How do I convert specific images on my clipboard to text once pasting the image onto my .pdf document?

Hey Adobe experts, I could really use your help.
I have a couple screen shots from school lectures that I pasted onto OneNote. These screenshots have substantial amount of text I could use. I have created a big .pDF document where I have been saving my notes and text. Now - how do I convert the SPECIFIC images I paste onto the document into text? I'm using the word "Specific" here because I know I can run OCR on a blank page without any text. But how do I run OCR on an image
It automatically happened a couple times when I tried saving the document immediately after I pasted the image - when I was under "edit PDF" I was able to edit and change fonts of the text. But how do I do this at will? Is there a special button somewhere?
P.S. I already tried OCR - but this is only limited to pages without already "renderable text".
I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC; Windows 8.1 machine

Hi SinNombre,
If you are referring to running OCR on a page with image and renderable text, it is not supported. However, you could use the following workaround for the same:
1. Print the PDF document to Microsoft XPS Document Writer or go to File->Export to...->Image-> (Any format example TIFF or PNG)
2. Convert the output created to PDF. This PDF will contain all text and images as images.
3. Run OCR on this PDF.
This should resolve your problem

  • Can open pdf in CS3 with embedded images, put when opened in CS6 or CC the images are missing

    Hi, Would really appreciate some help on this.
    I frequently get artwork from clients saved as illustrator eps and pdfs files, that can be opened within CS3 and printed, no problem.
    Having recently gone to CS6 and now CC I sometime find I can't open artwork supplied, as the images (links) are missing.
    The same documents seem to open in CS3 without any problem.
    Could someone explain why this is, and how I can open these documents within the newer versions of illustrator without the missing link problems
    kind regards
    Ed

    I suspect your documents are some higher version than CS3 but lower or equal than CS6.
    So in CS3 you actually open the PDF part with images ambedded, while CS6 accesses the Ai part without images.
    You really should ask the clients to supply files according to whatever specification you need.
    But you can also extract the images from the PDF parts of your file simply by opening them in Photoshop. Then select "Images" in PDF options and open the images you need.

  • Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

    Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
    In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

    Hi Kevin,
    I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
    You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

  • Error encountered while reading TIFF image, Image may be damaged of incompatible. Resave the image w

    I am currently running CS3, windows XP, service pack 2, with recent update, 5.03 installed today.
    I just opened a 500 page document not in sections where 90% of the document is a placed PDF.
    The PDFS were placed using a sample Script that came with Indesign, that instructs the PDF to automatically flow each page after another.
    When scrolling through quickly in the pages pallette, I get the follwing error:-
    "Error encountered while reading TIFF image, Image may be damaged of incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again."
    I click OK.
    Then I get the following error.....
    " Could not complete request because of database error. The File "ABC.indd" is damaged (Error Code: 3).
    Click OK....
    Then I get the following error....
    Adobe Indesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart Indesign to recover work in any unsaved Indesign documents.
    Then I get the error.......
    Indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for any inconveneince.
    And I have two buttons to click....
    Debug or Close.....
    If I click Debug, it closes Indesign.
    Within this window there is also a window to gather further information....I click it and it tells me...
    "Indesign.exe....Error Signature AppName: indesign.exe AppVer: 5.0.3.662

    "Then it creates an error report and tells me where the report is located along with a scrollable window of 0xc0000005 and heap of zeros."
    The report conatains a whole heap of CHECKSUM ERRORS.
    CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
    I had these errors before updating to 5.03 and the patch hasn't rectified anything!!

    Open the .inx file in CS3 (that's what you have, right?) and save as a new .indd.
    I'd also be tempted to open the tiff in Photoshop and do a save as to re-write it.
    Let us know if it helps.
    Storing files on the network leaves you more open tot he risk of file damage during transfer and save operations.

  • Image with link functions in Firefox, half of the image/link is active in Chrome, image/link dead in Safari

    I have a page with 2 nav links originating from 2 different images. 1 image / link works well with Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

    Why is the text going over the image when the text layer is below the image layer?? It is so frustrating.

    Are you sending the texts to his phone number or his Apple ID? It might be that the texts originated from your phone is to his Apple ID and not his phone number and his Apple ID was not registered for the Message app on his phone. So any texts to his Apple ID is not received by his phone.
    Can you receive his texts? If yes, then reply back from what he send you and see if he can receive the texts.

    Good Day.
    I have recently discovered an issue with scanning.  I have tried scanning straight from the printer, through image capture, and through preview.  All yeilding the same results since they are essentailly kicking off the same scanning applet.  I can scan a jpeg formatted file as long as I applet is in the "Hide Details" mode.  If I click on the "Show Details" button, which I need to do to scan to PDF, I immediately receive an error stating: The image size is too big. Please reduce the image height, width, resolution, scaling or output type.

    Hello Sig
    The scanner works with a Windows computer, which proves the device is functional at a cursory level. The drivers are now distributed by Apple and this is an Apple computer. There is no scanning software provided by HP. HP's answer is that Mountain Lion takes care of all of this.  I anticipate that some setting or driver was somehow tweaked since the scanner had been working with Mountain Lion until a few days ago.  The device in question is an Apple product. So, I'm pretty confident that I'm in the right place.

  • How do I convert a digital photo to a low resolution 5-color pixelated image?

    I want to do a lego project with my kid and would like to convert a picture of him into 5-color (or six-color) pixel form so that I can use that as a map to make a portrait that would look great from far away.  Thanks from a neophyte.

    After you have resized appropriately with Resample Image (very important) checked, done the Indexed color and then the Mosaic Filter, you can then Preview Print, which should use the chosen printer's driver to do just that - preview the print. If all meets with your approval, then the resultant print should be good, provided that you have an ICC Profile for that printer loaded, that matches your PS workflow. This will have more to do with color and density, than the printer ignoring aspects of the image. If not, then something is likely amiss with the printer's driver.
    Now, some printers seem to like other formats, better than .PSD's. Some have better luck with Flattened TIFF's, and some with .PDF's. This will likely depend on your printer and on its driver. You might want to Save_As PDF (no need to be able to edit it later here), and try that. Same result?
    Good luck,

  • 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?
