to put the individual pages in a folder and run the script repetetively on all files in the folder.
Any suggestions or held will be gratefully appreciated
thanks, peter

Why is the documents I am scanning and converting to word documents not the same?

I have scanned documents to my computer and when they come up in my Adobe suite, they are spelled wrong. I have 50 pagets of document with hundreds of errors. The original documents are correct. what is my problem?

Reader doesn't have anything to do with scanning. But really, I have read your question a few times and I still can't figure out what the problem is. If you can give more detail about what you are using and what is happening, maybe we can send you in the right direction.

Need Help - Acrobat 9.4 won't open scanned documents

I have a computer in my office that will not open scanned documents in Acrobat 9.4. Acrobat opens but is just a grey screen. Documents that were converted to PDF from Word/Excel/etc. will open just fine.
Adobe Reader 10X is also installed on the computer and will open scanned documents, but user needs to be able to go in and edit documents, so Reader is not enough for him.
Any troubleshooting ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Since scans are images you need to go to Edit > Preferences > Page Display and put a checkmark in the box for "Show large images" This should allow you to see the scans.

ps. Wow, what a user UNFRIENDLY site this is!

In most cases you can just select the text and copy/paste. You can do that unless the file is a picture/scan.
