How to combine ocr'd text areas

When I OCR a scanned document, acrobat automatically has all the text in a hundred separate boxes so I can't copy and paste even a paragraph of text. How to combine these boxes in a large text box so that I can select all the text I need?

Hi graphics198086222,

Digitization of works in form of image and implementation of SIO on image are a difficult task. OCR recognizes only the part of text, so if there is enough space between the text, it will create a new text box. Is not possible to group them all.

Try selecting all the option ' Ctrl + A ', to check if it works for you or not.

Kind regards

  • How to insert an editable text area

    Hi all

    I'm hoping to reproduce a process that I have done in the past.  I was working with a MS Word document and had a method to export it in PDF format.  In the new PDF file, I was able to add text fields that can be changed (the document is investigated).  The rest of the PDF file is not editable, but text fields allow students to enter their comments.

    I still have the original document that I realized that with the past, but I have not any notes about the way he did.  Here's a screenshot of what I'm trying to accomplish...

    Is anyone aware of how to duplicate this process?  The Word document has been imported with simple lines of text to enter comments.  Once in the PDF file, these lines of text have been used to create this editable text fields.  I am also curious to know how to change the font, size, ect.

    Used programs:

    Word 2007

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    Thank you!

    The editable fields are "form fields". So looking for something to do with the forms. Don't let it run LiveCycle Designer for you (he wants), use the form in Acrobat editing tools.

  • How to remove the text areas of a scanned document

    How can I remove a plethora (sp?) of the text areas of a scanned document?

    Hello JBreeden,

    More scanned documents cannot be changed, unless you have a software that can read digital information. The scanned document is just a picture of the item that you have scanned. You must have a software like OCR (optical character recognition) to be able to make changes to the digitized item.

    Thank you

  • How to change the white text and more light colours of text and illustrations to deep colors or provide a deeper black outline, so that they are legible?

    I noticed that the illustrations and white text are not readable as well as light colored fonts that I use. I have consulted with Microsoft and other help sections various areas recommended, but impossible to find what is the problem and how to solve these problems. In order to clarify, for example, if I go on a site that displays white text anywhere on the screen, or illustrations in white, I can't read or see anything even if I do expand. I tried to innovate in following things suggested in onlne Microsoft Help related to the resolution section, but can't find anything on this specific problem when I do a search. I tried to change my display resolution settings, change the background color of my screen, themes and even the font colors, but nothing changes for the problem. I also noticed that any file in my computer appearing in any color of light is also hard to read. I must not do something correctly, but I don't know what. It's a pain for example, when I go to a site, and the white text and illustrations appear, but do not have any black outlining. Magnification just leads to the same result. Can anyone identify which is the problem, the settings on which I should be focusing and provide instructions on how to fix this?  I use Windows Vista Home Premium and I am a layman when it comes to computers.

  • The present no embedded fonts in scanned documents containing plain text are not get converted fonts incorporated after OCR applied. But the texts are searchable. The text even unincorporated font that is formatted as text (not scanned) become stupid

    The present no embedded fonts in scanned documents containing plain text are not get converted fonts incorporated after OCR applied. But the texts are searchable. Even fonts not embedded text that is formatted as text (not digital) are themselves converted to fonts embedded by adobe distiller.

    Fix. Expected behavior.

    Output of the OCR is not incorporated. With Acrobat Pro, a preflight check is available to embed the fonts.

    On the use of Distiller - using a work option distill configured appropriately that the PDF created from the authoring application (FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word, etc.) will have embedded fonts.

  • How to combine 2 documents in pages

    I am writing a thesis in pages mac 5.6.1. So far, I wrote each chapter in separate documents and plan to simply combining them as you could in the old versions of the pages.

    How to combine in this version of pages? When I copy and paste the documents out of format with the cards move. If I convert to PDF, I lose the ability to put in an index and subsequently change.

    What is the best way to combine?

    V5.6.1 pages needs to copy and paste into the body of the document recipient of the document. Any object of document (graphics, tables, images, text boxes) will probably require a personal visit to the tab reorder in the right panel, where the object Placement and design will need to be adjusted to get the layout of document recipient behavior you are looking for. A text wrap of None to move objects in the desired position.

    Pages ' 09 may still be in your Applications: case of iWork ' 09, and has more substantial than v5.6.1 Pages functionality.

    Making any type of production of essential educational document in any version of Pages v5 is a high-risk business, as much found, when Pages v5 simply refuses to open or save the document. I recommend MS Word for academic pursuit because that's what the Faculty will be required to use internally, and you would work with a much more stable product which allows exchanging native Word document formats with the same Faculty.

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

    This seems to be a simple question. However, the answers are always complex, do not give the desired result and often answering a different question altogether. I say all this just to warn people at the outset that the 'problem' is easier than how many people and PDF application developers, including Adobe, generally it include the proposed "solutions" are invariably a total... Well, botch a reasonable word if somewhat underestimated.

    Here's the real problem:

    I have "searchable" PDF files created by scanning documents and their implementation through an OCR process. I create "searchable" PDF files to archive, index and possibly allow search for scanned documents. A "searchable" PDF file meets these criteria better than any other commonly used, 'portable' archive format - although I'd be happy if someone could indicate an obvious alternative I can remember. I don't have a perfect OCR results. If I need a document to edit or maybe feed in a spreadsheet or a database, I expect to be able to reprocess the page images in a given "searchable" OCR PDF and convert the content Word, RTF, Excel or another file format as needed with more carefully to the results for the archived document itself. Therefore, the "searchable" PDF document is scanned page images making it up while the OCR generated 'text' is secondary, but still important. Therefore, each file must contain images of the scanned page in sufficient detail to be efficiently converted by OCR if possible and quite readable for people who consider the images to be able to establish a process of OCR can not understand. Once scanned, these pages are the 'document' and so 'immutable '. However, OCR is not perfect. For an archive of searchable documents, it doesn't have to be, but some mistakes are important because they can prevent the document to be found by a search. Therefore, there must be a way to view and, if necessary, change the text 'hidden' in a "searchable" PDF file without changing the view of a document or how it is printed. No redaction. Not visible "corrections." None of the PDF stuff publishers want to insert in a PDF file when you edit it. I don't want to modify the document without exporting to a format suitable for an editable document. I just want enough 'correct' text hidden in a PDF "searchable".

    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've seen in response to similar questions through the Internet indicate that most people trying to answer this question coming home the same point of view shared by most, if not all, sellers PDF tool or application. They seem to think that all desire to edit a PDF file is a desire to have a PDF processing any. Or, they assume that the process of OCR employee may need tweaking of the means by which people apply and then a process like 'find the suspects' is sufficient to deal with errors. But no, it's not what I'm trying to accomplish and the responses that deal with these subjects do not meet this issue.

    In short, what tool or the application of any provider will reveal "searchable" hidden text in a file PDF produced by any OCR or any other process and then enable corrections to the text hidden without changing the document display settings at all? Note, includes hidden text generally limit the information in the box which indicates the portion of the picture that the text has been recognized. This information must be lost or changed when you change the text "available".

    Thus the tools or applications that can do that? If Adobe Acrobat Pro XI can (use of a copy of the trial showed that hidden text content may be revised, but publishing has failed by any simple way I work while trying the application), fine. However, list $ 500.00 or even a $200.00 can update a copy of Adobe Acrobat X Standard that came with my scanner is a lot of money for personal use when reviewing and changing the hidden text in a PDF "searchable" OCR is the only function I need. Therefore, other instruments suggested or applications that make what I need for less would be greatly appreciated.

    I scan a document directly or starting with a PDF "only images", no Adobe product offers a convenient way to examine and correct the 'hidden' text generated by either the process Adobe Acrobat OCR OCR tools or third-party applications. When you use Adobe Acrobat, the 'Find the Suspects' function will allow correction of the flags of Acrobat OCR results, but a lot of mistakes-for example the names are a particular problem because incorrectly recognized the outcome of the names of "viewable" files that could not be found when looking for files containing the text elements that are among the most likely entered search terms - will not be reported as "suspect" and cannot be corrected in a file to be saved as a file PDF 'searchable' where 'searchable' is Image indexable () 'Exact)"- that is a PDF file containing images of scanned documents original, no altered page - with the"searchable"text written in the file as text 'hidden' 'under' the images on the page.

    For scanning and archiving paper documents with text 'hidden' to enable computerized research, products from other suppliers should be used. Adobe Acrobat products are insufficient to the task.

    If you want to scan documents, treat them with OCR, and then convert the results to other formats - for example Word, RTF, etc. - to be edited by hand, then Adobe products can be used. However, just at how they perform this task is outside my experience and is beyond the scope of my original question.

  • Texts are too strong

    Hello, when I use Mozilla, search Web sites small-time. Because the texts are in default appearing too strong, I turned off as a TYPE-SPECIFIC Windows option. Chrome is OK. But why Mozilla always has this feature? How to fix?

    The text of the anti-aliasing in Firefox works better with hardware acceleration enabled. If you visit the support information page, you can see if Firefox currently uses hardware acceleration. You can open it only by using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    Scroll up to the graphic header and then in the following table, there is a line indicating the number of windows accelerated on the total number of open windows ("GPU accelerated Windows"). Which indicates that Firefox is accelerating all the windows?

    If hardware acceleration is not the case, this could be for these reasons:

    (1) Firefox needs you to update your software driver graphics card/chipset. See: update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.

    (2) even if you have the latest version of the driver software, there is a known issue, so it is temporarily locked in this version of Firefox.

    (3) you disabled hardware acceleration, perhaps for troubleshooting.

    None of this seems not to apply to your Firefox?

  • How can you change a text in an image?

    How can you change a text in an image?

    Hi Jasper,.

    It depends on how the text has been staged, and what has been done with the image after that.

    A quick test - what happens when you zoom in on, or enlarge the image?

    If the text retains its edges when amplified, then it can probably be edited separately from the image. If the text begins to show pixelation on the edges (like the picture), then there is no text to change, what looks like adding text is actually part of the image and can only be changed in the same way that you can change anywhere in the image.

    Here is an example:

    The photo is a photo (jpeg format), inserted in a Pages document created with the essay template. White text in the upper left corner of the photo is placed in a text box. To put the photo on this page (and the text on and around it) has been converted to a PNG file. When it is enlarged on this screen, the text finally a pixelated image...

    .. .the easily noticed in the thin relates diagonal 'o'.

    In Pages, however, the text and the picture are separated, and the text is a vector image - mathematically trained and scalable.

    The text here is contained in a text box and the text box was grouped with the photo. To change the text (in Pages), I need to:

    • Click on the text.
      Handles will appear in the corners of the selection.
      That click you select either the entire image OR just simply the text box.
      • IF the handles are blue x characters, the selection is locked
        Go organize (menu) > Unlock
        Sectionals unlocked handles are small white squares.
    • IF the selection includes the entire image
      • Go to the menu, rearrange and choose ungroup
        If the choice to separate is not available, the text may be part of the image and uneditable as text.
        Try to click twice (separated from the clicks, not double click).
        If the insertion point (|) is now in the text, the text is editable as text.
        Change the text.
    • IF the selection looks like a text box and does not the whole image
      • Click on the text to place the insertion point (]) in the text
        Change the text.

    Image showing the insertion point in the text in a text box on the image:

  • How to combine (c) and (g) all [WINDOWS 8]

    my friend made a new volume (G and I still use it, my laptop started getting too slow and noticed that (C a 15.5 GB left 220 GB (this is not the system), so I wanted to know how to combine (G [not a 220 GB not used] with (C.))))

    Hi omar1231,

    Welcome to the community of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I see that you want to combine the two discs, and I'll be happy to help you. There are two ways to do this. A method requires you to purchase software to partition and comb the volumes in this way. It would be a third-party software, so I can't really recommend a particular program.

    The second method uses Disk Management, which is part of your operating system. Search for disk management and you will see happen 'Create and format hard disk partitions. Which will open the disk management. Now this method will not work unless the partitions are side by side. So if you have a partition recovery or tools or another partition between C and G, it does not. If they are side by side you can right click on the volume of G and select delete the Volume, which removes the volume but not the partition. Right click again and Delete Partition. Then on the C volume, do a right click and select Extend Volume and follow the instructions.

    Thank you
