Corrupt Scanned PDF files

I scanned a form from a Brothers 5840CN MF and it could be read by Adobe Reader X.  New scanned files are now corrupt.  Is there a  problem with Adbobe Reader X?

If your earlier scans can be opened with Reader X, but new scanned documents cannot, I can only conclude that something is wrong with your scanner software.

    I have properly set up the digital filing to a network folder.
    when I scan a documet a PDF file is generated in the network location howver it is 0 bites in size.
    please help me.

    Hi @kitesquid,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g, does not save a scanned PDF file on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    To verify the printer's hardware is functional, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original.
    In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know the results!
    Hope to hear from you soon!

  • How can users who have Acrobat Reader only save scanned pdf files so that the text on them is searchable using ctrl-F?  I just use the recognize text with ocr feature in the full version of Acrobat and this seem to do the trick. Reader doesn't work!

    Our users have scanned pdf files they want to be able to search using ctrl-f.  I got them to be searchable by doing a recognize text using ocr with Acrobat Professional vesion 8.  They want to know if they can make the files searchable with Acrobat Reader only or if they need the full Acrobat Professional software to make the files searchable.
    Thanks for the help!!

    To clarify a bit they need to have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Reader has not been associated with the Acrobat name for 3 or more versions. The process you are asking about is a creation process - the purpose of Acrobat - and NOT a reading feature.

  • How can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe 9 pro ?

    how can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe acrobae 9 pro ?

    With Clear Scan you get the text replacing the graphics of text. That can be edited. If you do searchable PDF conversion, you can still edit (I think). However it is an edit of the hidden layer of text behind the graphic and does not show on screen normally.
    Usually the best choice is to ask the author for the original file to edit. If that is a copyright issue, then you should not be editing anyway.

    You can use PDF Buddy, the online PDF editor that makes it easy to add text, images, and annotations on top of scanned PDF files.

  • Scanned pdf file-how to edit/translate

    Hi,
    I am not very good at working with computers/but pretty good at messing them up...Anyhow, I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and I received a file that I need to translate into my own language (my own translation, no need of computer aid in translating), it is a scanned pdf file. How do I manage to put a cursor in a file like this? Do I need a "character recognition" something software or is it so easy that I can't figure it out?....Thanks for any help/advice you have regarding this,
    Anne

    learn the best thanks to edit a PDF file that originated from a scanned document. This multi-step method involves running Text Recognition (OCR) on your scanned document initial then victimization the new Content written material panel tools in athlete XI.

  • Unable to view scanned PDF files

    I registered for Adobe ExportPDF in February. Since then Adobe on my PC was upgraded, and now I am unable to view scanned PDF files. What can be done about this?
    Thanks

    Hi David
    The update that was done in response to a prompt was done to 10.1.9. Something apparently went wrong, because when I uninstalled it and reinstalled 11.0.06 everything worked fine.

  • How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this

    How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this, but I do not see any instructions how to do it.

    Hi,
    When using Adobe ExportPDF online service, it will run OCR itself when converting any PDF to other file format.
    It also depends upon the quality of the scanned document, so it might be possible that it does not make the file searchable.

  • Scanning pdf files to iphoto

    I've been scanning pdf created files via fijitsu scan-snap into documents, then printing into iphoto to store documents into smart albums. When I tried to scan pdf files to iphoto, they are not recognized-I can only print pdf files. Any work around that's not more complex?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto doesn't support pdf files, only image files. These might be of interest:

  • Unable to open scanned pdf files today.  Was able to before.

      Today when attempting to open scanned pdf files which opened successfully yesterday, this message appears:
    "Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported."
    As I mentioned this was not a problem yesterday.  Suggestions? Thanks!
     

    If you are trying to open a file in paint, why are you posting in the Adobe Reader forum. Paint is an MS product. Since you have a pdf file, try opening the file in Adobe Reader using the File->Open dialog box. That should work.

  • I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel.

    I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel. I do not get the columns and rows to align, just a single column of everything. Any suggestions?

    Export makes use of what is "in" a PDF.
    Good export is the "silk purse" and, ya know, you canna make a silk purse from a sow's ear (which is what any scanned image in PDF is with regards to export).
    The quality of export is dictated by the quality of the PDF. We are taking about the "inner essences" of the PDF (e.g., degree of compliance with the PDF Standard - ISO 32000-1).
    So, what goes in goes out or "GIGO".
    This has nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat's export process.
    A well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant to ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) provides a PDF that proactively
    supports content export by Acrobat.
    To get the good stuff from export you start with a well-formed Tagged PDF.
    Goodstuff In — Goodstuff Out
    or
    Garbage In — Garbage Out
    "GIGO"
    Be well...

  • How do I connect to a scanner and scan PDF files

    My Mac is about two years old, and I have an H P wireless printer.  I can print wirlessly, or hook up a printer cable and scan in pictures using capture, a program on the computer.  But how would I scan in a file and make it a PDF file?  Thanks, Grumpy....

    Hay this worked.  Your better than the One On One guy that I use.  Many thanks, don't need to keep old windows unit around any more.  Thanks again, Denny...

  • Can't print scanned pdf files  Xerox 3450  Adobe Pro and Reader 9

    I have a user that cannot print PDF's made up of scanned images to a network printer.
    The job goes to the printer and spools up but hangs at either 64kb or 255kb and then errors out.
    Even if I print just one page, it does the same thing.
    Folks with Acrobat Pro 8 or Reader 8 can print the same file to the same printer with no problems.
    OS: XP
    Network Printer: Xerox Phaser 3450 PS
    Adobe:  Reader 9.1.3 and  Acrobat Professional 9.1.3
    I have tried the following:
    On the Xerox 3450 PS Printer:
    - disabling Advanced Printing Options
    - changing Post script options to: EPS, optimize for speed, optimize for portablity
    - reloading the printer drivers
    - unmapping/remapping the printer on the customer's system.
    In the Reader and Acrobat Pro print options:
    - print only Document rather than Document and Markups
    - print as image
    - unchecked 'convert to true type1'
    - changed options to Send for each page, send by range,
    - tried using Language level 2
    - reinstalling Adobe Reader 9
    This happens once the customer is upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.  If I disable the 'Advanced Printer options' he can print OCR/Text PDF files but cannot print even a single page Scanned image PDF file. The spooler hangs at 255kb and then the print job errors out.
    I confirmed this  same issue on multiple machines and on other Xerox 3450 printers on multiple print servers.  It is the same for Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
    The machines and  users are in different parts of the country on different print servers but the symptoms are the same: after being upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.1.3 or Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 they cannot send certain PDF files (so far just scanned image files) to a Xerox 3450 PS network printer.
    Any suggestions on what to try next would be appreciated.

    This problem plagued me for several weeks, until I found a solution that has allowed me to print scanned documents as quickly as a text document.
    I have confirmed this worked on several network X3450 printers using Adobe Reader 9.1.3 and Adobe Acrobat Professional v9.1.3
    In the Reader and Acrobat Pro print options:
        Click on the Advanced button and uncheck "Print as image" if it's checked.
        Click on "Let printer determine colors" to enable this option
        Click OK and Print.
    After making this change, the document queued up and printed as fast a any text document printed.
    I had a single page scanned text document which was about 19 KB, but when sent to the printer, the spooler grew from 10 MB to 50 MB to 80 MB, until an error occurred. Like you I tried many combinations until one worked. Then it was a matter of figuring out which setting was primarily responsible for allowing it to print quickly.
    Most likely the problem is with the raster image processor (RIP) within Adobe Reader and Acrobat. By selecting the option to "Let the printer determine colors", it passes that part of the processing over to the RIP within the printer. Since the X3450 is not a color printer, the information is easily converted to grayscale and printed.
    I'm still trying to absorb the information in the articles I have read so far, and I welcome any discussion about this from those more knowledgeable than I.
    I hope this fix works for you as it did for me. I made a lot of happy customers once they were able to print since most of their documents are scanned rather than created with Acrobat.

  • Scanned PDF files open at 300% size

            I use an iMac with System OSX 10.6, and have Adobe Reader installed.   Today I scanned some documents into my computer using my HP Photosmart  All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier.   When I open the scanned pdf documents, they are huge--300% of normal size.   I am able to reduce the size using the +/- button, every time I close them and open them again, they open at the large size.    Is there a setting I can change in Adobe Reader or Preferences such that files will open at regular 100% size?   Apple Tech Support was able to help me do this by setting my computer to open pdf documents using Apple's Preview application, but there must also be a way to do it using Adobe Reader?

    Go to Reader preferences>Page Display>Default layout and zoom>Zoom and set it for what you want.
