Put scanned text on "fresh" white page?

Hi!
First of all, nice to be here and now for my first post:
In ABBY Finereader 11 that I tried before going for Adobe Acrobat X Pro (10) it had a feature that after it had scanned the document it automatically took the text and put it on nice "clean" white pages wheras the original had black or gray areas and/or underlines.
Is there a similar feature in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and if so where do I find it?
Thank you in advance - Karl

I finally figured it out... you have to go from "edit content" to "edit layout"... which seems counterintuitive... like it should be the other way around cause I wanted to edit the content after all... oh well. hope this helps someone else.

MF8280CW scan result is a white page

Hey everybody, hey Canon !
I'm having a serious trouble scanning with my brand new Canon i-SENSYS MF8280CW and I was wondering if someone else is experiencing or has experienced any similar issue : all scanned documents are white, no content shows on the scanned file, whatever the employed scanning method is (scan through dedicated software, scan to PC or scan directly to an USB stick).
On one hand, scanning through Mac OS Preview or through MF Toolbox gives white pages. Same thing happens if you ask the printer to send the document directly to your hard-drive (scan to PC).
On the other hand, the printer doesn't recognize any USB sticks, I tried all USB sticks and external hard-drives I own, some formatted in NTF, other for Mac OS. No result. They all work otherwise.
Even scanning through a USB cable results in a white page
I spoke 3 times with the hotline and all they say is that I need to install the most up-to-date drivers. But I do have the most up to date drivers and everything works just fine except for the scanner : http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/imageclass_series/color_imagec...
My configuration : Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) and Mac OS 10.9.5 (Macericks) : I actually have both and unfortunately the results are strictly the same
Is there any diagnostic tool to run on the printer ? Is it possible it's a hardware issue ?
Thanks in advance for your help !!

I confirm, it wasn't a driver problem!
After many many calls to the hotline over two weeks (and several tweets), Canon finally accepted to send a guy to check the printer and try to repare it. He wasn't able to figure out what was wrong, and he ordered a replacement mothernoard. I waited for a month or so without any news, called several times in the meanwhile, and finally they told me then tought the problem was resolved... ?!!
Finally, the repare guy came and try to inslall the motherboard, but it wasn't the right model for my printer ... Finally, after some more calls and tweeting, they finally agreed to send a new printer that now works just fine. The whole thing took 2 months...
Of course, I'm very disappointed... I could understand that occassioally, due to a human error, a customer could fond himself in my situation, but Canon didn't even try to apologize. For the last 20 years, I've bought several printers and digital cameras, the next time I might consider trying something else.
Hope your problem will be solved soon !

Having trouble with my PHP code. Appers to get stuck on a white page.

HI all,
I have just began having trouble with my PHP code. Was working before and haven't made any changes to the code since last time it worked.
What happens is after the form is submitted it goes to a white page (no text just all white page) and in the address bar it has the path for my php page. what supposed to happen is either it goes to a success page or a error page.
I've had a problem where the info entered is correct but was directed to the error page. i managed to fix that issue but i am puzzled what is happening to my php page now.
Mind you that i didn't write this code i just took over the responsiblities of this website and i am hopping that its a quick fix.
I appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you.
CODE:
<?php
   $to = '[email protected]';
      $from = '[email protected]';
        //Make sure we have some info posted from the form...
        if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)){
            //Clear the body of the message to be sent
            $body = '';
            //go through all POSTed variables sent
            while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)){
    if($key <> "Submit" && $key <> "submit") {
     $body .= $key . ' = ' . $value . "\r\n";
            //Now building mail headers.....
            $headers = "From: ".$from."\r\n";
            //Mail message
            $success = mail($to, "Email Club" . date("m/d/Y"), $body, $headers);
   // CURL stuff.....
   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4); //times out after 4s
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
             if ($success){
    //readfile('http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/thankyou.html');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/thankyou.html");
    header("Location:http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/thankyou.html");
            else{
             // readfile('http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/error.html');
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/error.html");
     header("Location:http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/error.html");
   // Output
   //$result=curl_exec ($ch);
   //curl_close ($ch);
   //echo $result'";
?>

Insert the install disk and boot from it. Use disk utitlity to repair your drive and check for errors (report any errors back here) then reinstall the os. This should not erase your data.

How can detect and remove scanned white pages in an OCRd pdf file?

How can detect and remove scanned white pages in an OCRd pdf file?

Acrobat does not support an automated way of doing this directly. You can
remove completely blank pages (pages that don't have any "marking
objects"), but a scanned page does contain an image, so Acrobat won't help
you here. There are a number of 3rd party applications and plug-ins
available. Try a Google search for
remove blank pages from scanned
pdf<http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=removeblankpagesfromscanned+pdf&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>
This will bring up a few different solutions.
Another way is to use JavaScript to find text. You say that these documents
are OCRed, so if you have a blank page, it should not have any text on it.
With some JavaScript, you can identify pages that don't contain text. This
may however fail if you have a page that contains just e.g. a photographic
image. There won't be any text, but the page is certainly not blank.

How do i make a tab active and make it stay that way always. If i put a website in my home page in order for the tabs to open automatically in that same homepage , this setting is not working, every time I open a tab , a white window appears .

By default Firefox opens a blank page for a new Tab, there is no setting to change that action without installing an add-on.

Exporting to pdf from Pages 9 turns all text color to white

I made a 34 page document for someone, exported to pdf and sent it to him. He called me asking why all the text came out white. The only reason you could see the text is because I had a tinted background on every page. Tried several times and the black comes out white in the pdf document. Any one had that problem before?

I'm using Acrobat pro 9.
I have been using Pages and exporting to pdf for more than a year now and never had this problem. The file I'm working with is a word document sent to me by my customer that I copied and pasted into Pages. I found a way around it by doing the following: I clicked print. In the print window, there is a scroll down button that gives the option of saving to pdf or to postcript. Saving to pdf gave me the same problem, so I saced to postscript. I opened the postcript file withpreview and from there exported to pdf to get it to work finally.
This is what the file should look like
This is what I get when I export from the file menu

InD4 - Won't let me put text up to the page edge - need to apply a header! Help!

I am trying to put a text box at the top of my document to use as a header - something I've done hundreds of times before. But, this time, when I add a text box, and add text, it's like there's an invisible object there with a text wrap applied, and it won't let me put my text to the top of the page.
For info: the text box options are set to align text at the top, and to ignore text wrap on any other objects. I've tried selecting all to see if there was something there that i was missing and needed to delete - no luck. Even tried shutting down InDesign, reopening, and starting a new document - it does the same thing on the new document.
It's a space about an inch wide, that extends from one side of the page to the other - but just on the top - I can place text all the way to the edge of the page on the sides and bottom, no problem. HELP!!!!

My guess is that you have aligned your text to document grid... and your grid starst a little bit below the top of your page.... If that´s the case, you have two options to solve your problem:
1) adjust your grid´s starting point from Preferences > Grids
2) Change your paragraph style setting Align text to Grid to None, you find it at Indents and Spacing tab (or alternatively you can change it locally from control panel as well)

Performing OCR text recognition in all pages of a PDF document which has blank pages

The PDF pages in the file are scanned as an image, but there are blank pages also. So, page 1, 2 have images of scanned text, page 3 is blank, pages 4, 5, have images of scanned text, page 6 is blank and so on.The series of blank pages is 3, 6, 9....
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9 on Windows XP. I choose the Document option in menu, OCR Text recognition->Recognize text using OCR->All pages. But, the OCR stops after page 2.
Then, I go to page 4 and find that it is still an image(and I cannot copy the text from it). So, then I have to choose the Document option in menu, OCR Text recognition->Recognize text using OCR->All pages. But, the OCR stops after page 6.
The document has some 200 pages and I don't want to manually do the choose the Document option in menu, OCR Text recognition->Recognize text using OCR->All pages for all pages which have text.
I also tried choose the Document option in menu, OCR Text recognition->Recognize text using OCR->Page 1 to page 200, but that too does not work.
I can manually go to each blank page, delete it, then do the OCR but that would be tedious.
1. Am I missing something in doing the OCR of all pages?
2. Can I set up a batch process to do the delete of blank page series or can I set up a batch process which does OCR of all pages(and does not stop at a blank page) as it is doing now?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hm, you could convert every pdf-page to a image file (jpeg, etc.):
-install the package imagemagick
-use the command convert
convert -trim -density 150 your.pdf your.jpg
This will generate a jpg-file for every pdf-page; "-trim" removes the white margins, density specifies the resolution of the page (you could also try "-resize" instead of "-density") and 150 specifies amount of dots per inch.
This does not generate a new pdf-file, but maybe there is a way to convert the images back into a single pdf?

How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save. I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was. I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink." That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box. But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink.
If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink. It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved. Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html. If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file. This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
Many thanks in advance.

Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met. Now back to this work:
Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not). I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object. I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared. But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again. I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself. The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though. I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink.
Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one). Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner.
I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond." I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thank you.

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How to put a text in upper left hand corner for all the application?

I want to put a text in upper left hand corner for all the pages on application?
I don't want to put one page by another.
Thank you.

If you put it in a region on page zero, it will be inherited by all pages of the application.. Literally in the upper left corner? Even the login page? You could also modify the template page that your using from your theme, so that all pages would have this attribute, whichever you are more comfortable with..
Thank you,

HP LaserJet 3330 shows horizontal lines exactly every 1.5" when printing a completely white page

HP LaserJet 3330 shows seven or eight about 3.5" long cloudy horizontal lines spaced exactly every 1.5" even when printing a completely white page. This occurs also when copying and faxing.
There are also 2 very thin vertical lines running down the whole page approx. in the middle. They are exactly 1" apart.
However, a scan of a white page viewed on my computer (not printed) is completely clean.
Windows 7. No changes or upgrades.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Propbably the toner cartridge if they are 1.48" apart it could be the developing cylinder or the charging roller that are both in the toner cartridge. So a good guess if you replace the toner cartridge, the problem will go away. The vertical lines could also be part of this issue.

My mac is coming up with a white page with a picture of a file in the middle with a ? mark in and keeps flashing nothing will work ?

Hi
My daughter has a apple mac laptop. It is coming up with a white page with a file picture with a ? mark in the middle of it. It keeps flashing. Nothing will work now and we car'nt seem to work it out. Does anyone have any answers ?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Editable text box on each page, but generated from Master Page?

I want to create a blank text box that lives on the Master Page so that it shows up on each page in the document, but I then would enter custom text into the field on each page ( or just leave it blank).
I know, I know, I can do simply copy a text box from one page, and paste in place on all subsequent pages... or set it up once on a page, then just keep duplicating that page... or some other work around. But simple as those work arounds are, I'd just like a blank text box show up automatically on each page as a master page item, then I can enter text as a see fit and not have to do any duplicating tricks. I've looked up a few tutorials, but none solve for my need.
So I guess the real question is, does InDesign allow the content of a master page text field to be individually edited on the pages of the document itself?

It's bet to NEVER use the override master page items command since it overrides ALL master items. That's like using a wrecking ball as a flyswatter. And you don't need to put random text in the frame either (especially since you said you don't want to use it on some pages, though it might be best for those if you create another master without the frame). To override any master object hold Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) + Shift and click on it with the selection tool.
