OPTIMIZE SCANNED PDF PROBS Acrobat Pro 9

"Optimize Scanned PDF" option under DOCUMENT seems to do a great job, only problem is that it seems to take parts of the document and overlap itself. The source PDF is fine. But the result always have these overlaps.
The only way I can describe it is that after optimization it looks like when 2 pages feed in a fax or copier machine and you get part of one document over the other. This happens with single and multipage PDFs. Anybody know how to fix this??

Thanks apangasa, but the link you provided is for the Windows version.
"*Acrobat X Pro is available as a software trial for Windows® users only. A trial version of Acrobat X Pro for Mac OS is currently not available. However, the full version of Acrobat X Pro for Mac OS is available for purchase."
Not sure I want to buy something without the opportunity to test it, especially with all the problems I've had. But if the reports are that it solves issues with 9, I might bite the bullet. I guess, depending on the retailer, I could return it if the issues persist.

  • Is 'Optimize Scanned PDF' available in Acrobat X Standard?

    Can anyone with Acrobat X Standard tell me whether the 'Optimize Scanned PDF' option is available?  We have need to buy a new license and this is one feature that we use, but I can't determine whether this feature is available in Standard or if I would need to buy the Pro version.  Thanks!

    Yes, Optimize Scanned PDF comes with Acrobat Standard also.

  • "Optimize Scanned PDF" to shrink filesize

    It works great! But I have about a terabyte's worth of PDFs that were accidentally scanned as grayscale and I need to optimize away the huge file sizes. Is there any way I can programmatically run this operation on multiple files? Perhaps an API that gives me access to the functionality of "Optimize Scanned PDF"?

    I am looking for the same thing, I have seen screenshots of Acrobat 7 Pro that has "scanned pages" within PDF Optimizer.
    However Acrobat 8 Pro which i have doesn't seem to have any option for "optimize scanned pages" under the batch processing tool, even under "output options>pdf optimizer" where I would expect for it to be, or under preflight.

  • Optimize Scanned PDF in batch mode?

    I see 'OCR' as an option for batch commands, but there's no 'Optimize Scanned PDF'. Yes I can call the Optimizer in the Output options, but it doesnt reduce the file size like like 'Optimize Scanned PDF' does. I've tried different settings in the Optimizer but I cant come up with whatever 'Optimize Scanned PDF' does.
    I cant understand why Adobe did not put this command as an option to run in batch mode.
    Is there any way to run this command through Javascript? I'm trying different options.

    Acrobat 9 Pro and Pro Extended offer "Optimize Scanned PDF" as an "out of the box" sequence.
    There's no Adobe JavaScript mechanism for this.
    Be well...

  • Locking down the Optimize Scanned PDF checkbox

    Hello,
    Is there a way to grey out or lockdown the "Optimize Scanned PDF" option when Creating a pdf from a scanner? I can't seem to find if there is a registry key or location for this option.
    Also where does Acrobat store the "Defaults" for these presets? Also this is Adobe Acrobat 11.

    I have this same EXACT problem.  Why doesnt adobe address this issue right away?  Why are things getting worst and worst as adobe releases versions of adobe acrobat pro.  I did not have this problem for Adobe acrobat pro 8.
    Since deskewing is a very prominent feature in acrobat and used alot, adobe should fix this problem asap.

  • How to save an edited PDF in Acrobat Pro without any compression

    Hi,
    I just edited an existing PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 - actually I inserted some high resolution images in TIFF via the Touchup tool.
    What do I have to do to save it without any compression of the TIFFs - I tried a lot, but the outcome is always compressed, showing artifacts.
    Thanks

    First, editing PDFs is really only for minor fixups. There is generally no word wrap or such when doing such editing and often then seem to go downhill fast. To edit text, you have to have the font available. If the file was scanned and the OCR applied was searchable text, the only option to edit what is displayed is with a graphics editor, typically PhotoShop. PhotoShop allows Acrobat to have edited graphics and then be reinserted in the file (I don't do it, so can't give details). ClearScan replaces what is seen on screen in the graphic with the text. In that case, you see all of the text and the corresponding errors (often many). You may want to load a graphic (bitmap) with text showing or use a scan and try the various versions of OCR to see what I am talking about. That may help you see the options. Searchable PDFs is more useful if an original is critical, such as in the legal profession.

  • Automation of optimize scanned pdf

    Hi,
         We have a requirement of compressing pdfs using Acrobat. We used to do it manually with an action by invoking "Optimize Scanned PDF". However since the amount of pdf to be compressed has grown exponentially we are planning to automate this task. Is there any way of achieving this like from IAC or through any programming language without human intervention.Or do I need any other software/plugin to achieve this task
    Thanks

    No answer ?? At least any suggestions would be helpful ..

  • Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

    Hi!
    I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
    I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
    I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
    If anyone can help!
    This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

    Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
    I just updated my software, thanks for that!
    Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
    Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
    Any other idea?
    Thanks!!
    Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

  • Is it possible to edit a pdf with Acrobat Pro XI that was created in LiveCycle?

    I downloaded a trial version of LiveCycle awhile back. I created several forms. The trial period ended and I would like to change something. When I try to edit the pdf in Acrobat Pro it tells me that I must use LiveCycle to edit it. Is there a workaround for this? Thank you in advance for any replies.
    Dana

    No, all LCD forms can only be edited in LCD.
    And the second trial is probably not going to work, unless you install it
    on a different computer.
    The best way to salvage your form, in my experience, is to print it to the
    Adobe PDF printer, creating a new flat PDF file and then running the Form
    Detection Wizard in Acrobat on it and continuing from there. It probably
    won't do a perfect job, but it should recognize some of the fields.

  • How to embed a mp4 video into a pdf with acrobat pro XI?

    I'm  trying to embed a mp4 video into a pdf using Acrobat Pro XI.  When I try to play the video, all I see is a black box. The video is H.264 codec. I've tried on a PC and Mac and get the same results.

    Video playback in the Acrobat Family uses Flash Player, so if it works in FP (loaded via an HTML page) then it should work in your PDF. First suggestion is to use the free MediaInfo tool to check exactly what the internal structure reports as.

  • Please advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.

    Where is the button animation in Acrobat Pro DC?
    Can you give me advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.
    I have Acrobat PRO DC .
    Thank you.

    Hi George,
    I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit. 
    I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
    I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects.  I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image.  The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF.  Does this make more sense?  I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

  • Print only cursor-selected area of a PDF in Acrobat Pro, just as it is psbl to do in a browser

    Hi
    I want to print only cursor-selected area of a PDF in Acrobat Pro. That could be both text and images, which are in my selection. Just as it is psbl to do in a browser. Is it possible in Acrobat PRO?
    I am using the latest Acrobat Pro 11.0.9

    Thanks for your effort but this again clearly does NOT answer my question. I do see a particular problem and that is that I might want to select text and images over a range of multiple pages. In a doc of 20 pages I might want to make a single selection of the text starting PRECISELY at the MIDDLE of page 2 and then continue dragging my selection all the way to PRECISELY the MIDDLE of page 15, thereby selecting all text and images within the precise range of my selection. That is some 13 pages there and I want to print out ONLY THAT selection of text and images. And in that case I cannot use your suggestion with the marquee zoom. Do you get me?
