OCR Text in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro

Is there a way to set in preferences that when I hit my highlight text button that it automatically OCR the document like it used to? Also is there an OCR button for the tool bar.

To make it appear, press "Ctrl+E". It's known as the properties toolbar and can only be active when you interact with an element (e.g., form field, text box) that allows you to edit. The properties bar changes depending on what type of element is selected and the context.
When creating a new PDF from a blank page, Acrobat allows you to use it, but as yoiu've found, when you save the document and reopen, it is no longer available. This is a special case and it will not work to change the text on a page with other documents.

  • Adding Text to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    I just downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.  I want to add text to fill out an online .pdf application form.  The problem is that that when I try to access the text box tool, it is greyed out.  Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks in advance.

    No, I can't.  I am trying to fill out an application that I downloaded off of the internet.  I thought I could simply click in the area where I need to type but it won't let me.  When I use my cursor it places the cursor next to the text and then when I try to type nothing happens.
    But in answer to your first question, all I want to do is add text, whichever the easiest way it is do that the better!   I have attached the form if that helps.  thanks for responding.

  • Flowable Text Fields - Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

    I'm currently using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and need to design a form with 'flowable' text; how do I do this?

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'flowable' text. Acrobat XI comes with FormsCentral for Acrobat. You can start there to create and generate fillable PDF forms. You can add Formatted Text elements (paragraphs of text) or multi-line text fields. Is that what you need?
    With FormsCentral for Acrobat you can create unlimited numbers of PDF forms without a subscription to FormsCentral but if you want to collect data then you will need to get at least a free FormsCentral subscription.
    Hope this helps

  • Justify text in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro

    Hallo!
    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro v 8.1 and I ask is it possible in Adobe Acrobat while editing justify text just like in Microsoft Office Word? I tried every options and solutions but nothing found to do that. I googled on internet about this topic and I found some picture (look below). On that picture see opened Adobe Acrobat (I don't know which version) with text toolbar just like in MO Word.
    Which version of Acrobat could be with that text toolbar? Is it possible at all justify text in Acrobat?
    Thanks forward for any help.

  • I have paid for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR but it will not recognise a letter in the serial number for me to update my adobe account and any of the programs I have tried using to convert a PDF file on a Mac to a word doc it is converting file with funny sym

    I have been supplied info in an email to copy and paste for a new product purchase "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR" but am unsure how and where to copy and paste to. There is also a link below the serial number. I have tried entering serial number into my Adobe ID but it is not recognising one of the letters in the 24 Digit serial number??? Also I have tried other products previously downloaded to convert a 7 page PDF file on my Mac and convert it to a Word doc but everything I have tried is converting the file to display some text correctly but also displays random symbols and fonts in place of the handwritten info filled in on the form... also getting blank pages included instead of the info??? Would appreciate some help... I am older generation and not always tech savvy, and it is doing my head in haha.

  • How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
    So this what I'm trying to do:
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    (     )   |                  |
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    I have a radio button: (     )
    and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
    The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
    Thanks in advance guys

    Hey, thanks, but it didn't work
    I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?
    Thanks,

  • Keeping redline text "red" when Scanning file in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

    The document is a word document that has several "red" color text and "red" color strikethrough words to show that a particular word is being edited/deleted.  The problem/question I have is that the "red" color in the document, when scanned, does not come out "red?"  The color is dark blue/black?  However, if there are other colors in the word document, these colors come out OK?  Not sure why "only" red strikethroughs or text "colored" red in same document does not come out in "red?"  The following info is sent:  I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro; the reader is Adobe Reader X; and the print/scanner is HP OfficeJet Pro 8600.  Any answers/help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Dear user,
    You are getting such output because you have checked ON the setting 'Print to file' in one of your previous prints. For resolving this issue, kindly uncheck option 'Print to file' present in bottom left corner of print dialog and then click on 'Print' (See attached image for reference).
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Thanks

  • How to replace numbers with text in tax return pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    How do I replace numbers with text in tax return pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro? The tax return was created using CCH software. Thanks for your review.

    Thanks Bill for your quick reply. CCH software is one of the major
    suppliers of tax return software. I found an internal source that helped me
    make the changes from numbers to text i.e. "$123,456" to "See Schedule O".
    I am not sure if I am working in form or final text. Thanks again! Kelly

  • Continuous Text Edits in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    I just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X Pro from version 9 and I'm running into an issue relating to commenting an editing a PDF. In version 9, you could simply select the "Text Edits" button and make continuous edits in a PDF (document created in InDesign) and then send those back. Now with version X, I can't seem to find a way to make continuous edits without having to select the tool over and over again for each individual edit. The "Replace (Ins)" icon works, but again, it takes twice as long. You have to now select the text and then select the "Replace (Ins)" icon and then type your change and then start all over again. Is there a way to enable text editing without having to go back and select the icon over and over again which reduces efficiency considerably?
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Or, if I knew how to change defaults for add text box, that would wok just as well. Thanks
    for any help!

  • Is it possible to choose several folders for the Recognize text-operation in Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    Is it possible to choose several folders for the Recognize text-operation in Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    You can choose multiple files, or a single folder. If you choose a folder,
    though, all of the files in all of its sub-folders will be processed as

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text not smooth.

    I use tablet pc for education in university and I try Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text it not smooth text can you have add-in pen input support or support pen writing (smooth)for tablet pc?

    If you want to annotate the PDF directly on a tablet, use PDF Annotator. The annotation capabilities of Acrobat are poor. You also have to select the erase tool to erase, rather than just turn the pen over. PDF Annotator works the way you would expect annotation to work with a pen. It is also useful if you grade PDFs on the tablet. The only thing I find annoying with Annotator is that the paging is a bit clunky. You should be able to find an educational price for the package, or possibly your school has it under license. There is a 30-day trial if you would like to try it. Most folks here would not dream of annotating with Acrobat for the same reasons you have found.

  • Problems printing PDF's using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    During the last two weeks, I have been unable to print a PDF from my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. They appear okay on the screen, but print as gibberish.
    After consulting the forums, one workaround suggested was to print as image. Tried it, also prints gibberish.
    Another suggestion to update my printer software, did it. Still prints as gibberish. My priner is an Epston Stylus Photo R220.
    I'm a writer, not a software technician. I am not using a bootleg copy of the program, but an educational version, so Adobe won't offer me any advice over the phone without payment.
    Anything else I could try before paying?

    [email address deleted by host]

    I have same problem as described above, but not always.  Seems to depend on the web page I am trying to print to Adobe. One consistent culprit is Bank of America.  Looks okay until I print to Adobe Acrobat 9 or 10. Then it's gibberish.  i had to copy to Word and then print Word to Acrobat or printer.  
    . Various computers,
    . same problem with either Acrobat 9 or 10.
    . Not a problem printing to Acrobat from a Word or Excel or Outlook document
    . Only from certain websites and not the entire page, only the OCR part. The objects: logos, pictures are okay, only text is messed up.
    Definitely would like Adobe to fix this.

  • Languages in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding what languages Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro works in and can recognise.
    I need to confirm if the following lanaguages can be recognised in this above program...
    Arabic, Aramaic and Mathematical & Scientific characters and formulae.
    I also need French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Greek - but I was quite confident it would recognise these.
    Thanks in advance

    Can I just add...
    I am refering to when you OCR a document.....what languages will it recognise?
    Is there an add on pack available?

  • In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.0 - Flatten file so it is not editable even by Acrobat

    In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.0 I use the Flatten option under Preflight but when I go back into the document using Acrobat and use Edit Text & Images, I am able to edit and delete items in the document. I also tried Flatten Preview -> Apply but this didn't work either. I finally tried to print the document as a pdf but the same thing happens. If a document is flattened, it should not be editable by any software but it seems that if someone has Acrobat, they will be able to edit the pdf I send them. Can you please tell me how I can truly flatten a pdf file so that it is not editable by at all?

    " If a document is flattened, it should not be editable by any software " who as claimed this, and where? Sounds like twaddle.
