OCR to searchable image deletes all text on every page except first page

This problem only occurs with scanned .pdfs I receive from one particular firm.  When I get them, I run text recognition on them setting output to a 600 dpi searchable image.  What happens is that as soon as the processing starts, all the pages turn blank except for the first.  That is if I have a 10 page doc, page 1 is processed and looks fine, but pp. 2-9 end up completely blank.  I know it sounds bizarre.  I'm pretty sure the problem has something to do with how Acrobat creates/handles layers, but the fact that there can be layers totally exhausts my knowledge.  This problem occurs both at the office where I use Windows 7 and Acrobat X, and at home where I use a Mac (OS X 10.10.2 and Acrobat XI), so it's not version or OS-specific.  It's got to have something to do with the nature of the these scanned docs I'm getting from this one source.
The problem does not occur if I set the output to ClearText, but there are reasons why I don't want to scan to ClearText.
I found an old thread here (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/794667?tstart=0) that suggested that a solution is to go to Tools - Document Processing - Optimize Scanned Image, and check the box that says OCR it too while optimizing.  That solution in fact works fine and doesn't give me the blank pages as regular text recognition does.
So I've got two workarounds.  But I'd sort of like to understand why the problem is occurring in the first place, and hopefully how to avoid it w/o having to use either workaround.
Thanks for any advice/insight.

Michael,
Could you please share the sample document on which this issue is happening? That would help us figure out what is going on.
Thanks

  • Deleting all text boxes and images on one layer

    I am designing a 240 page book where nearly every page contains at least one image and at least one text box.  The book will be printed with a varnish (a fifth plate) on every image.
    The printer has instructed me to set up the varnish in the following way in InDesign:
    With the finished book, make a duplicate layer.
    Delete all text boxes on the new layer (including page numbers)
    Delete all images (but not their containers) on the new layer
    Fill all the empty image containers with 100% black
    I have done this previously with an even bigger book, and it did of course take several hours, and it's also easy to make mistakes. So I thought it might be possible to do this with a script - only problem is I know nothing about scripting - so I wonder if someone would be willing to help me out?
    Thanks in advance! Using ID CS5.5, win xp pro sp3.

    Hi Both,
    I am having a similar problem.
    I have to extract all images to a new layer, without modifying the size of the container.
    As long as I am not an expert in scripting I have tried to do a simple code to obtain all links and go to its parent to change its itemlayer property to the new layer. But it is not what I am looking for and it has not work.
    The layout of the current layer is based in tables, so images are anchored objects inside table cells, so when I run the simple script I mentioned I also get errors becuase it says the items are grouped. And even if I first run a script to ungroup everything I get the error.
    I would appreciate help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Patick,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I still don't know how to do it.
    1. Have a look at the documentation for Page 0.
    There is no Page 0 in my application
    2. You can add your custom stuff to your page templates.
    Could you give me more detail on this?

  • IPhone 6 plus- how to delete some of the texts feeds in a conversation from a sender without deleting all texts from sender?

    How can you delete some of the text messages  from a sender without deleting the entire conversation from that sender? After selecting the message or messages...the top left option is "delete all" and the top right says "cancel". I simply want to save some of the history of the texts and delete those that are no longer needed.

    Hey Mari7Can,
    Thanks for the follow up. Hmmm…the options should have shown at the bottom of the screen. Let’s try forcing the Messages application to close and restarting your phone:

  • Iphone deleted all text messages on restart

    Hi all,
    Yesterday my phone was hanging so I gave it a restart. Once it came back up it had deleted all of my messages. Is there any way to get these back without "restore"? I had an issue before where it would not back up, which was solved by removing and reinstalling iTunes. However, the backup was very old.
    I have been told that the iphone puts all old messages in a database, even when they have been deleted. I backed up straight away.
    Please please can someone help me restore the text messages, or at the very least, tell me how I can go about viewing them on my computer (csv for example).
    Beer to who ever solves this!
    Thanks.

    Your MacBook shoul NOT be too old to run Leopard. (10.5) Snow Leopard, maybe, but not Leopard.
    When you go to the Genius Bar, MAKE SURE the genius knows you are NOT up to date with your  OS. If they try to update your phone, you could find yourself unable to sync at all...
    That said, if you're nice to them, they might just give you a copy of Leopard so you can get current with iTunes and iOS. It's been known to happen.

  • Siri 8.2 Bug: siri deletes all text after pressing "Done"

    After the upgrade to 8.2, when dictating text through Safari into an open field, once you press "Done" to end Siri dictation, all text entered is deleted.
    We have tested this multiple times with both 8.2 based iPhones (5S, 6 and 6+).   All 8.1 based units work fine.  All 8.2 units fail.
    How does one go about reporting such an issues to Apple?

    HI,
    I am having the same issue in IOS 8.2. The dictation feature is useless because it erases everything i have written, or certain characters. Now i cant use it in MS Word. This is a big problem for ppl that heavily relies on it for writing messages, articles, etc. Please we need a soon fix Apple!!

  • How to delete ALL text messages in Inbox at once? ...

    Hi All,  I'm a newbie here so be gentle.... 
    I've noticed that opening new texts has become increasingly slow over the last few months - ie I go to open it and it takes about 8-10 seconds before the message actually appears.  I am assuming that this may be because I have allowed my inbox to accumulate no fewer than 1650 text messages.
    I would like to delete ALL of them at once, if possible, rather than having to delete them one-by-one, which will inevitably take about 382 hours to do so at this rate
    Many thanks in advance for any suggestions on this matter 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am afraid I have not tried the 6110 but if it works the same as other Symbian phones you can choose the Mark/Unmark > Mark All option to select all SMS and then simply select Delete. Should do the trick.

  • Ability to globally delete all text/topics that have a certain conditional tag?

    When deleting a conditional tag in FrameMaker, there is an option to either delete all tagged text, or make the text unconditional. But in Robohelp, it seems the only option is to make the text unconditional. Is there any way to delete all the text with a specific conditional tag, other than deleting it manually? I am using Robo 7. Is there an option to do this in the newer versions? Thanks!

    If you are bringing in content from FrameMaker and want to delete (not bring) certain content having a conditional text applied in the FM source, then while conversion there is a simple way to achieve it, apply "FrameMaker condition text build Expression" during Import/Link FM source.
    If you use this option while you import or Link any FM source with conditions, then all the text/content having condition set as hidden in FrameMaker will get remove from the topics generated
    but inside RoboHelp you dont have this option to directly remove content from topic, but while generating any output you have the option to exclude any content with a condition applied over it!
    Hope this will help

  • HT201323 Delete all music in iTunes Match except Purchased items

    How can I delete all of my uploaded music in iTunes Match (cloud) EXCEPT for my iTunes purchased music?

    HI
    Make a smart playlist based on iCloud status not purchased. Select all tracks in list (cmd + A) then delete tracks (option + delete). As tracks have already been deleted from your hard drive, you will not get message to keep or move files to trash but you will get message telling you that the tracks will be moved from the cloud and will no longer be available in the cloud.
    Doing this will clear iTunes match. Do you have a back up of your music on an external drive?

  • How to add a image at the top of every pages of a pdf document

    Hi all,
    My problem is as follows. I have a .pdf document and I'm copying it to another and then I'm appending some new things to it. Now while adding new pdf contents I want an image to be added for every new pages added to the document. I tried using "document.getPageNumber()" here document is a Document object which is a part of "itext-1.3.1.jar". But "document.getPageNumber()" is returning 0 every time.
    If anyone has the solution please help me out.
    Regards,
    turja

    there is no cursor to be set, as you go adding
    something in the pdf document those get added to that
    document and if one page gets filled it adds new page
    to it.If it says "current" page, then this implies that something is current with regards to something else. I'd like to know what "something else" is.

  • Need to create 500 designs, all identical in every way except for a unique QR code

    Hi there. I am using Photoshop CS6.
    I have a design from which I want to create 500 versions of an image. All will be identical, except for the QR code which will be unique for every one.
    The placement of the QR code will be identical in all of them. It's just the actual QR code that changes.
    Any idea how I can achieve this in an automated way? I have the QR codes in a folder, already created, and I have the design already created. I just need to marry up the 2 now and end up with 500 design files to give to the printers for printing.
    Thanks for any direction on how to do this!
