    What kind of Mac are you using, and what version of the operating system?
    You should be able to select the document that you want to attach and then use the contextual menu (right click in some worlds) to compress the document, producing a .zip file. You can then attach that to the email and it won't appear as a picture within the email.
    If I recall this correctly, the "compress" part in the contextual menu may have a different terminology.

  • How do I search scanned documents that Adobe Reader reads but shows 0 results from the search?

    How do I search scanned documents that Adobe Reader reads but shows 0 results from the search?

    If the scanned document was not processed for OCR, then it is just an image and cannot be searched for text.

  • How do I make a correction to a document that has already been sent out for e-signature?

    I thought I posted this question this morning but I don't see it in the forum so I'm posting again.  I apologize if it shows up twice.
    For example, let's say I have a 40-page document that I need someone to sign. I spend 15 minutes to add all of the "initial here" and "sign here" fields to the Echosign document.
    Then I send the document out for signature.
    The recipient says, "It looks like you missed a spot where I was supposed to initial on the document."
    It seems the only way I know how to fix this now is to:
    1. Void the current document
    2. Re-import the PDF from my computer into Echosign
    3. Spend another 15 minutes inserting all the "initial here" and "sign here" fields.
    4. Re-send out the document for him to sign
    There must be a better way, right?  Docusign says they have the ability for the document sender to make a correction to an existing document and re-send it out, and there is also a capability for the signer to make corrections to the document (which would be initialed by any other signers later)

    Esign services don't allow for red-lining. The assumption is that final approved documents are used.
    So indeed if you spot a mistake which means it voids the contract you indeed cancel the outstanding one and start over.
    To avoid re-doing field do one of 2 things:
    Upload the document as library template and enable form field layers.
    Should you need to start over, upload the document again, but apply the previously created form field layer:
    first under the dashboard use the add template to library
    check the option for Create as reusable form field layer
    upload a document and add fields as needed.
    When you upoad the same or similar document, youcan apply the form field layer:

    or markup the source document with text tags:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/document-cloud/help/adding-esign-services-agreement-fields.html
    this means the form fields will already be part of the document prior to uploading to eSign services.

  • I'm looking for a flatbed scanner than can scan documents that are 11" x 17"

    As the title states, I need to scan some documents that are 11" x 17". These documents are inked comic pages on vellum, which is sort of a thick, semi-translucent kind of paper. I think I'll need to lay these pages flat to scan them, instead of running them through a sheetfed scanner.
    Every Office Depot or Staples I visit has multi-function devices from HP and Epson that can scan this large. However, I've always had issues with devices from these companies, be it driver problems or hardware problems. I've also had a Mustek scanner in the past and it rapidly stopped working. I'm very happy with Canon products and would like to stay with this brand. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear Canon makes a flatbed scanner this large, and it's hard to tell if any of their multifunctions can do it.
    The question is: does Canon offer a product now, or have they offered one in the past, that can scan this large of a document? If not, who can I talk to about product ideas? My alternative would be scanning the pages one half at a time and then trying to join them in Photoshop, but who has that kind of time?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Commercial Printing requires images to be 300 dpi (pixels per inch).
    You will have to do the maths as we don't know how big the images are, whether they fill each size or only part of them.
    If they bleed (go off the edge of the paper) they will need an extra 3/8" (.375") on each edge.
    So for an image to fill the largest size and bleed you need an image 7425 x 11025 pixels. I hope you have a good camera. You can aways reduce the dimensions down from that.

  • Why Won't Adobe Reader Find Items in a Document That Are Clearly There?

    I performed a regular and advanced search of a document for words that I knew were there and Adobe Reader told me that they were not there. I was looking at one instance of the item that I searched for and Adobe Reader told me that it wasn't there but I was looking directly at one place where the words I am searching are located. Adobe Reader tells me that it is not in the document ANYWHERE, which is a lie because I can read and the words for which I searched are there at least once but Adobe Reader tells me that the words for which I am searching are not in the document at all. This isn't the first time that this exact thing has happened to me with Adobe Reader, I am simply tired of taking extra time out of my day to search a document manually when there are supposed to be tools to do that for me. Sorry for repeating my problem twice but I am frustrated and I want to make myself ABUNDANTLY clear. Can anyone help me?

    It all depends on how the PDF was created. One reason text isn't found is because there isn't any text, just an image of text. This will happen with a scanned document that hasn't been OCRed. Another reason is when a font's Unicode mapping table in the PDF are missing or corrupted, which breaks the link between a glyph and its corresponding character code. In short, there is no association between a glyph that looks like an "A" with the letter "A" that you type. If you could post a link to a sample document, we could tell for sure what the problem is.

  • Acrobat help editing text in scanned document

    You would use one of the graphics tools to cover up what you do not want. You have to then use the redax tool to remove what is hidden -- or at least that is my understanding of what you would be doing.
    Actually, you would use the "mark for redaction" tool to highlight text or draw boxes around the areas you want to redact. Then you click on "apply redactions". You may then be greeted by a dialog asking if you want to get rid of some back end information related to what you redacted (like metadata, file attachments, bookmarks...etc).
    It's very thorough so you'd probably want to run it ion a copy of a file until you get the hang of it.

  • Editing scanned document with Adobe Pro

    Is it possible to edit scanned documents that are saved as pdf files? I know the search or find command do not work on scanned documents. Our office is going paperless but there are times that we need to go back to the original document and make changes instead of reproducing the original, making the changes and then creating a new document

    you'd need a good OCR (Optical Character Recognition) application to convert the images to text first.
    After that, you'd probably want to export the text to something like a Word document for editing.
    Most of the time it's easier just to recreate the document.

  • Unable to read or write scanned documents

    I am unable to read or write to my scanned documents that i scanned from my HP 6480 all in one .when i scanned the letter appeared in my documents, but when i tried to open with word they were still uncoded does anyone know how to decode so i can read and write to?

    Hi,
    Unless you are using OCR (optical character recognition) software when doing the scan, the result of scanning a document is only an image, a picture of the document. Since you only have a picture of the document at this point, the only thing that you can do with it in Word is to insert the image into the document. As an image, you won't be able to edit or search the text that appears in the image. You need to run OCR software to examine the image and convert the images of the characters into editable text. If you are already using OCR software, reply back and let me know which application you are using, and I'll try to help you further.
    Hope this helps,
    Ken

  • No permission to open or delete scanned document with HP OJ 4630

    I've scanned things before with no problem, but today, I have a scanned document that I cannot open or delete.  I don't know who has 'permission', as the Security won't say.  I can't change it.  Do I have to keep this on the desktop forever?

    Could it be the scan is still in progress so the file is locked?

  • Scan documents into DMS

    Hi experts.
    Let me present the following question.
    At the client there are a group of documents that arrive in paper format which must be afterwards scanned into to the legacy application.
    It is intended to replace the legacy application with SAP DMS.
    I haven't found any relevant documentation detailing how can a document be digitalized and sent into DMS, if it is even possible at all.
    Does anyone knows of a solution for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.
    JF.

    Hi,
    Keep your document scanned.
    Create a Document Info Records using transaction CV01N.
    Then change the DIR using CV02N. You can attach your scanned document here and save into the content server.
    You can also use BDC to update the documents if you have many scanned document that are to be updated.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Scanning file that is tooo big

    When scanning documents and saving them to a folder, the document size ends up to be 705.10 KB. I want to reduce the end size. How do I do that??

    When I scan my documents, my scanner gives me options-I chose the document to file and saves as a pdf. ( I am not familiar with TIF) Then I just save to a folder on my desktop and rename the file. I can reduse the dpi  but then the scan is not clear and I am scanning documents that I need to be clear. Maybe I should learn about the tif????

  • How to highlight / draw onto a pdf document that is a scanned image, then save the added elements

    Hello
    I'd like to add markings / little annotations or highlight as if with a color marker various sections of a scanned image that has been sent to me in pdf format, which I visualize with Adobe Reader 9 on my PC (Windows). I need to save the changes and then send it back by e-mail to the original sender.
    So far I've been awkwardlky making copies of my screen (PrintScreen function) of each individual page of the pdf document, then pasting them into PowerPoint slides, then using various PPT drawing and textbox functions to add my stuff to the, now, PPT file, which then I sent back as such. This is very time-consuming and ridiculous and there's got to be another way of adding these changes within Adobe Reader or another similar software, doesn't it?
    Again, the pdf docs that I need to work on are scanned images (medical charts), not actual copiable text (pardon my ignorance of the correct terminology to explain this).
    Thank you for your help,
    Falingo 

    So the solutions are:
    1. "Buy Acrobat"....which Adobe Acrobat ?....Stanard, Pro, etc (...obviously I'd like the most basic and cheapest...which one is that?)
    or
    2. "Enable doing that in the Reader"....how exactly am I supposed to do that?

  • When I try to open a document that I have scanned I get a message that says fatal error Acrobat Core

    When I try and open a document I have scanned I get a fatal error messsage that saus Acrobar Core DLL has failed.  How do I correct this so I can open my scans?  This just started to happen, so how can I correct?

  • Can I re-scale scanned documents in Acrobat Pro (can't print drawings to correct scale)

    I have several scanned drawings of my house (originals is pre-CAD) that when printed instead of e.g. 1:400 is 1:330 and 1:100 is 1:130 and similar. This "odd" scale is ok for me personally but not the people at the building inspection department that need to approve the small updates I've done.
    So it would be good to be able to say in a document that this distance should be Xmm when printed.
    The method I'm using now is to use custom scale when printing e.g. choose 87% instead of 100% but this method is very paper and time consuming for several drawings with slightly different scale problems. And I would like to correct this in these pdf-drawings so I don't have to bother with this in the future.
    Is there a way to handle this?
