How do I edit my scanned documents?

I do not know what I am doing.
I have a new all in one printer, scanner, copier.
I want to be able to edit my text in a document that I have scanned. 

Well, first thing we need to know in the format of the outcome of the scan. Knowing which programs you have for opening the resulting file, your OS and version, etc. would also be helpful. From your message above, I cannot even start guessing what you have done.

    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....

    You probably need to use image editing software such as Photoshop or Fireworks since a scan commonly produces an image file.

    All my scans end up in HP Photo and i cannot edit documents there. Can anyone tell me how to save my document scans so i can edit them?
    Sandie

    There is a page with great information about how to perform scans with and without the HP software for the F4280. This page can be found here.
    As to saving scans so that you can edit them. What type of scan are you doing? (picture or text document) What type of edits are you attempting?
    What is the operating system of the computer connected to the F4280?

  • 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.

  • How do I edit a scanned file converted to a word document?

    How do you take a scanned document to a word document & then edit it?

    Many scanners have the ability to save as PDF.  If you scan your document to a PDF file, you can then use the ExportPDF service to convert that file to a Word document.  The ExportPDF service will perform optical character recognition (OCR) on your document to try to identify the text as actual text instead of an image.  You should then be able to edit the file.
    Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • How do I make a scanned document editable?

    Is there an app (or program) already on my Mac that allows me to edit a scanned document, or to scan directly into Pages or Word For Mac?  I don't mind purchasing a program, if necessary, but it seems Mac has lots of functionalities built in... if you know where to find it.

    You need OCR (optical character recognition) software.
    It's not built in to OS X, so you'll have to search for a solution. There is an abundant selection in the App Store. Here is one and there are many others.
    Readiris has been around for a very long time. I used it a while ago, but it's expensive, and there may be better alternatives today.
    I have none in particular to recommend, so read the reviews and choose accordingly.

  • How do I export a scanned document to Word?

    How do I export a scanned document to Word?

    Use your OS's file browser/explorer to sort the files (in the folder) by date.
    Rename each. Top down put a numeric prefix in place.
    000-filename
    001-filename
    nnn-filename
    Open Acrobat and use the "Combine" feature to combine the files into a single PDF.
    An option available with the Combine feature is to have Bookmarks used. Tick this choice.
    The single, new PDF is created. Save it.
    Open this PDF file's Bookmark pane. There'll be a bookmark for each of the files.
    The order of Bookmarks and the order of PDF pages reflects the order you set when you renamed the source files (a date sort).
    Note that you could manually position the order of files to be combined in the Combine dialog.
    I find it easier and quicker to add the prefix to the source files.
    Using Acrobat XI you'd process the new, single PDF through OCR.
    As some of the PDF pages already have renderable text they cannot undergo OCR.
    Acrobat will alert you of this when it comes to the first of such pages.
    Just tick the box in the lower left. This tells Acrobat to ignore any upcoming pages that cannot be OCRd and to keep on truck'n to OCR the page that hold the scanned image.
    Now, use Acrobat XI to export the the PDF to the Word file you want.
    (File :: Save As Other :: <make the desired choice> )
    Do not expect a 1:1 export. You have a diverse collection of source files.
    While you might get 1:1 if ALL the PDFs combined were well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant with 14.8 of ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1) you don't have that.
    So --- To be expected — cleanup of the content in the Word file.
    Be well...

    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).

  • How can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe 9 pro ?

    how can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe acrobae 9 pro ?

    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.

  • How do i edit a saved document?

    how do I edit a saved document?

    Hi wallacem59620634,
    Are you referring to a file that you've saved to your Acrobat.com online account? If so, you'll need to download that file to your computer to edit it. Please follow these steps:
    Log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files.
    Select the file that you want to edit, and then click Download. The file will be downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer. From there, you can open it in an application that supports that file format and edit it.
    Please note, that if you're working with a PDF file, you'll need to use Acrobat to edit the content. If you don't have Acrobat, please feel free to download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Best,
    Sara
