PDF file needs to be scanned on my desk

Greetings,

I have a PDF file that is already created on my desktop. is there a way I can scan without having to print first and then analyze the printed version?

Thanks for any help.

I have MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.5

Appreciate any help.

Warmly and gratefully.

Harvey

Hello

You already have a soft copy why do you need to start a new search? I can't work on the rationale. If you want to test your printer, you need to print and scan then because to be able to scan, you need something on the glass.

Kind regards.

  • Scan multiple pages to a pdf file using Windows Fax & Scan and a Brother MFC-7420 8

    When I try a new scan with the charger (one side of scan) selected, the scanner makes each page in a separate file which is read by the photo rather than Adobe software.  In addition, the Brother scanner has been reset so that it will no longer scan multiple pages into a single file using my brother responsible program in my old computer with Windows 7.  How can I back to simple B & W scan multiple pages into a single Adobe pdf?  Thank you

    Hello Norman,

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps:

    Scanning from the charger:

    Step 1: Click on the 'Start' button on your desktop and type 'brother' in the search field. Point to the name of your MFC and select "ControlCenterx" (where "x" is a number one digit) to load the ControlCenter application in the system tray to the left of the clock on your taskbar. Double-click the "ControlCenter" icon in the system tray.

    Step 2: Click on "Configuration" and select "Scan". Select 'File' as the type of scan to open the scan to the Configuration window.

    Step 3: Go to the 'Touch' tab and choose "PDF (*.)" (PDF),"" # no multi-page Tiff compressed (*.) " (TIF)"or" # Tablet multi-page Tiff (*.) " (TIF)"under File Types, as these types of files allow analyses of several pages.

    Step 4: Place the entire document in the ADF on the scanner and press the button "Scan" of the machine. Press the 'Arrow' key to select 'File' and press 'OK '. Press the button 'Start' to scan to a single document.

    Scan of the glass:

    Step 1: Lift the cover of the document on the Brother MFC, place the first page face down on the glass and close the lid.

    Step 2: Click the 'Start' button on the computer and in the search box, type "scansoft. "ScanSoft PaperPort" and select "PaperPort."

    Step 3: Select the Brother MFC as the scanner, and then select a profile, such as "B & W Document". Click on "search".

    Step 4: Remove the glass on the first page after that latter was analyzed and place the second page on the glass. Close the lid and click the button "Scan more Pages.

    Step 5: Browse all pages in the document one at a time. When you are finished, click the Finish"" button.

  • 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.

  • IE9 asks to save or open pdf files

    Hello

    I don't know if it of a problem or not.

    At present, when a website (using IE9) and I click here to download a pdf file, the bar shows gold/white IE9 running security analysis, then the pdf just opens in the version current/updated to adobe reader I installed on my PC (I not adobe reader should open in your browser). Therefore, sounds good, because the analysis runs, the pdf file opens and I can save it from the disc in the adobe reader software.

    However, when you click on the PDF in the first place, in the Web page I go to, I was wondering if the download in IE9 bar should be asking me if I want to open or save the pdf file. The bar and I wonder if I want to save or open .exe downloads, as would be expected, it just does not appear for the pdf files. Also, once the pdf file is downloaded and opened, nothing appears in the download area of view (but not .exe, if it works for these objects).

    Therefore:

    -should the IE9 bar be asking me if I want to open or save the pdf file.

    - and if it should, how do I ask questions?

    Someone at - it ideas please?

    Cheers.

    PS I have since reset IE9 in all accounts and restarted but the problem persists.

    PPS I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the IE9 and Adobe Reader, but the problem remains. However, something is strange.

    After both uninstall and reboot, I reinstalled IE9 on its own (not Adobe Reader). Then I tried to download a pdf file and the bar of gold/white in IE9 worked perfectly - he asked if I wanted to open or save the pdf file and ran the scan of security as intended - ideal.

    However, I then reinstalled Adobe Reader and the problem came back. When you download a pdf file, the gold/white bar appeared, but showing no sweep only, no application to open or save the pdf file.

    Therefore, the question is why IE9 allows Adobe reader to bypass open it or save the request, when in the help files IE9 it clearly shows a picture of handling pdf Download Manager, which suggest opening or saving would have been selected? So, how can I IE9 to ask me if I want to open or save again and stop Adobe to do what he does?

    You could try posting over at Adobe.

    I no longer seem to highlight and copy the text from a pdf file, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view PDF files.

  • Convert pdf files to doc in Cyrillic

    I have a pdf file in Russian Cyrillic text I want to convert a word document. Cyrillic text is not one of the options.

    Hi graymac,

    You are right, that the Russia is not one of the supported languages for the ROC to export to PDF or PDF Pack. However, it is available for OCR in Acrobat if you work with a PDF file created from a scanned document. If you do not have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. To perform OCR in Acrobat, you choose optimize scanned Document, select make Searcable (apply OCR), then click on change to choose from Russia.

  • How to reduce the size of the PDF file on scanned on my PMX922 docs

    I deal with a lot of documents, and I find that when I scan the docs on my MX922 the size of the PDF file is MUCH larger that the size of the original PDF file. That's what I see (on a document page 2):

    (Received) original size: 11 k

    Default scan (Quick Menu): 1061 k

    With compression high (Quick Menu): 116 k

    The Panel of the printer (res 150): 209 k

    Windows scanning app (150 res): 1495 k

    Scanning from the Quick Menu with high Compression seems to be the best, but it still somewhat adds to the file size. It's a big problem so I dal with many GREAT docs. Several times the size of the file increase prevents me from being able to send files. Is there anything else I can do? Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi 1wwjdbro,
