Where is the hidden text?

All:
I'm attempting to unravel a Flash template and there are two Flash movies, Main and Magazine, the second being embedded into the first. The Magazine Flash file contains a menu of links to various pages in the Magazine movie. There are 5 of these links - About, Services, Contact, etc. I've been trying to find the text elements so I can assign new colors, but the only thing that I can find is the first element. There is a scene called menutxt which has an area with text for each of the five links but they all have the text "About" in the buttons. I would have expected each button to contain the different link names. In any event, I can't seem to find any file which contains the individual text elements so I was assuming that this was a standard Flash convention for menus and that perhaps somebody in this forum can help guide me to the place withing the Flash file where I can change the text.
Thanks so much.
Steve

No external actionscript file. No luck yet. Here is some more info. In the Flash file there are several movie clips. Here are the descriptions:
1) menu, this has 5 layers each with one of the five menu buttons, but each with the text "About" on top
2) menu_mc, has a layer, text and button, sized for the length of the word "About". The word "About" appear in the text. If I change it, the text changes for items 1 - 6.
3) menu_mc2, has a layer, text and button, sized for the length of the word "Services". The word "About" appear in the text. If I change it, the text changes for items 1 - 6.
4) menu_mc3, has a layer, text and button, sized for the length of the word "Wedding Checklist". The word "About" appear in the text. If I change it, the text changes for items 1 - 6.
5) menu_mc4, has a layer, text and button, sized for the length of the word "Photo Gallery". The word "About" appear in the text. If I change it, the text changes for items 1 - 6.
6) menu_mc5, has a layer, text and button, sized for the length of the word "Contact". The word "About" appear in the text. If I change it, the text changes for items 1 - 6.
7) menuTxt_mc, has 2 layers one of which has the text "About"
I can't find any actionscripts attached to any of this. Does this help?
Thanks again.

How to access the hidden text?

I would like to access the "hidden text" (i.e., the one generated by OCR) in a PDF file.
Is that doable? How?
TIA,

Hi Berndt,
I always to remind myself to include in the postings that all my questions refer to programmatic ways of doing things.
So, how do I use scripting in order to access the hidden text?
Are there any examples somewhere?
Thanks!

Where is the yellow text box?

In Safari 2 (in Tiger) I had the ability to draw a solid yellow box onto a pdf document and type information into the box. It appears that feature has been replaced in Safari 3 by the Notes tool. The problem is with the notes, it appears you would only see the note text on the screen and not when you print out the page (like in Safari 2). Is there any way to get the old style note function back?
Thanks.
David

This question really applies to Preview, not Safari. I will close this question and post in the correct forum.

Where is the hidden movie trailer?

Hi there,
I remember in previous versions of mac osx, e.g., snow leopard, leopard, press key "cmd+esc" will show a movie trailer. I really enjoy it but didn't see it again after upgrading to lion.
Someone knows what's going on?
Thanks.

Yes it is a loss.

The order of Hidden text in a TOC

I have set up a TOC for a document. Some of the TOC are questions and answers, the Para style for both questions and answers being brought into the TOC automatically. Some of the questions are extremely long so I'm creating hidden text on another layer and shortening the hidden layer questions to 'Question X' and these are also coming into the TOC now.
However I'm having trouble on one particular page where there is a Question and an answer and I cannot get the (hidden) Question to appear in the TOC before the answer - it keeps on appearing after the answer. I've tried having the hidden layer, containing the hidden question, as the top layer, bottom layer, varying the position of the hidden text on the page (top/bottom) and updating the TOC, but it keeps appearing after the answer! Infuriating.
What governs the inclusion position of TOC elements that all physically appear on the same layout page?
Anyone with any ideas to help me out, or a 'work-around'?

I am wondering if you ever got an answer to this as I have the same problem.

OCR and hidden text in PDF scans of historic documents

I need to edit the hidden text behind a scanned PDF image of a document. The image must remain as an “exact” copy of the original scanned document.
I used Acrobat Pro (versions 7 and 9) to make PDF images of old typed documents from the 1940’s. When I open those images and run OCR in version 9, then examine the hidden (invisible) text layer behind the image, there are errors. For example, the word “book” has been picked-up by the OCR as the word “look.” I need to change the “l” to a “b” in order to make the PDF accurate when it is searched at a later date.
I have checked many user forums. Most people imply that hidden text can be viewed, but NOT edited in Acrobat Pro 7 and 9. (Hidden text can be viewed in Version 9 by selecting “Document” “Examine Document” and then clicking on the “+” symbol next to “Hidden Text,” then clicking “Show preview.”) Some say to use Adobe Capture 3.0 to edit hidden text. Others say to use Photoshop or Illustrator to edit hidden text (I think these folks may have been confused, because Photoshop and Illustrator would be used, logically, to edit the image ON TOP OF the hidden text). Yet another person seemed to say that a hidden text editor was added to Acrobat 8, but was taken away in Acrobat 9. (I can’t verify that because I don’t have version 8.)
The closest answer I was able to find involved using the Text Touch Up Tool on top of the image to edit hidden text behind it, but when you do that you are typing “blind.” In other words, you highlight a spot on the image (top layer) where you THINK the error MIGHT be, and you type the correction without being able to see what you are typing over. Then, you go back to the “Examine Document” procedure (described above) to see if you “hit” your mark, and if not, you redo it until you do “hit” your mark. With the number of documents and corrections that we have, that procedure would be too labor intensive and thus a budget breaker.
If we have to buy more software, my preference would be to buy a genuine Adobe product because I have experienced problems in the past switching back and forth between Adobe products and other PDF manipulation software.
Can anyone answer any of these questions:
(1) Is there a way in Acrobat versions 7, 8 or 9 to edit hidden text, and if so, how?
(2) What Adobe software (other than Acrobat) will edit hidden text behind a PDF image?
(3) Assuming no Adobe product will edit hidden text behind a PDF image, is there any non-Adobe products that will do that?
Thank you!

Hi,
Unless you use Acrobat 8 Pro's Formatted Text & Graphics" or Acrobat 9 Pro's ClearScan you will find that there is no
practicable means of editing the OCR "hidden text" in a PDF.
The TouchUp text tool (Advanced Editing toolbar) is reliant upon the selected text having an available system font to use during touchup. However, both Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) OCR output is of text rendering mode 3 (invisible text) that is provided from within Acrobat and not any installed system or other application installed font.
With Searchable Image (Exact) you have the untouched image augmented by the invisible text which is provided as a user aid for search or find with Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The invisible text is not intended to support word processor like editing.
To your questions:
#1. There is no practicable way to edit invisible text (text rendering mode 3) with Acrobat (any past or current release).
#2. None.
#3. A good question. Perhaps a specialty program. Keep in mind, many products provide a promise but those those that actually deliver tend to be expensive.
Something to play with. Using Acrobat 9 Pro or Pro Extended, try the Preflight Fixup to embed hidden text.
Then try using the TouchUp Text tool. You may also want to see if you can change the font type of this newly embedded font.
(use copies of the "real" files - just in case <g>).

Editing hidden text in pdf?

Scanning 19th-century and early 20th-century documents as TIFFs, creating PDF using the original images as pages. OCR can't recognize the text well, so the hidden text needs extensive editing. Using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional on Windows 2000 Professional.
Can see the hidden text using Examine Document; can only edit using the Text TouchUp Tool on the page, where the hidden text is not visible.
* Is there any way to see both the hidden text and the page at the same time?
* Is there a better way to edit the text?
* Is there any way to import text to use in the hidden text?
* Is there any way to apply hidden text to an image where none was created in the OCR conversion?

The answer to most (maybe all) of your questions is probably to use 'proper' OCR software like Abbyyy Finereader or ReadIris. Trial downloads are available from their web pages. Output can be in the same pdf format that you need.

Hidden text and TOC order

I have hidden text in a document that I have set to appear in the TOC. However, it appears in the wrong place in the TOC. I have placed the hidden layer where I want it to appear in the document (and tried moving it around a bit), but it still comes up in the wrong place. I have also tried creating the text on the same layer (with no fill so it doesn't show in the document) and anchoring it where I want it to appear and that too appears in the wrong place. Can anyone help me?

The blue text frame has the info I want in the TOC (the text is in white so you only see the dots between the letters). It is anchored behing the "guiding principles". In the TOC it should be Guiding principles, then the hidden text, then ACTIVITY: Salt and Light, but the Activity is always before front of the hidden text when I update the TOC.

How can I correct "hidden" text in a searchable PDF file?

This seems like a simple question. However, the answers are invariably complex, do not yield the desired result, and often answer a different question entirely. I say all that just to warn people up front that the "problem" is easier than how many people and PDF application developers, including Adobe, typically understand it while the proposed "solutions" are invariably a total...well, botch is a reasonable word if a bit understated.
Here is the actual problem:
I have "searchable" PDF files created by scanning documents and running them through an OCR process. I create "searchable" PDF files in order to archive, index, and eventually enable searching for the documents scanned. A "searchable" PDF satisfies those criteria better than any other commonly used, "portable" archive format -- though I would be happy if someone could point out an obvious alternative I may have overlooked. I do not need perfect OCR results. If I need a document to edit or perhaps feed into a spreadsheet or database, I expect to be able to reprocess the page images in a given "searchable" PDF file to OCR and convert the contents to Word, RTF, Excel, or another file format as necessary with more care for the results than for the archived document itself. Therefore, the "searchable" PDF document is the scanned page images which compose it while the OCR generated "searchable" text is secondary, but still important. Therefore, each file must contain scanned page images of sufficient detail to be efficiently converted by OCR if possible and legible enough for whoever views the images to be able to work out what an OCR process may fail to understand. Once scanned, those pages are the "document" and therefore "immutable." However, OCR is imperfect. For a searchable document archive, it does not have to be, but some errors are significant in that they may prevent the document from being found by a search. Therefore, there must be a way to view and, if necessary, edit the "hidden" text in a "searchable" PDF without altering the visual display of a document or how it is printed. No strike-throughs. No visible "corrections." None of the stuff PDF editors want to insert into a PDF file when editing it. I do not want to edit the document without exporting it to a format appropriate for an editable document. I just want adequately "correct" hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file.
I apologize for the length and redundancy in my description of the problem. However, past attempts to explain my problem and objectives as well as what I have seen in reply to similar queries across the Internet indicate that most people trying to answer this question come at it from the same point of view shared by most, if not all, PDF tool or application vendors. They seem to think that any desire to edit a PDF file is a desire to have a PDF word processor of some sort. Or, they assume that the OCR process employed may need tweaking of the means by which people apply it and then a process like "find suspects" is adequate to deal with any errors. But no, those are not what I am trying to accomplish and answers which address those topics do not answer this question.
In short, which tool or application from any vendor will reveal the "searchable" hidden text in a PDF produced by any OCR or other process and then enable corrections to the hidden text without changing any document display parameters at all? Note, hidden text typically includes bounding box information denoting the portion of the image from which the text was recognized. That information must not be lost or changed when editing the "searchable" text.
So, any tools or applications capable of doing this? If Adobe Acrobat XI Pro can (use of a trial copy demonstrated that the hidden text content can be reviewed, but editing did not work by any straight-forward means I could work out while trying out the application), fine. However, $500.00 list or even a $200.00 possible upgrade from a copy of Adobe Acrobat X Standard which came with my scanner is a lot of money for personal use when review and edit of the OCR generated hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file is the only function I require. Therefore, other suggested tools or applications which do what I need for less would be greatly appreciated.

My "claim"? Actually I've made no "claim" such as you've mentioned.
Simply stated your OP has foundational premises that presume as factual what is not.
Here, we're in Adobe's hosted user forum for Acrobat.
Any other application use is not material.
Acrobat XI provides 3 OCR methods.
Searchable Image, Searchable Image (Exact) & ClearScan.
Only the first two provide the "hidden" text output.
(Glyphs have no stroke, no fill)
From back to the Acrobat 3 product family the design functionality of Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) has been to facilitate the use of Find / Search.
The "hidden" text is can be touched up. Acrobat Pro provides the facility to view the hidden text.
So you can see what the OCR output that correlates to the bit-map images of the characters that are present.
With Acrobat XI Pro use Tools - Protection -Remove Hidden Information
In the Remove Hidden Information pane select "Hidden text" then "Show preview".
The default for the preview is "Show Only Hidden Text".
Back in the PDF --
You'd select some of the hidden text and retype what you suspect is the correct string of characters.
Save and return to the preview of the hidden text.
If you got it right, good. Continue.
If not, darn - try again.
Plug 'n chug -- somewhere over the rainbow it'll be done eh.
Full disclosure -- this is something I've done (enquiring minds don't you know).
I've found it to be a rather Sisypean undertaking.
So, "doable" but not practicable.
This is to be expected because such touchups are not the concern / focus of the output from Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact) - (the names tell it all).
To have touchup "editablity" of an OCR output using Acrobat make use of ClearScan.
ClearScan replaces recognized character bit-maps with a character from an Acrobat internal font.
The character strings can be selected to change to a generic, system available font.
Something that is good to know when embarking on the "tweak the PDF" journey is that PDF (the file format / technology as defined by its ISO Standard, ISO 32000-1) does not tolerate "editing". PDF is decidely not a word processor file format and "editing" can quickly render a PDF unusable.
Minor touchups can be made and your best "tool" for this is still Acrobat Pro. (Save As often and periodically "bank" the PDF via some file rename scheme.)
Be well...

Hidden Text Lost in Conversion to HTML

I'm currently converting all of our RoboHELP for Word
projects to RoboHTML projects. We track all of our documentation
changes in the RH Word projects with hidden text. When we convert
to RoboHTML, the hidden text is not carried over.
Is there any way to carry the hidden text from RH Word to RH
HTML without manually unhiding the text in Word and then applying a
condition tag in HTML?
Thanks
Jodie

Jodie -
Hopefully, you have hidden the text using a style, rather
than applying the hidden formatting manually. This would allow you
to change the style to something not hidden. Then, after Robohelp
creates its css style counterpart for it, you can set it to be
hidden again, with a display:none in the html style sheet. You
could even add a button to the pages for users to hide and show the
revision histories...

Where is the hidden text?
