OCR in Acrobat 7, errors out.What about OCR in 8?

We publish a magazine in InDesign CS2. Our pages consist of text generated inhouse and mixed advertising (pdf, tiff, psd etc) on the same pages.
We are attempting a digital edition with searchable text. Acrobat 7's OCR does not work with mixed text and graphics. When we convert the files to tiff or jpeg format it errors out with this message: "Unable to process the page because the Paper Capture recognition service unexpectedly terminated."
We do not want to switch all our machines to Acorbat 8 although we might consider a dedicated machine.
Does anyone have strong successful experience making searchable text form mixed graphic and text pages with Acrobat 8? Any other suggestions with either 7 or 8?

> if I "save as" to a tiff of 600ppi shouldn't I be able to bring those tiff files into a new pdf and ocr them?
You should be able to save as TIFF files, make a new TIFF from that.
But if the resolution was too low, or the scans too poor, this won't
improve anything. OCR needs images of a certain quality and detail:
scaling up doesn't add detail.

>I know that if I print all 170 pages onto paper, I will be able to scan them into Acrobat and simultaneously ocr them.
If this works, then something else is preventing it from working (not
quality issues). Really, it seems to me that your Acrobat is broken,
and it needs to be fixed. Did you try a repair?

  • Downloaded Acrobat Pro 7 from Adobe site, won't install, errors out, what do I do now?

    I had Acrobat Pro 7 on my old XP machine. I bought a new Win7 machine. Went to install Acrobat on it from the old CD, with original serial no. Wouldn't activate, said "activation server not available". Went to the Adobe site, that error page linked to a download of an .exe for Acrobat Pro 7 not requiring activation, providing password. So yeah, I thought . . . .Did the whole thing, but the install errors out, every time, and offers no workaround. So I am stuck.  Error popups attached. Any guidance appreciated. I bought the original program, I'm legit.
    The error messages are the usual opaque stuff, I have no idea how I would verify that I have access to a directory that the installer just now created on my hd . . . Why wouldn't I?
    I REALLY really need the Adobe pdf printer driver for all my apps, particularly Sibelius, PDF995 drops things . . . .

    OK, thanks both, yes I have 64-bit so there goes that reliable printer.
    HOWEVER, the URL that 2.Bill gave me is exactly where I downloaded their exe from, the one that *won't install. If you read my post, I am looking for how to make that installer work; I found the folder listed in both error messages, but neither of the referenced files are there, only a similarly named .dll.
    And when I go to delete the entire Acrobat 7 folder so I can start over (I did uninstall it after my install from disk that wouldn't activate), the system tells me I do NOT have access to delete it, I need permission from SYSTEM. But I am the only user on my new PC and as far as I know I have admin rights.
    I waded into the Security settings for the folder, but the system won't let me change them. This is . . . counterintuitive . . .
    I am out of my depth.
    Anyone else have any ideas?
    Thanks for listening,

  • New 15" HD PB's have digital audio in/out - what about older

    I'm wondering if the digital audio in/out capability on the 15" is new to the HD 1.67's or was this on earlier models? I have a 1.25GHz and I'm guessing I don't have it on mine.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    This feature has been introduced to 15" with the release of the new PBs.

    I have a new Ipad air. I have synced it to my PC before. This time I get an error message saying iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device time out - what do I do?

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Short of dismantling and recreating a page how do i find out whats causing [Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]

    Hi,
    i received an indesign file to include in a folio that had links to the creators desktop where they had the assets for the web content overlay. When i try to update the folio i get the error message:
    "Content generation error.
    [Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]"
    Which is fair enough.
    The problem is, i have gone through and changed all URLs that I can see, but there is one somewhere, that I just can't find.
    Is there a way to get a list of all web content overlays in a particular file? otherwise i will need to recreate the whole page again, and it has some pretty complex interactions which i rather wouldn't do.
    I also cannot ask the original doc creator to just change the links as i'm sure he'll have the same issues as me, at not being able to track down the erroneous link.
    The problem I have with DPS is that its not very transparent. you'll have to click on everything, and into every group to see what actions are on it, which can be extremely time consuming and frustrating when complex interactions are included.
    thanks in advance for any assistance

    I’ve found watching the process helpful to narrow down the page.
    Working off a duplicate of the file, delete one layer at a time until you figure out what layer the problem is on.
    From there it’s a bit easier to narrow down.

    What kind of use do you make of your MBP?  A lot of photo or video?  If so, you may be storing a lot of large files.  Look at Finder and see what the file system looks like.  Do you have large libraries of data files associated with applications?
    You may want to think about an external hard drive to use for backups and data storage, you can point applications to the external drive as the default storage location.
    A good source of external drives at a reasonable price is the Mac specialist, OWC, http://www.macsales.com
    I bought their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB dirve last September and set it up to use part for Time Machine backup and part for other work space.  Setup with Disk utility into two partitions is very quick and easy.  Just remember to format as Extended Journaled with GUID partition table.  Setting the partition sizes is by using a braphical image on screen in DU so it is like falling off a log, so easy.

  • How to find out what is causing an error in a BPM process

    I have a very basic question and I can't figure it out from help.sap.com
    I have a BPM process deployed to a SAP NW Java BPM 7.40 system. It can be triggered with a web service call.
    It goes into error immediately. I go to NW Administrator > Operations > Process and Tasks > Manage Processes and see the process with status  "Error". But the "Error log" tab below is grayed out. I can't see any error message anywhere.
    How do I find out what is wrong?

    Ah, I didn't notice that on the history tab I can switch from Basic to Medium or Advanced, in Basic it was showing nothing. In Medium and Advanced it shows:
    Mapping failed

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen. 

  • How do I get out of kernel panic?  kernel panic upon boot.  I did that hard drive cleanup and reinstalled Lion.  What about memory?  Anyone think I need to upgrade my memory?  I have 8gig.

    If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
