How can I search through a scanned document?

I often have hundreds of pages to read through for my job and I get the files in paper format and in PDF scans. Is there an adobe program that will allow me to search a scanned document for a key word or name? It would save me so much time.

Hi td1137,
If the document is scanned pdf document, you may run OCR feature in Adobe Acrobat to make the text searchable. http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/acrobat/pdfs/adobe-acrobat-xi-scan-pape r-to-pdf-and-apply-ocr-tutoria…
Then save the document and you may use Acrobat or Reader to search keyword in same pdf document.

How can I search through my purchased apps on an iPad running iOS 7.0.4?

Maybe I'm just missing it, but I see no way to search through my purchased apps on my iPad (3rd generation) running iOS 7.0.4. To be clear, I know how to go to the appstore, click purchased, and view all of my purchased apps, but I cannot see a search field by which to textually search through my apps as is available on the iPhone. It seems inexplicable that Apple would have this feature on the iPhone but not the iPad, so am I missing something?
Thanks for any help.

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?
I try this:
tell application "Numbers"
make new document with properties {template name:"blank"}
end tell
But don't work.
Where can I find documentation about it?
Thanks

If you try to invent your own syntax, you are starting on very wrong basis.
The required syntax is defined by the Numbers AppleScript's dictionary.
This one doesn't know what is a template.
This is why, in the link posted by badunit, I use an other scheme to create a new document.
I know that it's awful but it's the only one available at this time.

Now that I have upgraded to Yosemite I have a problem when I scan documents. Before, a window showed today's activity. Now I have to search through all my documents and hope to find what I just scanned.

Now that I have upgraded to Yosemite I have a problem when I scan documents. Formerly, a window showed today's activity. Now, I have to search through all the documents in my history to find what I just scanned. Sometimes I can't even find the doc.

Most scan apps have a setting whereas, your scan(s) can go directly to your desktop. No need to "hunt" for scanned docs.

How can I highlight text in a document scanned in pdf format?

How can I highlight text in a document scanned in a pdf format?

If it wasn't OCRed in Acrobat then you can only use the non-text commenting tools, like the Square or Polygon. Press Ctrl+E to open the Properties bad and you could make it look like a text highlight annotation.

How can I search a PDF document for annotations/comments

I have a long 50+ page pdf document with many annotations and commnets. How can I search this document to find each comment?

Locating and Searching Comment annotations.
From the open Comments List you can sort and filter comments.
This is discussed in Acrobat X Pro's online Help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e42.w.h tml
A sorted / filtered list can be used to generate a PDF comment summary report.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS75E00763-F15A-43a1-85B7-51B920B1181A.w.htm l
You could then use Find on the output summary report.
Using Acrobat X Pro you can embed an index in the PDF.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WSC28D4DBB-6A78-4027-9E04-F50FE411CFB9.w.htm l
Then use the Search tool. With the Search pane open tick "Include Comments".
Search returns have an icon at the left of each instance.
This portion of Acrobat X Pro's online Help shows and describes these.
The third up from the list's bottom is the Comments icon.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WSC28D4DBB-6A78-4027-9E04-F50FE411CFB9.w.htm l
One of these or combinations may met your needs.
Be well...

How can I print ONLY the active document?

Whenever I go to File/Print the darn PSE 9 program sends all of the working files in the bin to the printer. I've searched online for 2 hours now looking for an answer.
I like to work with having several to many files in the 'bin' and prefer to only print the active file I'm currently working on without having to close the 'working files' before I can print. How can I print ONLY the active document or file in the project bin? Please help, I've upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 9 and really like the updated features, but this one pain in the neck default is getting the best of me.

Thanks for your help, that works nicely. It is good to have control of the printer again.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?

> How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

Can not search through 1003 results

1. Firefox Help
2. Search
Found 1003 results for "where are my posts"
I can not search through 1003 results to find my solution. I want to see what I have posted, to what threads I’m subscribed and responses to all. How?

Thank you,
But I don’t see these specific words “Firefox Support Forum
The Official Community-Driven Support Web Site for Firefox” on this page. Perhaps I have not searched for them thoroughly enough. Are they at the top, bottom, somewhere else or on a different page?
Maybe I am not seeing the same page that you are seeing. I recently downloaded Firefox 9.0.1. If we are not seeing the same page, is there something I can do to correct this?
