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?
TIA,

"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.

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!!

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.

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.

I can't send a text using imessage from my iphone to an ipad

I can't send or receive a text using imessage from my iphone to an ipad

The Ipdas are using IOS 6 and can text to other iphones by phone number or apple id. I have tried hard resets and did a full restore and still no success. I am using IOS 6.0.1 and have had the phone checked at our local Apple dealer and I took it to the local ATT store to be sure my phone plan was not an issue.

Recognise text using ocr function disappeared

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

A way to undo Formatted Text & Graphics OCR from Acrobat 7?

Over the course of a few months, my company received a large number of PDF files for a project for which the internal policy was that every file should be text searchable. Unfortunately, we did not save the native files in any sort of convenient way, having at that time not realized that failing to do so was a very bad idea. We ran OCR on every one of the files that we received, which total approximately 4,000. At the time that we received the majority of these files, my company was still using Acrobat 7; we've since upgraded to version 8.
Recently we discovered that there were discrepancies between our electronic copies and the hard copy printouts from which our electronic copies had been generated: in the electronic copies, uppercase F had changed to P, S had changed to 8, etc. We eventually worked out that it must have been that at some point a computer was mistakenly set to run OCR using the Formatted Text & Graphics setting, as opposed to either Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact). This was absolutely not want we wanted, as for our purposes using a type of OCR that causes the original images to change essentially renders the files useless. My questions, then, are the following:
1) As I asked in the title, is there any way of undoing Formatted Text & Graphics OCR that was performed in Acrobat 7?
2) Is there a way of identifying files that have had Formatted Tex & Graphics OCR performed on them (something stored in the metadata)?
Rebuilding these files from scratch is going to require a gargantuan effort, so any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Bernd's been across the mountain and seen the bear; so, you can bank on what he posted.
But, just because, I'll second his "no".
Formatted Text and Graphics (Acrobat 7, 8) and ClearScan (Acrobat 9, X) effectively replace the image of textual characters.
If a character is not recognized as 'something' a bit map is of the thing is left behind.
Now, while Acrobat or other OCR engines (Abbey FineReader, AdLib, Adobe Capture, etc.) are really rather impressive no OCR engine has 100% accuracy 100% of the time. Other variables come into play (scan lamp age/brightness, platen cleanliness, scanner mechanicals cleanliness, calibration of scanner, hard copy 'quality' (characters' darkness density, contrast between characters and background, presence of lack thereof of boxed in text, text in or adjacent to line arcs/circles, etc.).
All of that is for semantic content that is "textual". Semantic content that is not textual (but, coincidently may contain text) provides little to no useful OCR output (e.g., graphs, drawings, etc.). Validate this by performing OCR on such a PDF then Export to a plain text file. Print this file out and compare that to the source paper or the scanned image.
There is no metadata info that identifies the OCR mode used.
Perhaps something buried in the bowls of PDF page description content; if so, not intrinsically easy to obtain.
My suggestion (fwiw) - move forward with re-scan.
A server product would help to move it along but a high speed scanner hooked to a local machine (with ample resources) and Acrobat Pro 8 or 9 get it done. With Acrobat 8 or 9 use Search Image (Exact). In Preferences check the category Create PDF or TIFF to assure it is what you desire. Check Acrobat's scan presets to assure you have what you want vis-a-vis Compression and Filtering. Do avoid "Automatic".
Be well...

What exactly do you need to extract?
We tried extracting icons from Windows DLLs.
You can see how we did it in WinPack for JNIWrapper (http://www.jniwrapper.com)

When I send a text using iMessage from my mini iPad, it selects a photo that I deleted from my MacBookPro (in Users

When sending iMessages using iPad mini an old photo that I've deleted from my MacBookPro in 'System Preferences/User&Groups' pops up with each iMessage I send. Genius Bar said iMessage was pulling this from iCloud and they recommended I change the photo inmy iCloud account, which I did. This did not help. Where could iMessage be gathering an old photo that's been deleted? Has anyone experienced this? and if so, is there a solution/fix?

I don't follow where this picture is appearing. You have to go to some trouble to add a picture to an iMessage. Might it be popping up from a contact name you are using that happens to have a picture associated with it in your contacts list?

I have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and would like it to recognize text. Does anyone know how to do this?

Our administrator upgraded my computer and Adobe Acrobat now looks different. Prior to that, I used the tool tab that was in the upper right hand corner for text recognition. This new version does not have those tabs and I do not see the text option anywhere. I'm not sure what version I had before but now it is Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Can anyone help with this?

Thank you for the reply, I have figured this out:
If you’re unable to select text, the text may be part of an image. In Acrobat, to export image text to text that can be selected, choose Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR

Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac. Pages only recognizes text. What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac. Pages seems to only recognize text. What app is recommended for pdf documents?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
They will show up in the iBooks application
(If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
One is Books, the other is Collections.
Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
Tap PDFs and you're there.

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.

Hi,
A few things to remember. They must be 32-bit ComVisible or COM Interop registered assemblies.
You need to use the ProgId to connect to; have you checked if they were visible in the browser?
As Jacob mentions,
These have been discussed before by Bruce, particularly in the PowerBuilder Deveopment Center and in other places.
