Recognizing Text in Adobe XI

I guess Adobe doesn't want us to be able to contact them for questions.  They say phone and chat are options but those keep bringing me back here to the forum.
Ok, fine.
I have Adobe XI.  I have scanned documents that I want to make searchable.  I have attempted, on no less than five separate documents, the recognize text feature in the tools menu.  A box comes up that asks "Use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert any scanned text to editable text."  I select English U.S. and click ok.  The box disappears.  The document remains unchanged.
Any help would be appreciated.  In the mean time, I have been converting the files to Word so they are searchable.  The problem there is that the conversion is not always clean.  Letters are missing from words, the spacing is weird, etc.  So I end up searching for the word or sentence I'm looking for, finding it in the word document, then going back to the pdf to actually read and work with the document.  Then I go back to the word version to cut and paste but have to compare it to the pdf file to fix the missing letters, etc.

I have fixed my problem. 
I was already a paid subscriber for Adobe Acrobat in order to export/convert documents.  I changed my subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro, which was $3 less than just the Acrobat subscription.  Now I have a lot more menu options and it recognizes the text.
Thank you for your help.

  • Highlight text in adobe reader for android

    Dear Adobe Reader Team,
    I've had a problem with my adobe reader for android version 11.5.0
    It's not highlighting any text or doesn't even select it when I scroll over.
    Kindly help me with this Problem.
    Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like you have a scanned PDF document.  Because a scanned PDF document contains images of text (not real text), you will not be able to select text or highlight it.  You can still add Freehand drawing and/or sticky notes to a scanned PDF document.
    To recognize text in a scanned PDF document, you need to run special Text Recognition software.  Adobe Acrobat (a paid product) offers the capability, where as free Adobe Reader products do not.

  • Acrobat X freezes on OCR during "recognizing text" step

    Acrobat X standard freezes every time I try to OCR a document - it starts through the process but when it gets to the "recognizing text" stage it just freezes - wondows says program not responding.

    We did test along with the end user that reported the issue, and we both saw the same performance drop with prior scanned documents and new ones. Its also the same for whether the PDFs are saved locally to the TS or a share folder on different server.
    Whats really frustrating is that one Adobe phone tech agreed with me that OCR was running too slow when I had them remote into the server. That tech escalated the issue to "senior support" which never followed up with us. After days of waiting I called back and was told it was working "normally" and that the PDFs themselves were the issue. But again with the same files completing OCR 30% faster on a different server makes me want to call "bluff" on Adobe support. I'm just not sure of another way to isolate the issue.

  • Built-in PDF viewer could better render low quality PDF using the recognized text

    I've been a little frustrated with this. When I view a low quality PDF on a university website, zooming in/out on firefox (v34.0 and v35.0.1 on linux is what I've tried) proves that the quality could be drastically improved. The original fonts looks like the pdf-lowqual.png file below: (unable to upload images on here)
    http://i59.tinypic.com/169kkcw.png
    While zooming in or out, the font displays as normal "hypertext" or whathave you before going back to looking ugly again, as seen here:
    http://i61.tinypic.com/2gvptw0.png
    Is there a way to permanently display the recognized text with local or internet fonts? I assume the text is recognized as that is what allows one to select text.

    [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]] or [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]] are the current offerings for viewing pdfs in Firefox.
    However, there are alternatives like embedding fonts into the pdf. I do also know that there are web safe fonts with similar function: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_typography#Web-safe_fonts]

  • I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.
    Be well...

  • How to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    how to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    It will depend on the image. If it was one that was saved as a psd file and has layers (window>layers) {Look in the layers panel and see if you see a layer with a thumbnail that looks like a large T} In this instance, you can double click on that thumbnail to highlight the text then type in its replacement.
    If the image is a jpg which does not support layers, transparency or live text, then that would mean that you need to use the selection tools to select that text and fill it with the same color as the background. You can then use the text tool to type in the text you want.
    Remember to save a copy as a psd file so you can edit the text at a later date.

    I have created an text module of type include text in Adobe form context. the text which has to be bold is not being displayed as bold and the line space after first paragraph is being skipped out and the 2nd paragraph is being displayed as the continuation of the first. The out put looks as below

    I tried Styles using SE72 on the SO10 text. And I cannot assign smartform styles on SO10 text in Adobe forms.
    Greatly appreciate your suggestions and solutions.

  • Standard Text IN ADOBE Forms

    Hi,
    Can you tell me how to use standard text in ADOBE forms,
    and how to fetch A Customs Tariff Number or an HTS (Harmonized Tariff System)
    from other system.

    Hi Oliver,
    I believe you standard text is a table type of TDLINES.
    On the form you would display it with a table of 1 column 1 row with repeat row ticked.
    Have the like below code on the fomr ready event of your table.
    for(var i =0; i<this.Row1.nodes.length;i++)
         if(i == 1){
         this.Row1.Cell1.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
         this.Row1.xx.font.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
    Note: in my example I had a table with one row names Row1 and 2 fields cell1 type textbox,  & xx as text / label.
    If its like you have it in a text box with multiple entries, we need to spli the value such that 1st row is displayed in a text box whose parameters are by defeult set to font red, and rest of them to this text area.
    If your procedure is table the code sud work, else let me know how you get data and how do you display it on the screen.
    Cheers,

  • Using formats of SO10 text in Adobe forms

    Hello guys,
    I got a question concerning the interaction of SO10 texts with adobe form text fields.
    I know there are some threads about it here, and I think I understand the default SAP behavior, but can you please confirm if I am right? Then I got a special question about one case.
    So is it right that there is only the difference between formatting the textfield itself in adobe form layout and adding a style to the text field in form context?
    This means:
    (1) Whenever in my text field in form context no style is added, the adobe form will take the formatting like it is done in the adobe form layout? This would mean that every format which is entered in the SO10 text is insignificant for the adobe form?
    (2) Whenever in my text field a style is added, SAP will use SO10 text formats? This means, SAP searches for the smartforms style which is entered in the textfield and uses the formats from SO10 text like they were defined in the smartforms style?
    Is this correct so far?
    Now the special questions:
    (1) What happens if a style is added, but the style does not exist as smartforms style. Which font etc. will be used then?
    (2) What happens if a style is added, but the format of SO10 text does not exist in the smartform style?
    In both cases it looks like SAP takes some "default" style, but where does it come from?
    Thanks a lot!
    Regards
    Michael

  • Static text in Adobe forms

    Hello Experts,
    I have requirement to create a adobe form which have 90% of static text .I want to know to display those text should i go with standard text(SO10) ot should i directly display it in text-field on the form layout.Or there is any other way to display.
    Which is best? Kindly suggest.
    Thank you,
    Shweta

    Hi Shweta,
    I started working on adobe in late 2010. I prefer and would personally go for SO10 instead of adding  text in text-field. Adding texts under one TextName would give a clear picture for further enhancements instead of adding the texts one by one in text fields.
    We do have a Wiki on SCN about adding static texts to adobe forms using SO10.  Here it goes:
