How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this

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.

  • In Safari how do I open a .PDF file in Preview instead of Adobe Reader?

    When a pdf file opens on my computer in Safari, it opens with Adobe Reader (v. 7.0.8). Until recently, I could right-click on my mouse and and a drop-down menu would appear with the option to open the pdf file in Preview instead of Adobe. That option has now disappeared from the drop-down menu. Can anyone explain how to get back the menu option to open the pdf file in Preview? Thanks. David

    My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
    window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
    externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
    computers:-)
    Anyway, we have the same question.
    How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
    Safari, or external in Adobe?
    This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
    Thanks!

  • Do you know how to make multible page PDF files in Preview?

    MAKE MULTIPLE PDF DOCUMENTS IN PREVIEW
    Drop first page PDF file into Preview icon on the dock
    Drag 2nd, 3rd page into page area
    Select print then save as PDF
    Save to desktop with new name.
    Drag new file to Preview then press share to email
    SCAN IN PREVIEW
    In Preview go to FILE
    Select IMPORT FROM PRINTER
    Select Scan
    Press CONTROL and DUPLICATE in the edit menu for SAVE AS to name file

    Go to the Map, Background & Animatic Browser (last button in the centre tool bar alongside the Transition button). Drag the Black background (or any background) to your project. From an Event, drag the video selection directly onto the Black clip in the project. As you drop the video clip, a pop-up menu will appear. Select Picture in Picture.
    Your video will appear as a small picture within the black clip. Click on it and reposition it to the centre of the viewer, using the yellow guide lines to get the exact centre position. Resize the Picture in Picture if desired by dragging the corner handles.
    NOTE: You may need to extend the duration of the Black clip to match the duration of the video clip. Double-click on the Black clip to open the Inspector, then adjust the duration there.

  • How to save a scanned pdf file that has been rotated?

    I scanned several pages of a book but I evidently did it upside-down.  I rotated the pages 90 degrees, twice, and then saved the document with a different name.  But when I open the new document, the pages are still upside-down.  How can I correct this so that I don't have to re-scan all the pages?

    Thank you. As it happens, I'm still running Acrobat 9, so the drop-down commands are a bit different:
    Document > Rotate Pages allows you to rotate selected pages.  It worked, and then when I saved the document and re-opened it, it was exactly as I wanted it! 
    What had not worked was using the Rotate Clockwise option after right-clicking on a page.  That allows the user to view the rotated document but not to save it in that view.
    Thanks again.

  • How to make a single PDF file with pages for each Invoice (XML/XPD)

    I appologize, this is my first time doing this so try not to assume too much when responding.
    I have designed an invoice form in LiveCycle Designer and have it properly connected to an XPD feed that is dynamically created with PHP. When the user opens the URL, the invoice they selected shows up perfectly in the PDF. Yeah!!!
    Now the problem, they want to have multiple invoices show up in the PDF as their own "pages" in a single PDF document. Page 1 = Invoice 1001, Page 2 = Invoice 1002...etc.
    The XML scheme is something like the following. A single header with a variable number of detail lines.
    form1
    header
    invoice_id
    invoice_date
    etc...
    /header
    details
    detail
    item_descr
    item_qty
    item_price
    detail
    detail
    item_descr
    item_qty
    item_price
    detail
    detail
    item_descr
    item_qty
    item_price
    detail
    /details
    /form1
    Now I figure this is a simple matter of replicating the invoice XML in the XPD that is generated, but no matter which way I do it, I only get a single page.
    Is there something I need to do in the form in LiveCycle that tells it to produce multiple pages if I give it multiple "records"?
    Does that make sense?
    BTW...I'm not using a FormServer or anything else. Just simple XPD dynamically created with PHP that points to a PDF created with LiveCycle.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Again...assume I'm a newbie...

    Hi All,
    What I thought to develop is to write a JDBC connection in the Stan-alone PDF template and access database.
    example: PDF is designed in such a way that it should have "USERNAME" , "PASSWORD" , "LOGIN BUTTON" , so that PDF stand-alone template on every desktop should access the database on entering the correct credentials.
    is it possible..?
    if possible , please provite the solution..?

  • Are scanned PDF files searchable without using OCR?

    I want to scan documents into PDF format and would like to be able to search and index content, is there a way to do this without running OCR against it first?  If not is there a product or iFilter that can do OCR and index the context without actually changing the format of the document itself?

    It is not possible to search a raster graphic for text, since that is what a scan is before it is OCRd. It is possible to OCR without changing the format of the document. Acrobat has the capability to insert the characters behind the graphic rather than replace the graphic.

  • 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 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 convert a pdf file into a word doc in order to make chnages?

    You need Acrobat and can then use File --> Save As... --> Microsoft Word. Just don't expect miracels. PDFs aren't meant for editing and you may end up with clumps of text and lose all formatting and may have to rebuild the document completely.

  • 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 can I combine different pdf files in one?
    created by Sara.Forsberg in Adobe PDF Pack - View the full discussion 
    Hi Flávia,
    Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
    However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
    Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
    Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
    Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
    Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
    Click OK.
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara
