OCR without Deskew (or at least without resize)

I have been scanning some magazine articles that I would like make OCR searchable. However, if there is any skew at all in the resulting source PDF file, Acrobat deskews first. Since the Acrobat deskew ALSO resizes the page, this results in a PDF where each page size is different than the prior one.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do OCR in acrobat which either (i) will not deskew at all or (ii) will deskew but not increase the physical page size as a result of the deskew?
Thanks!

Thank you for your response, but that doesn't answer the question.
If a PDF exists, and you want to add text searchability to it, Acrobat is your shot. I am still asking if anyone knows hot to use the Acrobat OCR function to embed recognized text WITHOUT deskewing (or resizing) the pages.
Thanks

  • What happens on resize (and how can I force it to happen without resizing)?

    Hello everybody!
    After running into this for the umpteenth time, I have decided to ask somebody who knows better. So, here goes:
    Often, when I change something in the layout of an applet or an application (e.g. removing a JComponent and replacing it with another one), it doesn't get updated. I need to resize the Application window or the AppletViewer window, and then the change is correctly displayed and everything works fine. For Applets, I figured out that I can pack() as a workaround, but this can have some nasty side effects. I haven't been able to find anything for Applets though (an Applet doesn't have a pack() method).
    So, does anyone know what exactly happens when I resize that window and why then my changes to the layout are applied? And, more importantly, what I have to do to reproduce this effect without resizing?
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Wojtek

    Thanks for the reply! Doesn't work though (invalidate-revalidate was one of my first tries...):
    - Applet has no revalidate().
    - If I put all my stuff into an extra JPanel that I add to the Applet, and revalidate() the JPanel after changing the stuff in it, nothing happens, I still need to resize.
    Any other ideas?

  • Drag and Drop into Photoshop layer without resizing the source image

    Hello,
    I am using Photoshop CS5, 64bit, in Windows 7.
    I went through following steps and getting result that I do not want:
    1. Open an existing photopshop file.
    2. From the explorer window of my folder, select 100 png files and drag into the graphics area of the open photoshop image.
    Result: Photoshop resizes the png file and place it as a layer. It also asks me to commit the resizing for each individual file that I dragged and drop. Sometimes, it takes it as 100% scale, sometimes, 98%, sometimes 102%. If I change it to 100%, then it is not the original size. The image become larger and blurry.
    Expected Result: Place 200 png files as separate layer of the open photopshop without resizing it.
    My png files are icons that don't need resizing. I cannot tweak 200 images just to get this to the original dimension!
    Other things I tried:
    I turned off the "Preference->General->Resize Image During Place". I also turned off "Place or Drag Raster Images as Smart Objects".
    I still get the same result. I need nothing smart here. Just let me place images without any smart stuff!
    I also went to help and googled. I could not find what I need.
    Thank you!

    That works!!
    Thank you!

  • Print image without resizing

    I need to print some PNG images which are larger than one page.
    Preview won't do this without resizing, but that will make the image unusable.
    How can I print images across more than one page?
    I tried AppleWorks (yuck) but images come out all fuzzy (and unusable).

    I think PageStream & maybe even GraphicConverter could do it... PageStream could do it on my Ataris since about 1989, haven't tried such in the latest though, but did try printing out a square acre with it once... decided I couldn't afford the paper, but it was coming out true for the 1st 200+ pages!
    PS. I do stupid things for FUN!

  • OCR without rotating image

    In Acrobat 9 I can't find any setting to disable image automatic rotating of recognized documments by OCR.
    I have usually very exact position of originals and I don't need this teature.
    Besides, after this rotating by 0,0... degrees, Acrobat ruins image and add some linear deformates.
    Please, help me how to make OCR without rotate image.

    I am assuming that when you open your photo in CS5 that the layer is automatically locked?
    If yes, then you can right click that layer and there is an option at the top called "Layer From Background...".
    This unlocks that layer without having to duplicate it.
    To rotate an image without changing dimensions of the actual photo?  When you rotate an image the width and the height dimensions are switch depending on how you rotate.
    Under Edit>>Transform, you will get 4 different options to rotate.
    The rotate at the top is to manually rotate the image.  The other rotates are presets which might be what your after.

  • Swing GUI isn't showing up properly without resizing window

    I am developing a Java GUI with Swing. I have not used any paintComponents or paint commands for anything - all Swing. Every time I run the code, I get the JFrame to come up, but all I can see is the background. Only after I resize the window (manually, with the mouse) do I see the boxes and JComboBox, etc. What is the problem? I've tried googling it, and I can't find a thing. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Change slide size without resizing objects?

    Is it possible to change the slide size without causing Keynote '09 to resize all the objects on each slide?

    As far as I can tell it's not possible. You have to make a new presentation with the size you want and copy paste everything from the previous presentation into it.

  • Placing images without resize?

    When I put some images into a psd via placement instead of copy/paste, the images are resized, often by a lot. It appears that different resolutions is the reason.
    Image sizes are retained in copy/paste, but placement is faster, so I'm wondering if it's possible to retain image sizes via placement without tweaking the resolutions.
    Disabling "Resize Image During Place" doesn't help. Neither does changing the W and H values to 100% during placement, as it appears that the images were already resized so that 100% of the placed images are still way off of the original image sizes.
    Thanks!

    As Wade said, I don't think this is any bug. sounds mor like you are using some sort of hyper-sensitive input device (or misconfigured one) that causes accidental selection and move of existing work.

  • Run Batch OCR Without Changing File Modification Date

    I'm running Acrobat X Pro (as part of CS6) and would like to batch OCR all of the PDFs on my PC (probably over 1,000 files) without changing the "modify" date of the files (otherwise they will all change to the date of the OCR, which will make it more difficult to find files when sorting by date because they'll all come up as the same date).  Is there a way to do this?
    If I've posted this in the wrong place, please tell me where to post it.
    Thanks!

    No. The modification date is a system function and requires access to the file info in the file directory to change, not something that programs normally do. There are programs that allow changing the dates, or used to be anyway. All I know to do is to create a text file with a directory of the PDF files, then go back and change the dates back to those dates. It has been a while since I have played with file dates, but it might be able to be automated (though probably with a fair amount of programming skill).

  • Can you resize a slide without resizing text?

    When I try to lengthen my slide, Keynote resizes all of my text, horribly distorting the layout. Is there a way to prevent Keynote from doing this?

    Michael,
    I've been trying to replicate your problem without success.
    Would you please tell us what you mean by "lengthen" or send an image of your distorted slide?
    Normally, to change the size of a slide you use the Document Inspector > Slide Size and Select from available options. Even if you customize the dimensions, the text is usually well behaved.

  • Image swap without resize

    Greetings. I have to create image swaps without having the
    image resize
    to the layer size. Is there a way to do this? Is there a
    behavoiur I
    can purchase that will do this?
    Any help appreciated.
    Remove $$ to email directly.
    Thanks.

    Or, simply remove the dimensions from the base image's
    <img> tag. This will
    work although if the images are grossly different in size, it
    may cause your
    page to dance around (perhaps unacceptably) as the roll-in
    image loads.

  • Edit scales without resizing a graph

    I'm using an intensity graph in order to show an image acquire by a camera. The size of the 2D array linked to the graph is related to the number of pixels of the image. But I do not want the scale to be in pixels but in µm, knowing that 1 pixel is 5.29*5.29 µm.
    How can I change the scale of the intensity graph in order to show µm without changing the plot area?
    Thank you.

    zyl7,
    the parameters you are looking for are properties from the graph itself. Therefore, you have to look around a bit in the property node from a graph... i am sure you will find out quite quick what i mean.
    There are some examples provides with LV, but they are commonly focused on a special control; sadly i havent found one for intensity charts/graphs.... but this link can help you.
    hope this helps,

  • Center the component without resize in JPanel

    Hi, I have a JPanel in a JFrame. I put in this JPanel objects that extends from a JPanel. It works all ok, but I want to center the components that I include. I use the BorderLayout.CENTER , but the components automaticly have resize it and this is verry bad.
    How can I make the center position of the components witchout to resize it?
    Thanks verry much!
    Nikolay

    BoxLayout is good. We use that almost exclusively for our GUI layouts.
    To centre both horizontally and vertically you can do this:panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
    panel.add(Box.createGlue());
    panel.add(component);
    panel.add(Box.createGlue());Regards,
    Tim

  • Save a low res copy without resizing current file?

    Quite often I need to save a lower resolution snapshot of the psd file I'm working on (e.g. to send out as proof).
    What I do is resize the image, save the jpg file, then undo the resize, and continue working on the file. However this is kind of risky -- I may forget to undo the resize and then save the file.
    Is there a safer way to do this?

    If you do a lot of these you can use the built-in functionallity.
    File - Scripts - Script Events Manager
    Tick the checkbox to Enable Events to Run Scripts/Actions
    Select Photoshop Event ( Save Document )
    Select Script (Save Extra JPEG )
    Click the Add button
    An extra JPEG will then be saved next to the current document when you do a save.

  • Howto fit content without resizing?

    Is it possible to make a bitmap constantly align to the upper-left of its frame - but not having the bitmap resize?

    No prob, Kasper. The bit about an "override" is this: InDesign allows for creation of "styles" that make formatting of text and objects faster & easier to control than doing everything manually. So if you go to Window -> Styles -> Object Styles, you'll see a Basic Graphics Frame and a Basic Text Frame. You can create as many object styles as you want, with as many or as few features (fill? stroke? drop shadow? transparency?) as you like, and then apply them all at once with one click. Frame Fitting Options just happens to be one of the many object parameters you can control with an Object Style.
    Of course, if you want to diverge from your style a bit, you can manually tweak whatever you want. If you've applied manual formatting to an object that you set up with an Object STyle, then a little plus symbol appears next to the style name when you've selected it, indicating that you've overridden the style definition with some manual formatting.
    So, feel free to continue using Frame FItting Options manually. But if you are dealing with a large number of objects, and your mouse-clicking muscle is tired from the number of clicks you need to go through per object to set it up the way you want (direct select tool -> right click on object -> navigate to Frame Fitting Options -> make selections in dropdown and reference proxy -> hit OK), just be aware of this other way of styling objects (select object -> select object style) exists.
    Also, when your client says "I love it! But can you make all 1,200 images hug the lower left instead of the upper left?" you can do it in five clicks, instead of 6000 clicks.
