PDF Scanned in a PDF Text document?

How can I convert a PDF Scanned file in a PDF text document??
Regards

Unfortunately, you cannot change a scan into live text using Adobe Reader. At a minimum you would need Adobe Acrobat to run what's called Optical Character Recognition.
What I've recommended to people in the past is to use the drawing markup tools to draw boxes around the text they want highlighted then play around with the fill color of the box until they get something close to what they want.

How can I export a PDF form and the filled in fields to a text document?

OK, so I have a situation. I need people to be able to open a reader-enabled PDF form, fill out the form fields, and then export the filled-out PDF form to a basic text document. This seems easy since Adobe Reader can save to text. The problem is, the answers in the form fields do not show in the text file! Each radio button shows as yes and no, and there is no indication in the text file which one was selected. In addition, the form fields are not exported next to the questions on the form. I tried flattening the form in Adobe pro, and that did not work either.
How can I create a fillable form for Adobe Reader, and then let the user export their answers AND the questions on the form to plain text?

OK, so I tried this as a starting point, and assigned it to a button on page 3 of the form.
p=0;
console.show();
console.clear();
for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNumWords(p);j++) {
      var word = this.getPageNthWord(p,j,false);
      console.println(word);
This gives me all the words on the first page not in fields, and each word goes on a separate line. Now, characters in the document such as "&" or ")" cause the rest of the word to go on the next line down.
Next, I tried this:
console.show();
console.clear();
for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNthWord(j);j++)
      var word = this.getPageNthWord(j,false);
      console.println(word);
This only gives me the first word on page 3, the page the button is placed?
What I need to do is run the code and place words on one line until the code hits a keyword "var cKeyWord1 = “Key1” for example?, then insert the value of field one, Start a new line in the console, restart the code where it left off until it hits the next key word "var cKeyWord2 = “Key2”, insert the value of field two, add a new line, and on and on.
Is this possible?

How do I remove a green background from a pdf text document?

I posted this question yesterday and received one reply. I wanted to respond to the reply, but couldn't find a link or "button" to click on that would enable me to do that, so I'm doing it here. As I'm new to this site, please advise me where the link is, if there is one.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that PDF was proprietary, with one "owner" and that PDF was PDF, so it didn't matter what program you had on your computer because PDF was universal. Second, when I googled Nuance pdf, I was directed to this site, specifically the "Create, Edit and Export PDF's" section. Third, I also have Adobe Acrobat with pdf and a bunch ofother Adobe products on my computer. So, that brings me back to my original question, how do I get rid of a green background on a pdf text document, so I don't use up all my ink when I print it. Thanks for your patience and help.

I still use Office 2008 but have not encountered that issue. However, as Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

Sending a text document as pdf by email.

Hi,
I have a plain text document that needs to be send as a pdf document by email. The line type of the text document is PC408-linda, which is 132-character length. I am trying to use the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 for sending the document which uses structure SOLISTI1 for sending the document. The line size of SOLISTI1 is 256 characters. I tried to send 132-character length internal table instead of the given structure for the FM, it didnt work. Later, I put the 132-charcter line into the 256-character length line, which works well. But, I have a problem when the outgoing system converts the 256-character length into pdf document. It breaks the line.
Can you please suggest me how can I fit this 132-chracter line in the above FM or Is there any alaternateive FM for sending this 132-character lines, which will fit in the pdf format.
Lokman

Scan to pdf failed to load pdf document (wireless)

I have a photosmart d110a and I cannot scan wireless to PDF file (get error failed to load pdf document)
I am able to scan to JPEG,
This has always worked before.
This is on multiple computers: ChromeOS, and Mac operating systems.
I have checked to see if software update to date and it is.
I have unplugged printer to see if that would help and did not.
Printing works fine with no problems.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hello everyone, I've been looking into this issue,
Tom - Due to feature limitations, the abilities you are looking for don't appear to be available with this printer. I would recommend a USB connection to scan.

It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

Preview.App does not find text in pure text pdf works in other PDF viewers

Hi I am using reportlab an open source python based pdf generating package to generate pdf reports.
The generated pdfs are searchable using Adobe acrobat and Google -Gmails built in pdf viewer . However in Preview.App the text seems to be only recognized as individual characters . For eg the text "hello world" will not match hello or world , but typing just h into the search bar will show up matched text as "h el l o" . So although visibly the text appears as a single word , semantically the words just seem to be composed of one or two characters.
Only Preview.App seems to have a problem with the generated pdf. Adobe Acrobat ( Mac and Windows) , Google-Gmail pdf-view , Evince-Gnome-PDF viewer ( Linux) dont have any problem with finding the text in the PDF documents generated.
I have a thread in the reportlab user forum discussing the issue (see http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2009-August/008643.html). ANd the problem definitely seems to be with Preview.App . The pdf (sample see example text in corner) is available at this url ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/code-itch/searchtext.pdf)
The app is targeted at scientist Mac users . And I want to have the pdf reports searchable and indexed by spotlight , so getting this working is very important for me.
Your help is greatly appreciated
Hari

The posts on the reportlab newsgroup suggest that
"> If the preview is actually rendering the pdf and then searching, the 0
degrees case should be searchable. If that's the way the search is happening
then it's no surprise that the search should fail if the rendered letters
are at 90deg." -Robin Becker
Test cases show that search fails completely at rotations of 90 , succeed partially at rotations of 45, succeed fully at rotations of 0.
So , is there a way to prevent Preview from only searching the final rendered PDF. The pdf I am complaining about are searched fine in the many other PDF readers I tested that probably handle search differently.

how do you try attaching the file?
what happens when you try?

Hey Patricia Davis,
Firstly, please clarify whether you are trying to use scanner or printer option as both are different.
What exactly are you trying to do with your document? Do you face the same issue with all documents or any specific one?
Is there any error message that prompts on your screen?

Scan in a PDF format in HP laserjet M1319f MFP printer

How to scan in a PDF format when the scanner is not showing that option in HP laserjet M1319f MFP printer when it has been installed in a new HP computer with Windows8pro operating system downloading it from HP website ad the Cd that came with the printer did not support this operating system

Hello yagnya31,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you are trying to install and scan with the HP LaserJet M1319f MFP, but are not getting a .PDF option. Printing and scanning with the Windows 8 Operating System is described as basic. The .PDF file type should be available regardless, of the software being basic or full feature. Take a look at this HP document: How to Scan: Windows 8 to learn about the different ways to scan.
See if those methods of scanning gives you the .PDF file type.

HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf MP scanning to a PDF

I have a HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf MP in my classroom. I need to to be able to scan to a PDF for my confidential documents. I have tried unistalling, reinstalling, setting up printing preferences, updating adobe, and using a different computer.It has previously worked on this computer until I had to reimage it. The only options it gives me for scanning is TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and BMP.
Thanks!

Hello @ssoileau , and welcome to the HP Forums.
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Commercial LaserJet Forums.
I hope this helps!

How do I scan & save a PDF in just ONE step?

How do I scan & save a PDF in just ONE step? I can easily scan a document to an OCR'd PDF, but it does not seem to save it until I manually select "save". Seems there should be a way to set up scans to a particular folder destination, with a naming convention & auto numbering, such as YYYYmmDD-0001, YYYYmmDD-0002, etc. I've looked thru the Create>PDF form scanner>configure presets, and no such item seems to exist. There IS a "add to existing document", but that's not what I want to do. I just want to select "scan", and have it create an OCR'd PDF file in a folder.

Hi,
You can achieve this via Action wizard. Auto Numbering is not possible however you can combine Scan and Save As in one action.
Click Tool>Action Wizard
Create New Action
See screenshot and set the options that i have highlighted in blue
Let me know if that helps.
