Scanning pdf files to iphoto

I've been scanning pdf created files via fijitsu scan-snap into documents, then printing into iphoto to store documents into smart albums. When I tried to scan pdf files to iphoto, they are not recognized-I can only print pdf files. Any work around that's not more complex?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto doesn't support pdf files, only image files. These might be of interest:

Hi @kitesquid,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g, does not save a scanned PDF file on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
To verify the printer's hardware is functional, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original.
In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know the results!
Hope to hear from you soon!

Cannot import PDF files into iPhoto 4.0.3

Is it possible to import PDF files into iPhoto 4.0.3? I can't drag and drop them into iphoto folders without the "Unreadable Files" error. I have tried importing them through the iPhoto menu and still get the same results. I have tried importing the PDF files from several places such as my desktop because I wondered if the location of the original made a difference, but that doesn't seem to help. I didn't find anything when I searched for this problem here in the forum so I wondered if anyone else is having the same problems.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Morgan

No because I had iPhoto 4 open and tried to run the Save PDF to iPhoto on a book in that library. I think it's just the different data structure, etc.. It's just not compatible with Automator or at least that particular workflow. I tried printing to PDF from V4 and then do the Save to iPhoto from Preview with V4 open and I still get the error message. So iPhoto 4 is just not compatible with that workflow.
A workaround is to create a PDF file of the whole book and then manually save each page as a jpg file and import those. That's what I did for my first book. You could do a screen shot of each page in the preview mode and use those but the resolution will be limited to screen resolution, 72dip. You will get resolutions on the order of 150-200 dpi thru the Save As route in Preview or the Save to iPhoto automator method.
I'm sure you could create an Automator workflow that would take the PDF file and save each page as a jpg file and name it sequentially. I'll have to take a closer look at Automator soon.

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.

How can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe 9 pro ?

how can i edit a scanned pdf file in adobe acrobae 9 pro ?

With Clear Scan you get the text replacing the graphics of text. That can be edited. If you do searchable PDF conversion, you can still edit (I think). However it is an edit of the hidden layer of text behind the graphic and does not show on screen normally.
Usually the best choice is to ask the author for the original file to edit. If that is a copyright issue, then you should not be editing anyway.

You can use PDF Buddy, the online PDF editor that makes it easy to add text, images, and annotations on top of scanned PDF files.

Scanned pdf file-how to edit/translate

Hi,
I am not very good at working with computers/but pretty good at messing them up...Anyhow, I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and I received a file that I need to translate into my own language (my own translation, no need of computer aid in translating), it is a scanned pdf file. How do I manage to put a cursor in a file like this? Do I need a "character recognition" something software or is it so easy that I can't figure it out?....Thanks for any help/advice you have regarding this,
Anne

learn the best thanks to edit a PDF file that originated from a scanned document. This multi-step method involves running Text Recognition (OCR) on your scanned document initial then victimization the new Content written material panel tools in athlete XI.

Unable to view scanned PDF files

I registered for Adobe ExportPDF in February. Since then Adobe on my PC was upgraded, and now I am unable to view scanned PDF files. What can be done about this?
Thanks

Hi David
The update that was done in response to a prompt was done to 10.1.9. Something apparently went wrong, because when I uninstalled it and reinstalled 11.0.06 everything worked fine.
Thanks

Importing PDF files into iPhoto

I seem to remember being able to import pdf files into iPhoto; now I am unable to.
When I click on the pdf option in Print, "Save PDF to iPhoto" is one of the options given. If I click it, and try to save pdfs to iPhoto, I get a dialog box asking me to choose which album to import to. Whichever one I choose, I get an Applescript error, "file/private/temp/etc.etc.jpg was not found (-43)" .
If I create a pdf and drag it to iPhoto, I get an "Unreadable files" dialog box telling me "The following file could to be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)"
And if I try to import via File––>Import, the pdfs are all greyed out.
Any suggestions?
Would upgrading the OS to 10.4.5 or the iPhoto to 6.1 help? I'm temporarily abroad, and don't want to screw up the laptop if I can avoid it.

luba:
That's been a bug with the Automator workflow ever since it's been introduced. Be sure to post that fact at the iPhoto feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
I wanted to create a slideshow of a book that I created but had to open each page of the book and do a Save As, picking the jpg format, to be able to do what I wanted.

How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this

How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this, but I do not see any instructions how to do it.

Hi,
When using Adobe ExportPDF online service, it will run OCR itself when converting any PDF to other file format.
It also depends upon the quality of the scanned document, so it might be possible that it does not make the file searchable.

Unable to open scanned pdf files today. Was able to before.

Today when attempting to open scanned pdf files which opened successfully yesterday, this message appears:
"Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported."
As I mentioned this was not a problem yesterday. Suggestions? Thanks!

If you are trying to open a file in paint, why are you posting in the Adobe Reader forum. Paint is an MS product. Since you have a pdf file, try opening the file in Adobe Reader using the File->Open dialog box. That should work.

I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel.

I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel. I do not get the columns and rows to align, just a single column of everything. Any suggestions?

Export makes use of what is "in" a PDF.
Good export is the "silk purse" and, ya know, you canna make a silk purse from a sow's ear (which is what any scanned image in PDF is with regards to export).
The quality of export is dictated by the quality of the PDF. We are taking about the "inner essences" of the PDF (e.g., degree of compliance with the PDF Standard - ISO 32000-1).
So, what goes in goes out or "GIGO".
This has nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat's export process.
A well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant to ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) provides a PDF that proactively
supports content export by Acrobat.
To get the good stuff from export you start with a well-formed Tagged PDF.
Goodstuff In — Goodstuff Out
or
Garbage In — Garbage Out
"GIGO"
Be well...

Can't import .pdf file into iphoto

I think the problem is that I had taped pics onto 8.5x11 paper and at copy shop they scanned into a .pdf file which has 8 pages of pics. What I want to do is find a way to drag pics off of a page into iphoto to email to family.
Maybe this is impossible? I don't have a scanner, is why I went to copy shop.
I can view the pages in PREVIEW and in ADOBE reader, and try to highlight pic and copy into iphoto, but it only shows a part of top of image.
I also tried in Adobe Reader the menus: Tools/Select and zoom/snapshot and it shows "copied to clipboard" but when try to go into iphoto to paste, the PASTE word is greyed out; same if try to paste to desktop. Any ideas how to get photo's off .pdf file? TKS ahead for help!

In preview go to print and click PDF and select send PDF to iPhoto . In iPhoto duplicate the resulting image and crop to a photo and repeat as needed
