Why does OCR crash with Acrobat XI on a brand new Mac. It happens almost every time on a long document.

Question

Brand new Macbook Pro, running OS X Mavericks. Latest trial version of Acrobat Pro. I need to make lengthy (say 1,000 pages) document searchable. OCR crashes after a couple of hundred pages every time. I get an error like this:
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type IDRS::CIDRSException

I've had a similar problem.  I was going to start a new thread but I think I'll just include my problem here.
I am OCRing (if you'll allow me to turn OCR into a verb) a large number of documents.  Every once in awhile Acrobat crashes.  It gives the message that I've pasted in below.  There was some discussion about this in a previous thread, but that concerned Acrobat 9, and an Adobe representative responded to the thread, saying that the problem would be fixed with 9.1.  There was talk there of the problem being one of resolution of image, but that possibility seemed to have been ruled out.  This problem usually occurs with larger files (greater than, say, 25 GB), and rarely with smaller ones.  (I should mention that I'm OCRing Japanese language documents, but this really shouldn't make a difference.)
Other threads about this: Acrobat 9 crashes on OCR and OCR CrashingCan anyone help me with a problem I am having with the current OCR engine crashing, I have a lot of difficul….
If Acrobat simply skipped the problem pages it wouldn't be such a problem, as I'd simply have, say, three or four non-OCR pages in a 500-page document, but that's not the case.  Instead it crashes and I then have to go back and actually watch the OCR process, waiting to see which page is the problem so that I can manually skip it.  This turns a process that ideally is one my computer does while I cook dinner or do other work into a time-consuming endeavor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  If I need to post an example of the problem page here I can do so.
