PDF search utility problem

I am a book editor and work with very large files. When I search a PDF to find out whether, for example, "Mr " appears without a period, the search results include "Mr." and "Mrs." even though I did not type a period and even though I selected exact word or phrase. Is it really not possible to search "GWC" without getting "G. W. C." among the reponses? This is so frustrating. How can I resolve this problem?

For find/search the PDF's fonts must map to Unicode. Perhaps the font being used has some issue there.
Be well...

    Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • PDF search for term with space yields term with hyphen

    Hi,
    I've encountered what seems to be an unpleasant problem in PDF searches, and am wondering whether it's known or has a solution.
    In words, the problem is that when I perform a PDF search for a term with a space I get results for the term with a hyphen substituted for the space.
    Example: If I open this PDF (technical document from Freescale Semiconductor), and search for the term
    D cache
    I expect to find occurrences of the term "D cache", space and all. The term is in fact not in the PDF -- but the PDF search reports several instances found. Trouble is, the term it finds is
    D-cache
    This is unexpected, because a space is not the same as a hyphen. And this causes me problems, because I can't search for the space-separated term without hitting "false positives".
    I've tried this on Acrobat 9 Professional, Reader 9, and Acrobat 10 Professional, on Windows XP and Windows 7, using both quick search and advanced search with all possible permutations of options. The result is nonetheless the same.
    If you know of a solution to this problem, I would appreciate it if you shared it. Thank you!

    how to implement pdf  search and pdf text search in office 365

    The need for OCR is dependent on the type of PDF file being indexed.  Some PDFs are images of text and require OCR to be indexed (which is not available in O365).  But most PDFs today are text based and fully index-able.  OCR isn't a default
    for the iFilter on-premises either it is a custom install.  The default iFilter used on-premises is the same one used in Office 365 and will index more than metadata if the PDF contains index-able text.

  • Airport Extreme Utility problem with Vista (works with XP, MacOS)

    Hi,
    I just setup a new Airport Extreme network at my house, and most things are working fine. I have wirelessly connected at various points an Airport Express (using WDS), a MacBook Pro (OSX) and an IBM Thinkpad. I have several wired machines as well.
    My problem: The wired machine I use to configure and setup everything is a Vista Ultimate machine. Unfortunately, the Airport Utility won't connect to the Airport Extreme (or Airport Express for that matter) from Vista. The utility works fine from XP or OSX, but not from Vista. Note that I'm using this in a wired capacity. The Vista machine is directly connected to the Airport Extreme, while several other machine are connected through a GBit switch.
    Any help would be much appreciated? Is this a Vista security problem or an Airport Utility problem with Vista?

    It's most likely a security issue with Windows Vista. Vista has the ability to set "compatibility modes" for applications.
    Try:
    1. right mouse clicking the Airport Utility's .exe file.
    2. Click the Compatibility tab. Change the Compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
    3. Now go down to "Privilage Level" and check the "Run this program as an administrator"
    Apple never tells you this but you must connect to the Airport Extreme wirelessly. Now run the Airport Utility. You should see it.

    I created a publisher file, saved it as a pdf. The problem is I created it landscape and it only shows portrait cutting the sides off my document.

    Sounds as if you used Microsoft software to make a PDF. If so, and you didn't use Adobe Acrobat ($$), then you need to get help with Publisher -- Adobe Reader only shows what you make.

    Hey -
    Thanks for taking the trouble to respond - appreciated. I did post the details you requested and sent you IM about that. Anyway, the problem

  • New document: How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems

    Have you ever had problems with PDF attachments sent from Adobe Reader for iOS using Share > E-mail Document?
    You may find this document useful to avoid the problems.
    How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems
    Please let us know if you have encountered different types of problems with PDF attachments.  We can look for solutions or workarounds for you.

    Unfortunately, we (Adobe Reader mobile team) do not know if/when Apple will fix the attachment problems (software defects) in Apple Mail.
    In particular, the attachment problem with Microsoft Outlook (See Problem #2 in How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems) appears to be a long-standing defect that has been known for years.  However, Apple has not provided any fix for Apple Mail yet.
    Adobe Reader for iOS merely launches Apple Mail (the default mail app on iOS) to send a PDF document as an attachment.  Adobe Reader has no control over whether or not to embed a preview image of an attachment in the body of an email message, which is known to cause the problem with Microsoft Outlook (on the receiving side).  The same problem happens when you send a single-page PDF document as an attachment along with an email signature from Apple iBooks on iOS.
    For now, all iPad/iPhone users can do is to avoid the problems by using the workarounds that are described in How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
    When new and different problems with PDF attachments are reported by Adobe Reader for iOS users, we will update the document above.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Headings follow relevant chapter names? Index link to pdf search engine?

    I´m new to Pages 09 and haven´t found how to have the page heading contain only the relevant chapter name. I´ve got 8 chapters and want the relevant name at the top of each page, as one usually finds. How is it done?
    Can one automatically link the alphabetical word index to the internal pdf search engine when exported as pdf file or does one have to do this by hand?
    Thanks for any help in these matters
    Neil

    Cut your document in sections.
    Insert your chapters in different sections.
    Doing that you will be able to use the chapter name in the corresponding header.
    In page 58 of the User Guide (English version) we may read:
    *Changing Headers and Footers in a Section*
    You can change headers and footers to be unique to a section. You can also change headers and footers within a section.
    To change headers and footers:
    1 Place the insertion point in the section.
    2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Layout button, and then click Section.
    3 Deselect “Use previous headers and footers.”
    4 Type the new header or footer in the header or footer area of your document.

  • Low level Hex disk edit & search util needed- suggestions please?

    low level Hex disk edit & search util needed- suggestions please?
    Maybe It's just late & I've had a bad day.... but I haven't needed a low level Hex disk edit & search utility suitable for an Intel 10.4.x Mac until now and can't seem to locate one.
    There should be plenty of free/shareware options (because they're handy and not particularly hard to write ... and every tech head needs one some time)...
    Any suggestions please?
    [I haven't bothered with the commercial stuff - like tech tool/Norton/*insert name here* Recover/repair, Something Genius etc. etc. because they are all without exception either unnecessary (just pretty shells for the underlying UNIX/X utils) useless AND greedy $-gougers, just useless, or just money gougers so I couldn't even say whether any still have a 'feature' like the old Norton Disk editor app had - but a quick look about suggest not...]
    grumble
    Any specific suggestions/links, please?
    TIA

    they are all without exception either unnecessary (just pretty shells for the underlying UNIX/X utils) useless AND greedy $-gougers, just
    useless, or just money gougers
    Such a high-esteem for fellow human beings - and
    programmers...
    You know, there are some good decent nice people
    behind those names?
    You'd be amazed at how much testing goes into a product.
    [SNIP]
    g'day Hatter...
    Yes, I know there are some good decent nice people behind those names..fellow human beings - and fellow programmers (so yes, I do know...) In previous incarnations I have 'thunk up' and developed, Marketed & supported considerably more complex Apps & systems myself - I even know some of the people you mention personally - and they are usually decent Blokes/women but normally, it isn't the programmers who make the decisions on pricing/features/support/performance/upgrade costs & cycles etc...
    My only error was, I agree, the phrase 'without exception' - but (mainly) only because I haven't bought/tested & used all of them very very recently. So I offer my apologies to those to whom my remarks should not apply (long, late night/early morning frustration...)
    However, I also offer a few simple pertinent examples:
    One 'top name' Utility company had a 'save your Mac HD' product on the market for some time that was almost guaranteed to TRASH it irretrievably but did NOT say so - nor did they help or compensate those they harmed.
    Several are selling what amount to simple, pretty, GUI shells for 'free' or OS-included command line tools - no more, no less but do NOT say so and are asking good money for the 'software'.
    Many are asking ridiculous prices for "regular upgrades" so you can keep their tool current with your Mac OS - one wants US$100/year for it, another, $15 per u/g, others, US$25 or $40 per u/g; one asks 'only' $10 - and these 'upgrades' are happening 3,4,5,6 times per year and are necessary for the Marketing company to keep their product Saleable to new purchasers and new Macs (as well as for important Bug Fixes - and only co-incidentally to keep it performing with your current Mac and OS - which is what you paid them for in the first place).
    I won't pay for a product 3, 6 or 9 times and I won't advise my clients to: It's not unreasonable for a person to expect a 'sensible lifetime/currency' of Product X for Computer Y - say 3 years (e.g. AppleCare). I wouldn't object to paying for an "upgrade" at that point - IF it's worth the money.
    Software is Waaay too expensive in many cases and is simply inviting 'piracy' - from people who have already PAID for the product: sadly, they are killing their own Gooses.
    Seriously, one product costs ca. US$100 to Buy in the first place
    To keep it actually working for you costs about the same again Per Year - a 3 year 'sensible lifetime' or 'currency' cost of US$300 or $400! [That'll buy a lot of 'bare drives' to put in a handy Firewire case for automatic backups in Background, differential backups etc. and other simple practices which render this product type largely unnecessary ].
    For what? A relatively simple set of utilities which would actually cost the company involved less than $5 total each - over 3 years - to make available to existing ( or 'current') owners. [Applecare 'complete' Hardware and Software warranty & support on a US$2000 iMac - which includes Tech Tools Pro Deluxe or somesuch costs about US$165 for 3 years. Total.]
    Having designed, developed, Marketed, supported & maintained more complex Applications to/for a sizeable user-base (in US terms) over multiple complete Series of Product 'life-cycles' - regular Updates and all, I think I know where the pirates are.
    These practices have been rampant in the MSWindows™ market for a longtime. It's a real shame to see it in the Mac world.
    I have all the esteem in the world for those fellow human beings who deserve such - and programmers who are 'good decent nice people'.
    I have none to spare for monopolists, 'exploitationists' or any of those who take unfair/unreasonable advantage of their fellow human beings - AND of programmers who are 'good decent nice people' (like, say, ME... .
    In any event, as I said: they are "killing their Gooses": I know of at least 6 software companies which went this route a while back. All are dead or dying.
    Thank you for your help - and the opportunity to apologise for 'mis-speaking'.
    all the best,

  • Colorsync utility problems

    I'm trying to get my printing straightened out on a 10.4.11 system that has been updated from 10.3.9.
    Printing was perfect on 10.3.9, but is not good from the Adobe apps on 10.4.11. I put off upgrading to 10.4 as long as I could, because I knew so many folks had so many issues... I finally had to upgrade, and now I am hit.
    My printer is an epson R2400. Prints are as expected from a MacBook Pro that has never been upgraded from one system to the next, and also from a test installation of 10.4.11 on a brand new hard drive. It is only the upgraded (via archive and install) system that I can't get straightened out.
    Chromix is making some custom profiles for me, and they had me go into colorsync utility to assign Generic RGB as the default profile for the printer. Problem is, the R2400 is listed 3 separate times in Colorsync utility, although it is only listed once in Printer SetUp utility and in System preferences under printing and fax.
    Resetting the printing system doesn't clear this up, nor does uninstalling the driver and reinstalling.
    I don't know for certain that this is the cause of my color management issues, but it certainly does not seem desirable. The systems on the machines that print correctly do not have duplicate instances of the printer listed in colorsync utility.
    I am not able to set a default printer in Colorsync utility, presumably due to this problem. This is the only printer installed, and it is listed as default the other 2 places.
    An archive and install did not fix the issue.
    Any idea on how to clear this up short of totally starting over with a fresh installation, from scratch? the printers are listed with unique ID's in Colorsync utility, but I don't know how to run anything down from there.

    I am not printing with colorsync color management, rather I am using colorsync *utilty* to correct a misapplied color profile in the driver.
    This is documented a few places on the web, and it is Chromix's answer to incorrect prints from ALL the Adobe applications... in my case, PS 7, and ALL CS2 and CS3 suite applications. Very specifically, the print error happens with Photoshop 7 and CS2 and CS3, and Illustrator CS2 and CS3, and InDesign CS2 and CS3. The solutions it to be certain that in your print stream, when you check the details of how the print is being sent, that colorsync is set to standard conversion, generic RGB profile, no quartz filter. The way you typically mange this, if the wrong RGB profile is showing, is by resetting it in ColorSync utility.
    I am printing a a profiling target, so I am not setting up a conversion from source space to print space. I am sending with color management off.
    The reason I didn't mention my workflow settings is that is not the question. The question is how to get rid of the spare printer instances in colorsync utility, becasue i think they are hosing my otherwise correct color settings.
    My target print looks like it is being color managed incorrectly, even though all color management is disabled in the Photoshop print dialog and in the print driver. The colors are the correct hue, but they are much too dark.
    Chromix has a little application you can print the targets from. Photoshop (all versions) on the system with the colorSync utility problem prints the target too dark compared to the Chromix utility, or to Photoshop on two other systems I have with no colorSync utility duplication of printers.
    Again, I am not looking for help with my printing workflow, because that is not the question or problem. My prints are correct on other systems with the same version of software and the same print settings, as long as I can make the needed correction in Colorsync utility first.
    the question is how to reset colorsync utility, or otherwise troubleshoot the erroneous feedback it is giving me..

  • PDF Search Feature Question

    I'm trying to set up a type of PDF search that will allow me to scan an entire document for a list of pre-determined keywords and phrases (approximately 50 - 100)  and then give me a report on the results. I'm familair with the pdf search that is included in the Acrobat software but I'm not sure if it has the capabilities I'm looking for? Does Acrobat have another feature I could use or do you know another software that can accomplish this?
    Thanks

    May be possible with Acrobat Javascript.
