Document links repositioned after OCR is performed. Is there a workaround or solution?

We use Adobe Acrobat Pro 10. We receive files that have imbedded links which link various parts of the PDF file to each other. It is necessary to complete OCR on this file for future search purposes. However, we have found that performing OCR causes the links to lose their position within the document. The link stll exists, just not in the same position it held prior to peforming the OCR function. Is there a solution for this issue?

Did some trials. A common multi-page PDF containing a scanned document. No OCR. Added a link annotation over the image of a text string; made the annotation's boundary visible.
OCR via Searchable Image (Exact) - observed no change in "position" of the link.
OCR via Searchable Image - observed a "positional shift". Actually, expected this.
Searchable Image not only provides the OCR output it also tweaks the image (deskew, etc.).
Searchable Image (Exact) only provides an OCR output. The image is left "exact" as-is.
So, identify which of the three OCR processes is used (#3 is ClearScan).
You might want to do trials on a common PDF using each and then compare/contrast.
Be well...

  • The document does not have a valid format. (is there a workaround?)

    i searched this one out and saw that a few other people had the same problem with no resolution. i tried "dragging the file into Pages", though that didn't really make sense and nothing happened, that is, the document didn't open. i dragged the file to the Pages icon and got a warning that it couldn't even launch Pages. Opening from within Pages gives me the error in my subject heading. Any ideas on this???

    Which are the infos returned in the infos window got thru cmd + I ?
    Is the "Show package content item available if you 'ctrl - click' the doc's icon ?

  • Forcing "Open cross-document links in same window" to be unchecked

    Hi All,
    I am distributing a PDF document set where there is one PDF with well over a hundred links to other PDFs which are located in sub-folders.
    The set will be distributed on USB thumb drives.
    It will be simplest for users if they have "Open cross-document links in same window" unchecked.
    Is there a way I can "force" it to be unchecked?
    During a test, someone got a security warning: "This document is trying to access abcd.pdf" Allow/Block. Why are they getting that message when there is no Internet request?
    Thanks very much for all thoughts and wisdom,
    David

    It works in an older version 6.0
    Anyone know how to get this to work in the newer versions?

  • Dynamic Link from After Effects CC to Premiere Pro CC Performance Issues

    I just updated my After Effects and Premiere Pro to CC and since doing so I've found numerous performance issues.  One that is seriously hurting my workflow is the poor performance of the dynamic link with After Effects compositions into Premiere Pro.   In CS6, you could make a change to the AE composition, save it, click over to Premiere Pro and it would quickly update and you can play your timeline and preview your changes.  You could also move the clips around and add cross dissolves and watch the changes quickly in Premiere Pro CS6.  Now, since updating to CC, if you save the composition in AE and click over to Premiere Pro it won't update on its own.  Sometimes it just shows a single frame of the AE composition.  I found that if you right click and "Edit Original", go into AE and then click back over to Premiere Pro and it will finally update.   But if you make any changes to the placement of the AE composition on the timeline, or add a cross dissolve, fade, etc. it again won't play the AE composition any longer.  After you make any changes to the AE composition you have to right click and go to "Edit Original", go into AE, and then click back over to Premiere Pro.. Then it will finally update.

    Thanks Kevin.
    Unfortunately in my case the export doesn't solve the issue. The video only looks good while in the composition... I've tried exporting it in all the different formats with several codecs, but to no avail...
    You can check my own post in the After Effects forum: AE linked composition looks different in Premiere

  • How can I get my mail to open and read documents in Firefox after upgrading to Sony Vaio Gatew 2.4.0

    I upgraded my Sony Vaio Gate software to 2.4.0.06210 on Wednesday night. Afterwards, my mail functionality is not working with Firefox. It will work with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox when I try to do the following such as clicking on check mail, open inbox or trying to open any views or documents.
    It will not open, but only states trying to load and indicates the following:unknown property text flow - declaration dropped and it is referencing my mail server in trying to read data from it. However, if I right click and clikd on a new tab it will read in the data and then if i open a new tab again it will open the document. It's not able to stack the data and hold it properly now for some reason. What do I need to do to get it to work with Firefox? Thanks. edit

    Hi Rick,
    do you mean I could get a direct download link to After Effects 11.0.4? So I don't have to run this patch that never seems to work?
    Hard to believe all the Adobe tech support guys I've spoken to wouldn't have mentioned that, I've spent hours and hours on the phone already....
    I will try!

  • Add new document link not working in upgraded sharepoint 2013?

    Hello there,
    Upgraded SharePoint team sites from 2010 to 2013. add new document link not working for shared document in upgraded sharepoint 2013?. it is specially not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this sharePoint server and it
    is working fine with environment  Office web apps not configured with Sharepoint.
    Looking resoluion /suggestion, thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sushil

    Hi  Sushil,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the add new document link was not working on machine where Office web apps set up with this SharePoint server after you upgraded SharePoint team sites
    from 2010 to 2013.
    For your issue, it can be caused by integrating Office Web Apps with upgraded SharePoint Site.
    Firstly please make sure claims-based authentication is used by the SharePoint web application that is used to create the new document. Only web applications that use claims-based authentication can open
    files in Office Web Apps. To determine the authentication provider for a web application, follow these steps:
    1.In SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click Manage web applications.
    2.Select the web application that you want to check, and click Authentication Providers on the ribbon.
    The authentication provider must be displayed as Claims Based Authentication for Office Web Apps to work correctly with the web application. To resolve this issue, you can delete the web application and recreate
    it using claims-based authentication, or you can change the authentication method of the web application.
    Secondly, make sure the WOPI zones match on the SharePoint 2013 and the Office Web Apps Server farm.
    To do this, run the following command on the SharePoint Server:
    Get-SPWopiZone
    The result will be one of the following:.
    internal-https
    internal-http
    external-https
    external-http
    Next, run the following command on the SharePoint Server.
    Get-SPWOPIBinding
    In the output, look for WopiZone: zone. If the results from Get-SPWopiZone don’t match the zone that is returned by Get-SPWOPIBinding, run the Set-SPWOPIZone -Zone cmdlet on the SharePoint Server to change
    the WOPI zone to match the result from Get-SPWOPIBinding.
    If not work, you can try to disconnect SharePoint 2013 from Office Web Apps Server and re-configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint 2013.
    For more information, please refer to the article:

  • How do I scan a page to a document? What is OCR?

    Some printers support scanning to editable documents right out of the box with their full feature software installed. However, for those of us who did not luck out with one of those printers we can use a little workarounds to get the same effect. Essentially all we need is a functioning scanner and the right software.
    This is because scanning printed text to an editable document is based on OCR. Which stands for Optical Character Recognition – the best way that I can describe it is software that ‘reads’ the image by matching the letters in an image to typed characters. It can be a great way of keeping up with important documents or keeping a digital backup. I have even known some to scan in portions of local papers for records or to take on trips etc on a mobile devices after conversion. Pretty nifty.
    “Well I have a scanner –JohnB- let’s do this!” Excellent! There are multiple ways but I will highlight a couple here that should get you started.
    Microsoft Office – If you have a copy of this wonderful package you can get started with OCR right away.
    Here is one way with OneNote: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14595/ocr-anything-with-onenote-2007-and-2010/
    Here is a second way with Microsoft Office Document Imaging: http://printscan.about.com/od/softwareyouneed/ss/ocrsoftware.htm (click through the steps using next and previous at the bottom of the article)
    Another option is alternative software – You may have to google or bing around a little to find something that fits your needs (paid/free/this or that feature)
    Have a look at Free Online OCR: http://www.free-ocr.com/

  • PDF file size increases several folds after OCR

    Hello,
    I've been using Acrobat Pro 9.  Whenever I receive a scanned PDF from someone, I always try to OCR it.  I thought this would reduce the file size because it's saved as text characters instead of images.  However, the file size actually increases several folds.  For example I just had a scanned PDF with original size of 3M, but after OCR (settings:  searchable image, downsample to 300dpi), the file size is > 19M.  This is a legal document with no pictures or diagrams.  Even ClearScan gives a result of 15M file.  Could you help explain why and how I can change this?  Thank you.
    Hung

    I just did an OCR with Searchable Image (exact); and here are all results
    Original:  3,046 KB
    Searchable Image (300dpi):  19,408 KB
    Searchable Image (Exact) (600dpi):  3,377 KB
    ClearScan (300dpi):  14,813 KB
    So in this example, Searchable Image (exact) only causes about 10% increase in size.  I used Save As "PDF" (not "Reduced Size PDF" or "Optimized PDF"...).  Does this make sense?  Thank you.

  • How to keep the same image quality after OCR ?

    Hello, I have scanned a page of a book, it has mostly black text over white background. In order to keep a good visual quality and a low size for the file I chose the GIF format. The gif is 153.4KB, when I save it as PDF the file is 119KB  and after OCR it is 224.2KB (however the resulting rich text is only 3.6KB).
    How come the PDF is smaller than the GIF ? Is the GIF converted into a JPEG ?
    How come after OCR the PDF is twice bigger while the added text is only a few KB ? Is the image converted again ?
    I only want to keep my GIF as it is and OCR it.
    Is it possible ?  Even though in the "Convert to PDF" settings it says "There are no settings that can be edited in Conpuserve GIF"
    If not, what other software could I use ? I have DEVONthink Pro but it also converts my GIF against my will.

    Why are you talking about DPI ? the problem is not with acquisition but with convertion.
    I don't want more detail I want to keep the same quality in the PDF that I had in the source file.
    PjonesCET wrote: you can always use pdf Optimizer (in advanced menu) to reduce the size of the PDF without demishing the quality of  text.
    Well I'd like to see that, because before optimizing a PDF you must save it and when you save it the image is converted.
    Here is what I get with a 600DPI TIF converted to PDF. Notice the difference.
    Because DPI (Dots per inch) density affects the quality of the OCR.   The higher the dpi, the better looking and more reliable the OCR. The less DPI is , the poorer the quality, and less relaible the scan is. There are different settings under the Create PDF Using Scanner Those setting affect the Quality of the OCR.
    Once the Document has been OCR'ed have you tried to save as a Word Document or as an RTF Document? Then sleceted all the text and choosen a Font (Arial for example) save as a word document. Then created a new PDF. It might clean up the look at the text.
    I will leave the answer at this and let someone else try. I don't wish to get anyone upset.

  • Thin Horizontal Lines visible within PDF file after OCR run

    I print to PDF(Acrobat 9.1 Pro), from an imaging application where the images are stored and managed as 300dpi TIFF(Group 4) B&W.
    The PDF file is produced with no issues.  At this time I run the OCR process to capture the type written data.  As the OCR process works it's way throught the file, the PDF is re-written with both OCR data and thin black horizontal lines every 2/3 of a inch down the page.
    These lines will be saved with the file and print out.
    How do I eliminate these lines?

    I had this problem too.  I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.4 and after OCRing a doc it had horizontal lines running across the page.  We were able to fix it by first Optimizing the document and then OCRing it.
    Document > Optimize Scanned PDF
    When finished, Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize text using OCR
    Hope this helps

  • Change position of "document links" in query??

    Hi i've got a question...
    how can i change the position of "document links"picture in Bex Analyzer?
    The first two letters are always covered by the document picture....
    Thank you
    Chris

    In edit-mask you can force the position of the minus sign :
    USING EDIT MASK mask
    Effect
    Outputs f according to the formatting template mask.
    Without this addition, f is output in the standard format for that particular type or with a format defined in the ABAP Dictionary. The addition allows you to define a different format.
    You can specify the formatting template as follows:
    '_'represents one character of the field f
    or one digit with type P or I
    'V'only with fields of type P or I:
    output of leading sign
    'LL'at beginning of template:
    left justify (standard)
    'RR'at beginning of template:
    right justify
    '==conv'perform output conversion conv
    ':', ...separator
    (all other characters)

  • After Effects CS4 Performance (BRUTAL)

    Despite the comments on this board (from Adobe themselves) claiming improved After Effects CS4 performance over its predecessor, my experience is the exact opposite. This version seems half baked to me.
    AE CS4 isn't just SLOW, and by slow I really mean dreadfully unusable, It's unstable as well. Even running the same template files that came with CS3 and 4, there's a huge difference in render time, ram previews etc. When you can't even rotate a simple cube without crashing, there's some real problems, and this is just the beginning. The previous version had no show stopping issues, it performed like a trooper. This latest however, I can't see how I could use it day to day for anything..
    There is no other software on this machine other than, CS4, Firefox, and Lightwave 9.5, which by the way, handles textured objects with hundreds of thousands of polys, not 6. I first get an error message that reads as followed;
    After effect error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Live Photoshop 3D"
    followed by, After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See... blah blah blah..
    By the way this occurs with or without OpenGl enabled.
    Systems specs
    8GB Ram
    Q6600
    Hard Drive space 4TB, install drive, 156 GB free
    Vista Business 64
    Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS (driver 178.13)
    This is the same machine that ran CS3 very well, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with this rig..

    Fausto,
    I have no problem importing or animating your PSD - no crashes, at least. The resolution is very high. I got better results by cutting the resolution of your PSD in half, which may or may not be an option for you. I improved responsiveness a little by setting the PS 3D layer to "Use Photoshop Transform" in AE.
    But ultimately, the responsiveness of the 3D layer in AE is impossible to work with, except with Live Update disabled. It seems like a RAM issue to me. What size are the texture layers on each side of the cube? If they're all 3000x2000-ish like your document, and you're working at full res, consider that AE has to hold all six images in RAM, plus manipulate them in 3D.
    My own sense is that the whole 3D layer thing simply isn't ready for that kind of resolution in AE yet. And probably wont be until true 64bit code allows the storage of all those textures in RAM more easily.
    As a side note, don't know if it's my location or your server, but your 74Mb image took me almost 2 hours to download.
