How to darken scanned font  - Acrobat Pro 7.0  - Adv Print Settings

a 3 page pdf that was scanned on a Toshiba copier as a pdf (no live text originally), is very light onscreen and printed.
How do I darken the font?
I tried OCRing as Exact at 150 dpi, then using the text TouchUp tool to select and change the properties color to black. But some of the text wasn't caught by the OCR so I end up with some text darkened and others illegible.
Is there a setting in the Advanced menu to do with Printing that would correct this? or what?

Oh Bill, you are Wonderful....[what would we do without you...so knowledgeable...answering all of our questions] I think you did already.[I was going to suggest the same thing]...I was searching for an answer and found post #2 above (I think its yours from another post) and copied it in, in case someone else wanted an answer. I haven't tried yet, but it makes sense.
I have a pdf document so I'll save as TIff to get 3 tiffs and then take each into Photoshop.
My crisis has subsided so I have more time to test...
Have a great weekend!

  • How to set up Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5 as printer in Mountain Lion

    How do I set up Adobe Acrobat 9 as printer in Mountain Lion as I would with Windows?

    Changes in OS X made it impossible for Acrobat Pro to install a "printer" for itself as it did before Snow Leopard. The PPD for Acrobat was always very buggy anyway, so no one really misses that part of it.
    For any Adobe app (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), you instead go to the File menu and choose the PDF flyout, as show here:
    For other apps, you hit Command+P as always and open the Adobe PDF options at the lower left of the print dialogue box:
    Choose "Save as Adobe PDF" and continue on from there to choose your PDF settings.
    Quark XPress has all of the pro PDF options built in to its output. You don't use access Acrobat Pro at all in the menus or standard print dialogue.

  • How do i transfer my Acrobat Pro 10 from computer which dies to new unit?

    How do I transfer my Acrobat Pro 10 from one computer which dies to my new one.  I have serial number and am original buyer. Thx Jim

    if you need to reset your activation count, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    if you need the installation program and if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Adobe CS3 Suite -- How to Get InDesign and Acrobat Pro to Install?

    I uninstalled and deactivated my Adobe CS3 Design Premium from my 1st gen Macbook (2006) and installed it on my 3rd gen Macbook Air (2011). When I installed CS3 using the original discs, InDesign and Acrobat did not install properly. How to fix?
    My questions:
    1. Got any ideas how to install InDesign and Acrobat Pro without uninstalling the whole CS3, running the cleaner tool, and reinstalling everything again? I tried to rerun the installer just for InDesign and Acrobat Pro but I got the same result -- no install.
    2. Installing CS3 takes forever -- at least several hours. Is it because I'm sending it over my wireless network? (I'm "sharing" the DVD drive on my other Macbook because my Air doesn't have one.)
    Thanks so much!!
    (More background, in case it's useful -- before installing CS3, I had run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to clean up the mess I made when I tried to migrate CS3 using Mac's migration assistant. I learned, thanks to this forum, that I couldn't use the Migration Assistant tomove CS3. I also found that the unistaller didn't transfer, so I manually deleted folders and then used the cleaner. It worked wel enough to allow me to install everything but InDesign and Acrobat Pro.)

    Thanks Jeff (and Manish). I'm all for better reliability and a quicker installation.
    This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I properly copy the CS3 install files onto a USB? Drag and drop everythng from the CD? Can I not just copy the files onto my desktop and install from there? That is what I thought Manish suggested, to install from the desktop.
    I had tried this method. After copying the install files to the desktop, here's what happened: I clicked the setup application and it opened, but it immediately detected that I had CS3 installed and wouldn't let me go any further. Perhaps that was due to other problems resulting from use of the Migration Assistant.
    Previously, when I used the install disk on the shared drive, I was able to open the setup and install the couple of CS3 programs that weren't installed the first time around. That installation attempt failed and led me here to my original post.
    Many thanks!

  • Windows DEP error when scanning in Acrobat Pro 9.2

    Hi--
    I scan in Acrobat Pro using create docuemnt>from scanner, via a TWAIN driver.  I upgraded from 9.1.3 to 9.2 recently, last week sometime, and this is the first time I've tried to scan.  If I try to scan, I get an error that Windows DEP is closing the program (note: I don't know why the image below says 9.1, as the version is 9.2).  I triec the DEP settings from the defualt for essential windows programs and services to specifically excluding Acrobat 9.  I also repaired my Arcrobat 9 installation.  I have Windows XP SP3, no new Windows updates are available.  None of those things fixed the problem.  Help!

    I started having this issue about a month ago and have done some systematic testing regarding this.  First some particulars:
    OS = Windows XP SP3, all updates installed and current.
    Scanner = RICOH IS330DC with TWAIN driver
    Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.x and 9.2 (see S.O.E below for explanation)
    Scanning operations were typicaly done through AA using the scanners "Native" interface.  MSOffice Document Scanning was also used.
    Sequence of Events:
    Installed WXP aprox. June of 2008, have been installing all updates automaticaly
    Installed AA 8.x at the same time, installing all updates as they are released.
    Performed scanning operations on a daily basis of over a year with NO DEP errors (thousands of scan operations on a daily basis)
    Scanning operations slowed beginning of October of 2009 but still had not received any DEP errors.
    Scanning resumed November 5, 2009.  Started scanning process from within AA (Create new PDF from...Scanner).  AA scan dialogue window opened, selected scan button.  Waited for Adobe to open "Native" scanner interface.  Received the following message instead:  "To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program".
    Attempted to scan with AA 9.2 NOT using native scanner interface, received identical result.
    Upgraded to AA 9.2, on November 10, 2009
    Scanned a document both with and without using "Native" scanner interface.  No change in DEP message.
    Attempted to add AA 9.2 to "exclusion" list in DEP settings (OptIn setting).  I did not receive the message regarding DEP "must be enabled for Adobe Acrobat" that some have reported (possibly specific to Vista/W7 installations?).  Although windows allowed adding AA to DEP exclusion list, results were the same.
    Scanned a document using MS Office Document Scanning feature and using scanner "Native" interface.  NO DEP MESSAGES RECEIVED.
    Scanned a document using MS Office Document Scanning feature WITHOUT using scanner "Native" interface.  NO DEP MESSAGES RECEIVED.
    Disabling DEP (AlwaysOff) does resolve the problem but is NOT recommended as DEP is a critical security feature.  As such this work-around is NOT acceptable.
    The results of the testing were:
    Windows and specificaly DEP are allowing the Microsoft supplpied MS Office Document Scanning utility to use the same RICOH supplied drivers and "Native" scanner interface that DEP is NOT allowing Adobe Acrobat to use.  Simply put, even though in WXP I can add Acrobat 9.2 to the exclusion list, Windows DEP still will not allow Acrobat 9.2 to exectue programs or drivers on it's own.  Which is why I believe this is not a RICOH driver issue but either a Microsoft issue or Adobe issue or most likely Microsoft having an issue with Adobe Acrobat.
    Yes, a workaround would be to use MS Document Scanning and right now that is what I am having to do.  However I find it terribly inconvenient that I have to go an extra step to convert thousands of pages of text from tiff to pdf. when I have paid hundreds of dollars for Acrobat to do it directly to .pdf .  Besides, the custom programming and batch job features I use and rely on were developed specificaly for Acrobat and REQUIRE me to use it and not some other utility.  It is simply NOT cost effective for me to use MS Document Scanning and still be able to provide the services I provide.
    My questions are these:
    Is Adobe actively addressing this issue?
    Why is MS Office Document Scanning able to use the scanner drivers and dialogue window when Adobe Acrobat can not?  Why is MS Windows specificaly identifying secondary code execution by Adobe Acrobat as a problem while secondary code execution by MS office is considered acceptable?
    What happened over the last three months that suddenly made DEP aware of Adobe Acrobat being untrustworthy in regards to code execution where as before it WAS trustworthy, at least in regards to Windows XP installations.
    Prior to this issue I had NEVER even heard of DEP (again Windows XP user).  Did Microsoft release a DEP upgrade to Windows XP users that we were not aware of?  Did Microsoft include DEP as a new feature in a recent WXP SP3 security update (over the last three months) and this is why we are seeing this now?
    Regardless of When DEP was released and for who (WXP, Vista, W7), my questions #1 and #2 are still valid.  Can someone at Adobe please address this?
    ****** UPDATE #1 - 11/23/2009 ******
    When adding items to the DEP exclusion list, it will only allow the addition of ".exe" (executables).  I have not been able to find a way of adding .dll files or any other extension types.

  • How can I move Adobe Acrobat Pro from my old laptop to my new one?

    A few years ago I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro. I recently purchased a new laptop. As such, I'd like to install Adobe Acrobat Pro on the new machine, however; I don't want to have to purchase it again. Does anyone know how I can move it from my old laptop to my new one?

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.
