How To Automate OCR after documents are scanned?

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional
1. Is there a way to have Acrobat 8 Professional to automatically ocr after the documents are scanned?
2. Is there a way to create a buttom to ocr the scanned documents. Currently I have to go through: document>ocr text recognition>Pages options >OK
Any advice would be appreciated! Joe

I'm sure the javascript experts will be able to create a button that runs a script for your task, but have you considered using other OCR software (Finereader, ReadIris etc)? Corporate versions of these programs allow you to have a 'Watched Folder' where any file sent to the folder will automatically be OCRd with no user intervention.
Although the OCR quality may be no different to Acrobat's plug-in, there will also be far more in the way of options to view and edit the recognised text.

  • 925685 - Approval process is not triggered after documents are added

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone found already a solution for the following problem.
    According to SAP Note: 925685 - Approval process is not triggered after documents are added.
    Within our SAP application, we want to approve purchase orders for departments based upon the document total.
    I was very astonished that employees are able to add a PO which will not trigger an approval stage and after the document is added, they have the possibility to change the document and at the update moment no approval will be started even if the document meets the approval requirements.
    Therefore I really want the flexibility to give users the possibility to change their PO.
    Meanwhile, documents which are added under approval, are also locked for changes, although this is another question it is also pretty annoying!
    I hope anyone has already found a method or work around for the stated problems above.
    (We are using SAP 8.8 PL 20)
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Marcel

    Hi Kambadasan,
    Thank you for your reply
    I'm sorry but I know how the approval templates work and they are configured correctly, however as SAP also mentioned in their own Note, this is due to the lack of SBO that SAP has such behaviour.
    Hi Gordon,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Unfortunately I have not found the post you mentioned...
    I will post my issue alson on the topic you mentioned.
    Hopefully they found a solution or maybe version 8.81 will solve the problem.
    Thanks a lot!!
    Kind regards,
    Marcel

    You would need the full version of Adobe Acrobat for that. Adobe Acrobat Reader cannot accomplish this at all.

  • "Automatically" restricting Printing & Saving as Documents are scanned

    We do alot of scanning and right now the restriction of Printing and Saving our PDF's is done manually at the creation of each PDF after it is scanned. Is there a way that this security setting is automatically added when the document is initially scanned?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @mistinlaci 
    I read your post about the scanning issues you're having and I wanted to make my suggestions to you.
    Here they are:
    Check for Windows Updates and complete them all:
    Install Windows updates
    Update Adobe:
    Open Reader or Acrobat.
    Choose Help - Check For Updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
    Once installed, restart you computer.
    Try to print the PDF again.
    Run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
    Please let me know if the troubleshooting steps helped!

  • DMS- How to know that the documents are attached??

    Hello Guys,
    This is pertaining to DMS,
    We attach documents and link it to various object links.
    Later when we get into that transaction we retrive the attached documents.
    Suppose i attached the DIR to MARA (in object links) , and until i forcely go to document data in T code MM02   i cant know that documents are attached.....??
    My question is how any one will know that the documents are linked thru DMS to Various object links in those transactions.
    Is my question is valid......just put your comments...
    Regards,
    Murali.S
    Points will be awarded for sure.

    Guys,
    Thanks first-of all...
    But i think i should be still precise little bit more....
    Just consider a situation where u have 2 users ....A & B,both are in different location.just imagine user B dont have any contact to(from) User A
    User A: creates the various document info record and attach to Material master .
    User B  is working in another plant . How user B will know that to this material documents are attached,
    He(USER B) should have already got the information that documents are attached  else he should go and check document data Tab forcing himself......
    I felt that every time user has to check as a practice if any documents are attached thru Tab EXTRA'S but this may be critical...not every one will do that....some time u may forget to check the presence.
    Is my question valid......??!?!?

  • How do I turn off automatic OCR when document opens?

    Hello,
    I just installed Adobe Acrobat Standard X on my work computer and was given the dialogue box to automatically scan PDF's for recognizable text when I open them. I accidentally set this to run the OCR tool everytime I open a PDF, which I do a lot. This is annoying because I have a lot of PDF's with hundreds of pages which can take a long time to OCR if I don't cancel it. Is there a way to turn off this feature so that Acrobat does not OCR every PDF that I open?
    I appreciate any help.

  • How to automatically create xml documents ?

    Hi,
    I have created an xml form with specific fields and properties. Now, I want to automatically create a large amount of xml documents based on it.
    Is there any means to do this ?
    Thanks,
    Loïc LEVEUGLE

    You cannot automate applying usage rights with Acrobat. For that you'd need to use Adobe's LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
    How exactly are you currently converting XML into fillable forms? Are you using an XDP to somehow convert to an XFA-based PDF?

  • Event to handle DocNo. automatic population after document was added

    Hi,
    I have created a UDF using SAP B1 Studio with visual studio 2010.Values can enter in form and it is successfully added to table. I am trying to show the DocumentNo. automatically once document got added to the table.
    i.e., DocNo. textbox in form is empty once document got added.I have tried in Buttonclick after,Data Add after...Its not working.
    In which event can we handle this?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Parvatha Solai.N

    Hi Parvatha,
    The DocNumber is finalised by SAP when you save the document.
    Hence, you cannot save this number into your UDF at the same time.
    This has to be a two step process.
    On After Data Add event,
        1 get the DocEntry from the pVal.ObjectKey
        2 Call up the Doc using this object key and update your UDF
              Dim oDoc As SAPBobsCOM.Documents = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(yourDocObjType)
              oDoc.GetByKey(DocEntry)
              oDoc.UserFields.Fields.Item("UDF").Value = oDoc.DocNum
              oDoc.Update
    On the other hand, why would you want to save the docnum in the user field ?
    Regards

  • How to find out which documents are linked to a graphic

    We're in the process of cleaning up our network drive by moving relevant files to a new drive and deleting duplicate or other unnecessary files. We have a lot of files and it would not be practical to do this migration in mass so we would like to do it piecemeal, deleting files as they are migrated to the new drive.
    In the past, if a graphic file was used in multiple documents, we would link the documents to the graphic, wherever the graphic was first stored (which has cause many problems). Moving forward we want to keep all the graphic files with the document that uses them (even though that will create multiple copies of the same file).
    My concern is that a graphic file in one folder may be linked to multiple documents and if we delete that graphic, when it comes time to migrate the other linked documents, it will be cumbersome to track down the missing graphic.
    Does anyone know an easy way to identify all of the documents that are linked to a graphic? Is there a Where Used script for graphics or something?
    We are using FrameMaker 8 on Windows XP Professional.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    I know of a Perl script that separates used from unused graphics: http://members.shaw.ca/philip.sharman/graphix/graphix.htm
    You will also need a Perl environment.
    We've tested this script with Strawberry Perl: http://strawberryperl.com/
    It is working, but you need to map network drives. It doesn't work with UNC paths.

  • How to Rename Pictures after they are Saved

    Could not find out how to do this, but discovered it can be done by going to File Manager. But first you must know the current name of the picture and I cannot see how to find the name while viewing the picture. Any way to do this?

    Perhaps you should set your FileManager to show thumbnails, same as you'd see in your Pictures folder.
    That's what I've done and I don't have to search filenames.
    take care.

  • How to automatically name files which are saved using " Write to spreadsheet" individually?

    I'm making a program which will save image data (i.e pixel intensity) and the save the data to a text file. Works great but I need it to automatically name each textfile as I will be taking n number of image date in a certain amount of time and don't want to waste time writing each file name.
    Any tips would be hugely appreciated,
    Shack

    Hi Shack,
    you need to create your filename programmatically. As they are just strings you should use string functions to do so!
    Then use "Append Path" to create a full filepath wired to your file function…

  • How to focus windows after they are minimized - VBScript

    Hello guys!!
    I've been to a few days writing code in VBScript and econtrei a big problem.
    I wonder if there is any way to activate a window after it is minimized. Already researched a lot about the AppActivate function and it only works if the window in question already opened (but not in focus ) . I've tried using SendKeys commands to restore a
    window after using the AppActivate command, but it still fails. The most that happens is the window in question is blinking on the taskbar, where no restore command is met .
    I use Windows 7 Home Basic x64
    Sorry for my bad english, I hope you can help me.

    No - bad English is not that bad compared to many English speakers I know.
    "econtrei" is a nice twist.
    Unfortunately there is no easy way to control a Window using basic scripting.
    Here is one way of doing this:
