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.

  • Not able to sign a document with Adobe Pro X, XI

    Every once in awhile I am getting an issue with Adobe Pro X and Adobe Pro XI when trying to sign a .pdf. The document looks OK, the first signer places a signature. The second signer starts with drawing the new signature rectangle, enters the password, in the next moment the box disappears and the signature disappeared completely - it will take two or three tries before the signature "sticks". What could be the reason?

    OK, I figured it out. Have to use pro to enable signing of the documents....

  • How to scan legal size document with Adobe Acrobat 6.0?

    How do you scan legal (8.5 x 14.0) size documents with Adobe Acrobat 6.0.0 ? There is no option for that size paper in the scan menu. And I can't find the answer in either my help file or on-line with Adobe.com. Can anyone help me?

    I use a HP OfficeJet G85. I have no problem copying/printing legal (8.5 x 14) size documents with that all-in-one unit. So I assumed it should be able to send the image it collected to my Adobe Acrobat program instead of to the printer. Am I missing something? Or should I put the question to HP instead of Adobe?

  • How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with  adobe pro XI?

    How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with adobe pro XI?
    Can I combine text blocks into one paragraph that are now given line by line?
    Is there a way to add a paragraph to an existing pdf and have the remaining text flow to the next pages?

    You can't, no, and no. Acrobat is not a word processor, and trying to use it as if it is will lead to enormous frustration and disappointment. Maybe you need to convert this document to Word if you want to do this sort of editing, but don't expect fancy layout to be preserved.

  • Printing preview with adobe pro or acrobat reader

    When I print a document I generally use the Preview button to check what the document looks like.
    Is it normal that with Adobe Pro or Reader the Preview buttons returns the following comment "preview is not supported".
    Merci

    Yes, that seems like the expected behavior - I am not exactly sure why Adobe does this, but it happens here too.
    If it's important, you could ask on the Adobe site or send feedback to Apple asking why this occurs.

    I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes.  Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue? 

    Thank you!  That seemed to do the trick.  Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

  • Creating a Fillable PDF form with adobe pro XI

    Hi,
    I am creating a fillalbe PDF form using Form central with Adobe Pro XI and I am using the new "add help text" feature in it, but when i save the form as PDF the add help text disaapars. I am also unalbe to find a form reset button to add to my form. How can I create a from with these features. The form I want to make it fillable PDf to emailed to customers.
    thanks.

    Hi;
    Re: Help Icon - The PDF does not display the "?" like the web form.  In the PDF when you mouse over the field and hover for 1-2 seconds the help text is shown in a tooltip.
    Re: Form Reset button (Clear Form) - FormsCentral does not provide a clear form button but you can add it in Acrobat.  You will want to open the PDF in Acrobat and then follow these two tutorials:
    In order to Edit the FormsCentral PDF in Acrobat you will need to read this FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
    This tutorial shows you how to add the "Clear" button to the form: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x-tips-tricks/quick-tip-how-to-add-a-reset-button-to-a-f orm/
    Are you planning save the form as a "Submission Enabled PDF" and collect responses using FormsCentral?  If you are not, and simply want the responses or PDF emailed back to you on submission you can see this tutorial: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7dd6.w .html
    Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Thanks,

  • Can't open PDF documents with Adobe

    Every time I try to open up a PDF with Adobe the error message
    Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
    We've tried reinstalling and can't figure out what the problem is... Any ideas would be great!

    Thank you!  That seemed to do the trick.  Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!
