Is it possible to correct Acrobat's OCR errors?

When Acrobat 8 OCRs a document, it makes a fair number of errors - which I could live with if one could correct the errors afterwards, but I can't see any way to do that - is it possible to?
"Find OCR Suspect" doesn't find anything because Acrobat "thinks" it has made no errors - but it always does make some; all OCR programs do, but all others do allow one to correct the errors afterwards.

Thanks for this-- I was really banging my head against a wall on a large set of data we needed to OCR and verify.
It took me a while to find the "fill" for the text.  It will show up as a red question mark on the dialog box when you are doing this process.
I like the way that you get to see the scanned text immediately when you change the color, then when you click on the text you see the ocr version.  Very helpful.  Thank you.

  • Please provide facility to correct Acrobat's OCR errors

    When Acrobat 8 OCRs a document, it makes a fair number of errors - which I could live with if one could correct the errors afterwards.

    Although it is possible to use the touch-up tool to correct the errors, it is extremely difficult to do so because one can't see the text behind the image that one is touching up.
    Given that Acrobat OCR has now existed since v4, it's extraordinary that Adobe still hasn't got round to fixing this problem, four full versions later. It wouldn't be at all difficult for them to fix this, by providing a "touch up OCR results" mode via a menu, that displays the text that is under the image.
    The reason I and many other people still use Acrobat's OCR is that no "proper OCR program" that I know of preserves the layout perfectly (without a great deal of time-consuming post-OCR fiddling about in a word-processor, and even then not if you don't have the required fonts installed or if the required fonts' licence is non-embeddable). Please could you add the above simple feature, which would turn a currently very clunky OCR feature into an extremely powerful one?

    I bought InFix but it does not really solve the problem: Yes, InFix shows the hidden text and it can be edited and sent back to being hidden. The problem is that there seems no way to make the original image invisible during the editing. Since the two (image text and hidden text) overlap precisely, one needs to shift the hidden text to somewhere else for viewing and editing and shift it back afterwards, so the whole process becomes too tedious for any serious work.

  • Correcting OCR errors that are not "Suspects"

    I routinely find OCR errors that Acrobat does not flag as suspects. I have not found any way to correct this text, as it seems the only tool that Accrobat has for correcting OCR text is the "Find Suspect" tools. It would seem that if the text is there, it should be editable. But after hours of research, I have not found a way. However, I also have not found anything that says that this text cannot be edited. Am I missing some tool that would help in situations like those?

    Hi,
    The ability to mark a non-suspect and correct it is available in Acrobat DC. You can use the following steps:
    Go to tools>Enhance Scans>Recognize Text>Correct Recognized Text
    Check "Show recognized text" check box
    Double click on the word you want to mark as a suspect and correct it.

  • HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore.             is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

    My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last  time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

  • Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

    I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
    I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
    Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
    Many thanks.

    If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
    Is this a local or online PDF?
    If local, is the file really exactly the same?
    If online, in what browser?

  • Is it possible to use Acrobat 9 sdk to check accessibility?

    Is it possible to use Acrobat 9 sdk to check accessibility of a pdf and get whether the pdf is accessible or not?
    I've found InvokeAccessibilityCheckerCmdSnip.cpp that seems to call accessibility validator, but I don't know if that will make what I need.
    I've been asked to include an accessibility validation utility in a Content Server after loading a pdf.
    Thanks in advance.

    Post your question in the 'Acrobat Developers SDK' forum.

  • Is it possible to correct a typo in the menu?

    There's a typo in the text of the menu of a DVD that I created in iDVD. Is it possible to correct this error without redoing the project? An idea that I have in mind would be to make a "dummy" DVD that has the correct menu, copy both DVD's to my hard disk, mix some of the files from one of the DVD's with files from the other DVD, then finally burn this mixture. There are all these VOB files, etc. The question is which (if any) of them corresponds to the menu.

    Sorry but that won't work. Your video, titles and all, are now one big long MPEG-2 files. There is no way to repair certain parts of a project by editing or moving around the video DVD files.
    You have to fix it in iMovie and reburn it in iDVD. Or live with it.

  • How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents  (music scores)  into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

    How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents  (music scores)  into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

    Hi mariab,
    What format are those music scores (I'm not familiar with cubase documents). But, it may be that Adobe PDF Pack doesn't support that format. In that case, Acrobat is the way to go. You can then print your files to PDF as you'd like. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days to see whether it's going to work for you. If you decide it is, and you'd like to use it going forward, you could convert your PDF Pack subscription into an Acrobat subscription.
    Best,

  • Still possible to download Acrobat X Pro?

    3 years ago I purchased Acrobat X Pro for download. My computer crashed and I want to install it on a new computer now but I can't find any download link to Acrobat X Pro version. It is still possible to download Acrobat X Pro?
    Also: I have a serial number for Pro X, but this does not work in Acrobat Pro XI. Should I purchase the full version or an upgrade if I want to use Pro XI version?

    Hi ,
    You can surely download Acrobat X pro from the link mentioned below . If you wish to upgrade, you can surely get the upgrade pricing based on the Acrobat X that you currently own .
    Before downloading the product , please make sure that we go through the Very Important Information :

    I made an error asking to receive Windows product of Adobe Element 13 and Premiere while I needed the Mac Version.  How is it possible to correct this error ? and what do I have to do if you accept ?

    Normally an Elements license is valid for both Windows and Mac systems.  So you might only need to download the Mac versions of the applications and use your serial number to activate them.

    Dear Noel,
    Many thanks for your information, I saw your reply to my question on the forum but being a newby to forums et al I do not know how to put my thanks on the page yet but I will get my head round it sooner or later. It all seems rather complicated when one gets old and decrepit, I had quite a job to get the question on there in the first place.
    Once again thank you and best regards,  Tom Gibson

    I also still have Acrobat Pro 9 on my machine as backup (for this precise reason) but don't believe this is the problem as they have co-existed without a problem for near a month now. The corruption in version X occured after this morning's failed update from Adobe.
    Many thanks,

    Thank you! That did indeed do the trick
    Must have been a font or something causing the problems, as opening in safe mode allowed the software to install correctly.
    Thanks again!!

    Hello

    When I tried to convert the PDF file into little ones, craaashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    This seems to be a BUG AS BIG A GRAND PIANO... so I would like someone from Adobe tell me how may I solve this problem or if they will release an update soon?
    Thank you
