Copy the text in the pdf format gives me gobbledygook. Is there a way to OCR to correct?
I have some documents that are complete gibberish when I select the text and copy. If I open them in Acrobat Pro, select text, copy and "Show clipboard" in the Finder, I see a lot of 'skull characters', and if I open them in the preview and do the same thing, I see strings of points. The text in the Clipboard may not intelligible stuck being in any other program, and I can't find the document.
Some of these documents were downloaded from commercial sites. One of them is from (I think) OCR'ing has scanned the document using ClearScan. An example of such a document is at https://public.me.com/ix/alanterra/Reynoso%202006%20p%201.pdf?disposition=download+1317001 233647 (small, 55 K).
It seems to me only one way to do this is to convert the document into a "scanned" pdf, then OCR it. But the only way I can understand how this is the image of each page separately in Photoshop and then assemble the pages into a new document.
There must be a way to solve this problem.
Any thoughts?

PS - If you look at the document linked to above, you will notice that the text in the footer is consistent, but not the text in the body of the document.
You will be able to use the OCR in Acrobat after you convert the outline type. You will need to add transparency, then use the Flattener Preview to expose your type. Here are the steps (for Acrobat 9):
1. the document > watermark > Add (add a text watermark, press the SPACEBAR once).
2 advanced > Print Production > overview of flattening > convert all text to outlines text (box). Record.
3. the document > OCR text recognition > recognize text using OCR. Select all text with the text tool, copy.
This method is not perfect, you will need to check the copy to find errors.

I created a form with fields default text for a user to update/customize. Is there a way to style of the text, so I can quickly identify the changes to the default text in a field?
You can use a validation script customized to each text field that looks like:
event.target.textFont = event.value = event.target.defaultValue? font. HelvI: fonts. Helv;
This will make the text italic (Helvetica) when the field value is the value default and regular otherwise. There are other properties that you can use instead, as the field color, border width, background color, text or text size...

I'm on Acrobat 10 for mac and I need help with the distribution of shape feature. Is there a way to change the registration e-mail download addressed to the? Currently all forms I create and then distribute may only be subjected to my email account... I appreciate any help!
Do not use the feature distribute the form. Instead of this, just put up a button "submit" and configure it to send email using any email address you want. Just add a button and set the action of the mouse upward on "Submit a form" and use a type mailto URL and specify that you want to send the full PDF. Then activate the reader of the document: where "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader" is located in Acrobat XI?
If you really want to use distribute the form for some reason, change the e-mail address in your preferences: Edit > Preferences > identity > Email address

I dropped my iPhone 4S and now the touchscreen does not work. Is there a way I can fix it without having to buy another or should I buy another? (my screen is cracked)
From what I see, Apple does not screen repair for any older than the iPhone iPhone 5. I don't see off-warranty, replacement cost for 4 on their page of repair, but I'm figuring you would spend at least $200 to get a new.
Would be better to see if your cell phone operator has the options of upgrade for you.

I just got an iPhone 6 and when I plugged in my laptop, he asked if I wanted to restore my new phone. I said yes! But unfortunately chose the wrong backup restore with. Is there a way I can go back to how my phone was before?
Yes, you can as long as you understand that you will lose everything that is currently on the phone.
(1) settings > General > reset > erase content and settings
That will make the iPhone as new. Then, during the installation process it again once will ask you if you want to restore from an existing backup. You can then restore the scheduled backup.

I am owner of Dreamweaver 8 comes with Macromedia Studio 8. I'm getting worried about the age of the machine which is on. Is there a way to upgrade a laptop Windows 7 which does not involve a monthly rent and allows to work on the source code of my Web site completely offline?
Thank you. Last time I looked into things with the description "Cloud", it seemed to me that you either need to be logged to the software work (possibly validate the rental date?) and/or your content of current things was 'in the cloud '.
While I don't like the rental model, if I can make it work offline that may be an option.
Fortunately, the machine still works, so I have little time to decide. It is likely that my existing sites in Dreamweaver 8 will be compatible up with current versions?
