Scan document to PDF Preview

I have scanned some pages in as PDF's. How do I get it so I can "mark them up" you know.....highlight words or underline. I have done it on PDF's that people have emailed me. But I cannot seem to do it on ones that I scan in. Any thoughts???

Some programs will OCR the scanned image. I don't know which ones support which file formats.
If your scanner software outputted a PDF, I am surprised that it wasn't converted to text by default.

I am sorry. Thought I was very clear. Where this is taking place is in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 10. I assumed you would know I was trying to save the scanned document to PDF after using the create a PDF from a scanner. That is why I listed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.

Convert scanned document into PDF

I have PDF Pack and am trying to convert a scanned document to PDF and ultimately to MS Word. How is this done?

Hi georges,
If the ultimate goal is a Word document, I would recommend against the additional step of converting to PDF first, if possible. What scanning software are you working with? Does it save in a format that Word can open?
If you don't have access to the scanning software, and saving to PDF is your only option, then you would use ExportPDF (part of Adobe PDF Pack) to convert the PDF file Word. (To convert the file to PDF, choose Create PDF on the menu bar when you're logged in to PDF Pack at https://cloud.acrobat.com.)

Hey, q about scanning documents to pdf.

Hello all
I want to scan documents to pdf, everday we have about 400 documents shipping documents from our waerchouse and we want to archivizate them in pdf. We need a programm who can scan this documents to pdf and write them in seperate files, on the documents are barcodes, the barcodes could be used to seperate the document. PLZ help and sry for me English.

If you have a scanner, it should come with its own scanning software. Alternatively you can download it from the manufacturer's website.
You can also use Adobe Acrobat to scan documents, which allows you to do text recognition (OCR). However, I have found that the original scanning software allows you much more functions than Acrobat does.

Saving Scanned Documents as PDF's

I have a new HP Officejet L7590 All in one printer. My last
HP 6210 had an option in the "Scan To" window under the "File
Type"/"Save As" drop down menu for PDF's. My new HP only has "Save
As" "File Type" options of "GIF", "Bitmap", Tiff & Tiff
Compressed. Is there a way to import or make a PDF option item in
the drop down menu or way to Scan/Save documents as PDF's from my
scanner? My OS is XP and I am running Adobe Reader 9.

How can I scan a document to PDF in Windows 7 Professional

I have a Canon MX892 which I previously used with Windows XP. I was able to scan documents to PDF very easily using the Canon Solutions Menu EX. I am now using Windows 7 Pro 64. I downloaded the associated version of Canon Solutions Menu EX, but it is completely different from the Windows XP with far less functionality. Is there some way to scan documents to PDF with Windows 7 Pro?

Hi daberg,
There is a program called MP Navigator that comes with the printer that can assist you with scanning a document in as a PDF file. Once you are in the MP Navigator program, please follow these steps to scan and save a document in PDF format:
1. When MP Navigator opens, click on the ONE-CLICK option at the top of the window.
2. Click on the SAVE AS PDF FILE button.
3. Place the document you want to scan on the Platen, then select your Document Type (either Color or Black and White Photo or Document), Size, and Resolution.
4. In the FILENAME section, the default name for the file will be IMG; you can change this to something else if you would like by highlighting the IMG and then typing over it.
5. In the SAVE IN section, you will see the folder path and location that the file will be saved to when you scan it; if you would like to change the location, please click on the SPECIFY button and select the location where you would like the file saved to.
6. Below the SAVE IN section, there is a checkbox titled SAVE TO A SUBFOLDER WITH THE CURRENT DATE. If you leave this checkbox checked, then whatever folder location you select will have a folder with the current date of the scan placed in it, and inside of the currently dated folder will be the file that you scanned. If you do not want to have the program create the subfolder, please uncheck that box.
7. Click the green SCAN button. Scanning starts. When scanning is completed, the file will be saved in the location you specified.
8. You can then close out of the MP Navigator program and go to the location where you specified the file to save. You should find the PDF file in that location.
Hope this helps!

Problem Converting Word 2007 Document to PDF

I am having trouble converting a Word 2007 document to a PDF document. I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I have tried to convert the document using the right-click drop down list as well as converting from within the Word document screen itself. I get the same results -- no PDF document is converted (or opened in a PDF screen).
When I do the convert from the drop down list or from within the Word document, it gets to the point where it asks me for the name of the new document. I click save (on the Word document name) and it looks like it is converting, but then the Adobe Acrobat conversion window disappears and no PDF document opens. I noticed that on the frequently used documents list (from the Windows start button), the new PDF document is listed, but when I click on it, Windows say it cannot find the associated file. When I look through the list of documents in the folder, the new PDF file is not there either.
I ran the repair program in Adobe Acrobat. After it was done, I clicked the button not to restart until later. When that window closed, I heard the windows "gong" sound with a message to reinstall acrobat. I rebooted and the problem persists.
I also have a Fujitsu Scansnap machine which scans documents to PDF files and that seems to still be working fine, so I know at least part of Acrobat is working fine.
I check the list of disabled add ins in Office and nothing is disabled.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Open the document in WORD. Select the print menu in WORD (don't know what to call the stupid file icon MS now uses) and select the Adobe PDF printer. See if printing there works.
If the print does work, then skip the next few comments. If it does not, then go back to the print menu and check the print-to-file button and print. You will be asked for a location and file name. Be sure to note where you put the file and change the extension to PS (like filename.ps). Then starte Distiller and open the PS file you created in Distiller (if you forget to change the extension to PS, then it will be a PRN file and just select that one). Check if the PDF is created this time. If not, you should get error messages from Distiller -- copy all of the error message back here for us to see.
If the PDF creation in the last step worked, then open the task list (ctrl-alt-del -- select the task list) and look for AcroTray.exe. If it is not running, then it has probably been deleted from the startup. It is found in the Distiller folder of Acrobat for most versions, but may have moved for your version. In any case, restart it if needed.
As for PDF Maker that you are apparently using, that is a different process. However, check the printing process first and see if you can get it working. If not, PDF Maker will likely not work either. With AA8 and before, PDF Maker was simply a preprocessor for the printer and the selection of a DOC file in Acrobat simply uses PDF Maker to create the PDF. So you have to back out to more basics in creation and be sure those are working before the more advanced technique you are trying to use has any hope.
