Recognise text using ocr function disappeared

When importing pdf files in acrobat 9 that were configured as images it used to automatically ask me if i wanted to recognise the text using ocr. Now it doesnt come up anymore does anyone know how to get it back?

I need a hint: what app are you referring to?

Recognize Text Using OCR from DLL

Hi:
We are a service company,working on a project we need to do OCR on PDF files: convert a PDF to a searchable PDF.
The customer has licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended.
The problem we have to solve it: from a JSP page, run an applet and to have access to Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended for use the funcionality "Recognize Text Using OCR" on a PDF file.
Ideally, we would be able to access a DLL and invoke this functionality, it is possible?
If not, what would be the way to access this functionality: IAC? Plug-In?
Would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you very much.

> LiveCycle ES includes lots of PDF functionality that you can use from various APIs.
I tended to associate the term "LiveCycle" with the newfangled (XML-based) way to handle forms, but it has become clear that LiveCycle is much more than a new Forms paradigm.
It sounds like the LiveCycle SDK/Library can be used as a (full?) replacement for the original APDFL.
Is there a table somewhere with the differences between those two SDKs?

"Recognize Text Using OCR" Option Grayed Out in Acrobat 9 Pro (9.5.1)

Running Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I'm working with electronically filed court documents. I regularly use the OCR tool (Document -> OCR Text Recognition -> Recognize Text Using OCR...) on these court documents.
Problem is, every once in awhile, I'll run into a document where the "Recognize Text Using OCR" option is inexplicably grayed out. I have no idea what is causing this. I have checked the Document Properties and confirmed there are no security restrictions for the document. It happens inconsistently, in that OCR will work with a document filed by an attorney in one case, but it won't work in the same kind of document filed by the same attorney in a different case.
Any help getting OCR to work on these few rogue documents is appreciated!

Form created with LiveCycle Designer are XML forms in a PDF wrapper and many of the usual PDF properties are not available. This is like embedded rich media in a PDF. If you want to research this, Adobe and ISO have the PDF Reference manual available as a free download.

Recogize text using OCR not available

Hi,
I have Acrobat Pro 8. I have several scanned fileds that I'm trying ot OCR. The option under Documents (recognize text using OCR) is not listed. Only Find the first OCR suspect and Find all.
Any ideas?
Please advise. This is a priority project and OCR would save a lot of time and money.
thx
Linda

I was having the same issue with Acrobat 9. The only way we could get it working was to reinstall to version 9.4. Something with the update to 9.5 or 9.51 removed that option, which is a very important option. As 9.5 had an important security patch, I hope this is fixed soon.

How do I scan to text using OCR on the Envy 5660?

Hello,
Prior to ordering an HP Envy 5660 printer, I confirmed that OCR text recognition is expressly included in the Printer Specifications for the HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640, and Officejet 5740 and 8040 e-All-in-One Printer Series document here.
As you can see, under Scanning Specifications, which apply to all models listed in the above document’s title, it says: "Scan to text: Integrated OCR software automatically converts scanned text to editable text."
I have now received and set up the HP Envy 5660 printer that I ordered. It is connected via USB to a MacBook Pro running Mavericks (OS X 10.9.5). After clicking the Download HP Software link on the accompanying CD, I was automatically connected to HP's Product Setup area, from where I obtained the latest driver package for my operating system, "HP-ENVY-5660-series_v12.39.0.dmg." Using the "Custom Install" option, I installed “Essential Software,” “HP Scan,” and “Product Help."
The print and scan functions on my HP Envy 5660 are working, but regardless of whether I scan a page of text via the printer’s control panel, or the installed “HP Scan” application, or the installed “Image Capture” application, I can find no evidence of integrated OCR software, and no option to convert scanned text to editable text.
Please tell me where to locate the specified OCR software, and how to enable its operation on the Envy 5660.
Thank you.

Greetings, @TeaMasterLing , welcome to the community!
I read through your post about how you are attempting to use OCR software that was to be included with your printer software installation. I was unable to recreate this situation here on my lab computer to see what you are seeing on your end.
For that reason, I cannot provide you with a possible solution and would suggest calling in to phone support, as they can log on to your computer if need be to see how the issue could be resolved to have the OCR software working for you.
Here is HP's contact info:
If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada: click here.
I hope you soon have a solution!
Have a great day

How can users who have Acrobat Reader only save scanned pdf files so that the text on them is searchable using ctrl-F? I just use the recognize text with ocr feature in the full version of Acrobat and this seem to do the trick. Reader doesn't work!

Our users have scanned pdf files they want to be able to search using ctrl-f. I got them to be searchable by doing a recognize text using ocr with Acrobat Professional vesion 8. They want to know if they can make the files searchable with Acrobat Reader only or if they need the full Acrobat Professional software to make the files searchable.
Thanks for the help!!
Ken K. - 2191

To clarify a bit they need to have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Reader has not been associated with the Acrobat name for 3 or more versions. The process you are asking about is a creation process - the purpose of Acrobat - and NOT a reading feature.

Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional - OCR Function

I have scanned documents that were saved in Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional. I'm trying to do text comparisons. I try to convert them to searchable text using OCR but it's telling me that it's below the minimum of 144 dpi. Any suggestions as to how I can get these scanned documents to compare for textual differences? I no longer have access to the original (prior to conversion to pdf files) documents. I have at least 10 documents, each over 25 pages that need to be compared for text differences. Thanks!

Save the pages in Acrobat to the TIFF format, using a resolution of 300 dpi
and the color set to monochrome. Then use the "Create PDF from multiple
files" feature to put the TIFF images back into a single PDF to be OCR'd.

Adobe OCR function in Xen Desktop

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

Can I use OCR for just a single image in a text document?

Hi All
I have a 37page pdf document that is mostly recognised text. i think this document was created in MS word then converted to PDF. I did not make this document.
There are images inserted on some pages that are scans from another document. The document has footnotes, page numbers, title, text paragraphs on the pages with the images i want to ocr. I have already used the highlight an sticky note functions for some of the recognised text and don't want them lost.
I have tried using OCR for the whole document but it doesn't work (renderable error).
Can I use the OCR function just on a selected image within a document that has renderable text for the most part?
thanks.

Can text be displayed in a formula column using mathematical functions?

I am working with Financial Reports version 11.1.1.3 and I'm trying to accomplish the following scenario:
Column D is a data column
Column E is a text column containing the value "TEXT"
Column F is a formula column with the following formula: IfThen([D]=0,[E],[D])
What I want to see happen is if the value in column D is 0 then I want the value "TEXT" to appear in column F, otherwise; I want to show the data value that is in column D. Is it possible to display text in a formula column and if so, what is the syntax for that? Or does anyone have another way to accomplish this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Short answer: No.
For your particular issue, I would suggest putting your TEXT value in the #zero and #missing overrides in Report Studio.
In general, Hyeprion Reporting does not do any real text validations or functions like you could use in Excel.
