How do i edit a scanned pdf document in word?

how do i edit a scanned pdf document in word?

In order to edit a scanned PDF anywhere, you'll need to run Optical Character Recognition so it can covert the text from an image to actual text.
That would require Adobe Acrobat once the PDF is created. If you are using scanning software to create the PDF, that option may be in the software so you can OCR it as you create it.

    You can open a pdf in the PSE editor. When you open the pdf, a dialog will ask you  which page to chose (if it's a multipage pdf) and which parameters to use for the conversion to bitmap.
    Since you are on a flattened bitmap (psd, tiff, png, jpeg...) all text will be converted and you won't be able to edit text (which is vector format).

    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.

    I have no options when I record a PDF document in a Word document like Windows (I am working on a Macintosh). And I would like to have a interactive table of contents (TOC). I didnt find informations about it in "PDF Pack". Maybe "PDF Pack" is the solution. Sorry for my bad english.

    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.

    While the ExportPDF service doesn't support Dutch at this time, it does support French, which uses a similar character set.  You may want to try choosing French as the OCR language.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

    While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

     Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place." 
    When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
    I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

  • How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

    How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
    I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
    I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

    Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
    I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

    how do i edit a scanned document in word

    That's impossible. Scanned images are pixel data, not editbale text. You'd have to run it through some OCR process first like in Acrobat, but even then it may just end up being a collection of isolated text objects, not easily editable paragraph text....

    Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader!  That makes sense.  Thanks so much for your reply.  At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs.  If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?
