Ocr error This page contains renderable text

First time caller,first time user: acrobat 8.0 pro, i purchased acrobat to begin to ocr a lot of pdf's i've made. this first one i've tried to ocr gave me the error message: Acrobat cannot ocr this page, This page contains renderable text. what does this mean and is there a workaround to allow the page to be ocr'd.
I'm not trying to turn it into a word document, I just want to have searchable text, so i believe i choose searchable image, english and 600 dpi, but no dice.

I keep coming across this renderable text issue in documents I am processing for the web, and frankly, the TIFF work-around is not adequate. We pay a lot for Adobe Professional, and expect more than such a lame work-around which hinders the output quality. In addition, this is a tedious solution for large documents as well.
I have found several other posts on the web about this, with some references to Adobe updates fixing this problem. I have tried them all and none work. Very frustrating.

Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because this page contains renderable text

I have a pdf file, which was OCRed by some other software, I am not satisfied with its accuracy, and would like to run adobe acrobat to OCR it again.
But Adobe says "Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because this page contains renderable text" for each page of the file.
How can I do to re-OCR the file? Thanks!

CtDave,
I am having a similar problem and tried your suggestion but I still get the same message. Any other thoughts or fixes? The difference in my file is I used to be able to edit the text in the PDF file. For the last few months I am no longer able to edit this file.

Error:This page contains content of "application/x-java-applet" type. You do not have the plug-in required to view this content.

Hi....i m using Mac OS x 10.5.8 with safari Version 5.0.2 (5533.18.5). I just updated the Java version to Java 6 and now m getting below error:
This page contains content of “application/x-java-applet” type. You do not have the plug-in required to view this content.
Please help me out on this....

I am also having a problem with this. My website is hosted through "www.onlinepictureproof.com" and now that my laptop is back from repair with OS X 10.6.8 I am unable to upload my photos to my work website. It says "a plug-in is needed to display this content. Install plug-in" and then a window pops up that says "no suitable plug-ins were found". Below that is "unknown plug-in (application/x-java-applet)" with a link to "manual install" which takes me to "http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index-jsp-141438.html#download" which just leaves me lost. I've tried downloading the "JRE" but I have zero idea what that means or if Im downloading the proper thing. Once I click on the "download JRE" it brings me to a download page where there are WAY too many items for me to choose from to download, when I have no idea what I need or why I need it. please help, this is driving me insane. I actually preferred my constantly crashing laptop to the state its in now, "like brand new" back from apple repair...I have already updated everything that is promted through "Software Updates".
"OnlinePictureProof.com" only directs me to apple support.
Thank you for any help you can offer!

Ibooks Error This page contains the following errors: error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error

I am getting this error with my latest Ibook,
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error
Can anyone offer a fix?
Thanks
Paul

I have the same problem. I've tried to restart my Ipad and downloaded the book again several times but nothing has changed. There aren't any reviews on the book with that problem and I've got the latest version of iBook so I don't know what else I can do to get the book which I've paid for. Does anyone have another idea what I could do? (maybe one of the above might help you, Paul)
Thanks

"This page contains the following errors: error on line 1 at column 1: error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error"

I am getting this error since purchasing my latest book:
“This page contains the following errors: error on line 1 at column 1: error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error”
This message also appears on some, but not all books I purchased earlier.
I've tried to restart my iPhone (5) and downloaded iBooks (and the books itself) again several times but nothing has changed. I’m also synced the iPhone via iTunes without luck.
It’s the latest version of iBooks from Appstore. The same books on iBooks for iPad and Mac working fine!
iOS 7.0.6
iBooks 3.2 (2083)

Did you Reset your iphone?

Trying to OCR pdf, pdf says it can't perform bc it already contains renderable text-but does not.

I work for a large agency, and we receive PDF's all the time. 98% of the time I am able to OCR a document with no issues. Just recently I have come across this issue several times, and was wondering if anyone can solve this irritating problem!
*Acrobat 8.1 - When going to OCR the document, I receive the following message " Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because this page already contains renderable text. However, it does not. When you go to select text or search for anything the whole page is selected (like it's still in a "picture" format, not a document format that you can search, ect.)
I am not sure if it is how the document is uploaded originally by the other party that causes this, but the only thing I can do as a work-around - is to print out the entire document, scan and then I can OCR the document just fine! The problem is, if the document is 400 pages or so, this can be a huge waste of time, and money just to be able to search the PDF.
*I have also checked the pdf properties to see if this is some sort of permissions issue, and there are not permissions/security settings in place.*
PLEASE HELP! Any assistance in this matter would save me a lot of time, and of course (my sanity!).
Thank you in advance!

While the alert speaks to "renderable text" that is a simplification. The issue is that you've PDF page content consisting of at least one renderable "character".
Look at font families - you will observe that there are many characters that are not "text" characters (i.e., linguistic characters).
So, there's a "renderable character" present. It may be an alpha numeric that has a font color the same as the page background. It may be under the image and thus not visible to the eye.
You might be able to determine just what is present.
You could export the page of interest to a text file then view that file.
You could deplay the page of interest in Acrobat Pro then select the "Content panel" to view the content tree.
Locate and click on the page number for the page of interest.
From the Content panel's Options menu select "Highlight Content".
Walk down the tree. Select the content containers in turn and observe what is highlighted on the PDF page.
Where might the renderable character come from ? Typically that'd be associated with something in the work flow.
Not always easy to find so don't take anything in the work flow for granted.
Be well...

Error: This page has graphics other than images or text on it

I recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, and I am experiencing a problem
with OCR text recognition.
If I use "Create PDF from Scanner" or "Create PDF from file" (using a
monochrome TIFF image) to create a PDF, I can then perform OCR on the PDF
file in Acrobat.
But if I open a monochrome TIFF image in some other program (Irfanview) and
print that to the Adobe PDF printer, then open that PDF in Acrobat and try
to perform OCR on it, I get the following message:
"Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because: This page
has graphics other than images or text on it. It cannot be captured."
If I select the scanned image in the PDF file using the TouchUp Object tool,
and then cut it to the clipboard, I am then able to then select a second
blank object on the page, that has the same dimensions as the scan (it is
full page size). If I delete that object, then paste the first one back in
(the scanned image), then OCR will work. So what is this additional object
that is preventing OCR? I did not have this issue with versions 4-8 of
Acrobat.
Also, this problem appears to only pertain to 1-bit monochrome images. I
scanned the same page to 8-bit grayscale, then printed that to Adobe PDF
from Irfanview, and that PDF file allows OCR to be performed. Does anyone
else have a problem using OCR when the PDF was created by printing a
monochrome raster image to PDF?

Not sure this will work for indesign, but for any other searches about the OCR problem with "This page has graphics other than images or text on it", I used this workaround for a huge scanned text that Acrobat 9 Pro wouldn't OCR:
1. Save As.... > TIFF image
This saved each page as a tiff, so if your file is big, you might want to create a special folder for it. (I had 1100 pages!)
2. Open the folder with the TIFF images.
3. Select all files.
4. Right-click > Open with.... > Choose.... > Other.... > Acrobat
5. Popup will ask if you want to open all files in a single document. Obviously a good choice for 1100 pages.
6. After the new PDF generates, save it.
7. Document > OCR --- should work now.
8. If it does, don't forget to delete the folders with the TIFFs.
Hope that helps someone.

This page contains errors

I've been dealing with this issue since Microsoft bought Skype. I have numerous users in my company, some work fine others get the famous internet gets sleepy message often followed by the current blank screen that flashes and then says "this page contains errors. Go back." I've had the issue with multiple versions of IE and skype but cant seem to find rhyme or reason to which ones wont work. Here are the current details:
If using a Skype name, it will login fine and work properly, only effects logging in with a microsoft account
Dell latitude 2120 running Windows 7 home premium with service pack 1
Skype version 6.20.0.104
IE version 11.0.9600.17239
Currently Im just getting the white screen that says this page contains errors. The internet is getting sleppy message has gone away. I do have an internet connection as other internet connected programs will work and I can access the internet fine through IE.

I have verified and yes, that is the only option selected. Still having the problem.
I have 2 of these laptops experiencing the same problem with identical versions and settings. I have taken one of them and installed a 'special' version linked on another similar thread to this. That version is 6.1.999.130 It is interesting to note that on that version, the first time I click to sign in with a microsoft account, i get the message 'sometimes the internet gets a bit sleepy...' when I click it again, it goes to the white screen, flashes a few times and says this page contains errors, go back.

This page contains the following errors:

More and more often I'm getting this message in Safari. I don't recall every getting this message at all until recently and every day it seems to have more and more. What's the issue and is there anything I can do about it?

Hi,
www.logitech.com/revolution works fine on my version of Safari (2.0.4 v419.3) so it's not specifically a Safari bug as such.
One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account.This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed)
For your your internet connections are you using any proxies? (You can check in the System Preferences -> Network pane)
Also, what Safari add-ons have you both added in the past? Maybe we can track it down to a common add-on between you both.

Getting an error message "this page contains the following errors" after downloading books to I pad from bookstore. Also now getting same message on previously downloaded books. What gives?

Getting an error message starting with "this page contains the following error" and continuing with various details in books recently downloaded from the Books app on an I Pad. Also now getting the same message on previously successfully downloaded books. Anyone know whats happening/how to fix? thanks

Try rebooting your iPad. To reboot your iPad, hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. If, during this process, a slider appears on the screen to power it off, ignore it and keep holding the buttons down.
Rebooting your iPad can solve a lot of problems. Try it and report back.

APEX 4.1.0 to 4.2.1 This page contains both secure and nonsecure items

I have upgrade Oracle Application Express from 4.1.0 to 4.2.1. After the upgrade, I started to get "Security Information - This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to continue?" at the login page. Once I am logged in, I get the same notification for every button/task that I do. What did I do wrong?
Sincerely,
Ronnie A. Tolentino

Do you know which files are not loading with HTTPS?
With any luck they are files you added and you can change them in the template to HTTPS.
If they are files added by APEX, then I'm not sure if there's a way to change it, but you could remove the substitution string that APEX adds and add the files directly to your template with HTTPS. It's not ideal and would need to revise those includes after each upgrade, but it would eliminate the error.
Or live with it. :-)
Thanks

How can I disable warning: "This page contains some SWF objects..."

"This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent version of IE..."
Is there a way to suppress this warning?! I'm doing a find and replace on an old web site, which does not pay well! and this pops up on every page. I have to click on it to continue every time. Making me mad.
Thanks

Thanks for answering. In my case that won't work because I'm doing a global find and replace of some text.
I agree though, that process would eliminate the message when I have to come back to edit the site again. It's just the thought of many dozens of pages that would need it and to be honest, I'm really not feeling that motivated to do all the up front work right now
Like I said, there should have been a setting for this...

I've got a user that suddenly gets an error on a planning web form. She opens the form and enters data but when she tries to submit gets the following error “This form contains unsaved data. Select OK to continue without saving data, or Cancel to discard operation” and then it takes her back to the blank form. This form worked for her yesterday but not today. She has tried shutting down hyperion, even rebooting her machine but no luck. Any ideas?
