How to input data in a scanned PDF file in Acorbat v8.0 Pro?

Hello Expert,
I have scanned a document as a PDF file, and need to input some data into the document. How can I do it?
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro v8.0
Appreciated for all helps

Hi ~graffiti,
I have an application form, which is a piece of paper. I scanned the form into a PDF file. Yes, there are some fields I need to input data, for example, name, address, phone number, birthdate,... etc. I need fill data into those fileds.
How can I do it with Acrobat Pro 8?
Thanks.

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.

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.

Extract data from a scanned PDF Chart

Hi,
I have a scanned PDF chart, which shows linear relationship between two variables. Is there a way to extract data from the scanned PDF using Acrobat?
I want to avoid error in my calculations by eyeballing the data. Using "Measuring tool" may be an option, but wanted to ask whether any forum members have a better and efficient way to extract data, which can later be used in a spreadsheet software.
As an example, please refer to the attached link, I will like to extract data from Figure 6 in this document: http://www.seas.columbia.edu/earth/wtert/sofos/nawtec/nawtec13/nawtec13-3164.pdf
FYI, I have Acrobat X installed on my Windows computer.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Using AA9 Pro I was able to use the TouchUp Object Tool, right click and open the graph in Photoshop. From there, or Paint and another image editor, one might be able to clean it up or re-create the paths. The gray values are too close for it to be simple.
The measure tool does not seem a good choice; although you see measurement lines, it would not actually produce the line you desire, until maybe, just maybe you flattened annotations, a feature within Fixups, perhaps limited to the Professional version.
IMO, it is a fairly linear graph with only a variation at the 10 Power (MW). You eyeball is as good as mine at this one; the actual values may be available from the authoring entity.

Scanned pdf file-how to edit/translate

Hi,
I am not very good at working with computers/but pretty good at messing them up...Anyhow, I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and I received a file that I need to translate into my own language (my own translation, no need of computer aid in translating), it is a scanned pdf file. How do I manage to put a cursor in a file like this? Do I need a "character recognition" something software or is it so easy that I can't figure it out?....Thanks for any help/advice you have regarding this,
Anne

How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this, but I do not see any instructions how to do it.

Hi,
When using Adobe ExportPDF online service, it will run OCR itself when converting any PDF to other file format.
It also depends upon the quality of the scanned document, so it might be possible that it does not make the file searchable.

How can users who have Acrobat Reader only save scanned pdf files so that the text on them is searchable using ctrl-F? I just use the recognize text with ocr feature in the full version of Acrobat and this seem to do the trick. Reader doesn't work!

Our users have scanned pdf files they want to be able to search using ctrl-f. I got them to be searchable by doing a recognize text using ocr with Acrobat Professional vesion 8. They want to know if they can make the files searchable with Acrobat Reader only or if they need the full Acrobat Professional software to make the files searchable.
Thanks for the help!!

To clarify a bit they need to have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Reader has not been associated with the Acrobat name for 3 or more versions. The process you are asking about is a creation process - the purpose of Acrobat - and NOT a reading feature.

How to programmatically add rectangle to a pdf file ?

How to programmatically add rectangle to a pdf file ?
There is several page pdfs, non-vector, black and white.
Users are color blind and have disabilities.
To train them, one adds a rectangle at a certain lower-left point and width,height specified for a page.
The idea is to give the script the page and coordinates and size of rectangle to be added programmatically. Green rectangles are acceptable as the cones are most sensitive there.
Also, additional feature to add bookmarks on the left in the order these rectangle data is provided to the script.
The script could be "hard-wired" by a list of the rectangle coodinates, and page number, pasted inside acrobat and run or entered into acrobat in some way.
Your script would help many disabled people who are distributed through out the world.
Feel free to contact me by email if you wish.

P.S.
This rectangle does not have to be a full annotation rectangle which needs user,date and a lot of info.
Something minimal like this would suffice
1 0 0 RG % red for stroke color
200 300 50 75 re
As you can see that the native unit of the pdf file is the "point" having 72 in an inch.
The file dpi would be given. However, one could assume that pixel for the rectangle lower-left and width/height are given.
From the pixels and dpi, the points could be calculated if desired.

How can i change the size of PDF files ?

how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

I want to edit bar code field data using Adobe Reader. Bar Code field was designed and data was changing using Acrobat X1 Professional (Trial Version). But can't do so in adobe reader.

I think that product has nothing to do with it. You would use LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

How to digitize a physical book (scanned pfd file) to a kindle format with Indesign? pages are 8x11.

How to digitize a physical book (scanned pfd file) to a kindle format with Indesign? pages are 8x11.
I have all scanned pages, but the kindle format offered on the Indesign options is bigger. What should I do? Do I start a book from scratch with the scanned pictures or do I leave the pages with the white space on them with the kindle option of Indesign.

Hi barbaraegarza,
For your situation, you could try using alternatives like PDF4Kindle, Calibre, or Papercrop. But based on what I've read and my quick experiment, depending on the complexity of your PDF, it may be more effort than it's worth to try to convert a PDF into a legible Kindle, ePub, or any other e-reader file.
I did a quick test on Calibre with a 16-page PDF that contained multiple columns and images. The results were illegible! It ran the lines from each column together, making the text difficult to comprehend. Calibre explains why PDFs are difficult to convert -- Ebook Conversion — calibre User Manual. I have not tried the other two applications that I suggested above, but I would assume that the results would be very similar.
I don't know what kind of results you got when you converted it in InDesign, but if your first test turned out fine and it was just the size of the file that you are concerned about, you could use Acrobat to reduce your PDF's file size and convert it to the Kindle format in InDesign again.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

You have two options:http://www.screencast.com/t/p3srGDGP
In this screen shot I have two method chosen.
the one highlighted in yellow is more effective, except in the case where the pdf was from a Scan which is graphics only.
select the one in yellow first and click on Fonts. Remove all duplicates. for some reason, I don't know if its defect in Acrobat, but usually multiple copies of the exact Font will show up and some cases there will font families not even used in your document. remove all duplicates.
Note: Duplicates do not mean for example: Helvetica, Helevetica Bold, Helvetica Bold Italic (these are three different fonts).
You can reduce the quality of the graphics used and so on while in menu.
The feature highlighted in green more or less just reduce the general qaulity of the PDF. and may work for some PDF's
