That’s quite easily done in ExactScan Capture, but for Image Capture it’s best to calibrate the scanner, or switch to the Text mode. If you are using Acrobat 8, Id recommend that you scan your text directly from the software. When I scan a book page (with white background), if in the scan preview the background is not white but gray, I’ll adjust scanner settings to produce a white background.

I prefer the ExactScan Capture mode to Image Capture for this scanner, and get high-contrast, easily readable text with the settings I use. Optical character recognition (OCR) is a powerful tool that software such as Adobe Acrobat uses to convert letters and symbols in PDF documents into editable text. I also have a CanoScan LIDE 500F flatbed scanner, which I use to copy bound material (books and journals). The Best setting for the ScanSnap provides 300 dpi resolution for color, with high contrast in the text areas. The Automatic Color detection setting of the ScanSnap treats pages without color content as B & W, and shifts to a lower-resolution mode including color if a page has color content. I usually set these at 150 to 200 dpi and 75% image quality and find the results quite readable and with acceptable print quality.įor copy that’s primarily text, I usually use Black & White scanner settings. The default setting is a compromise between view/print quality and file size, 150 dpi and 50% image quality. (Perhaps one of these days Apple will optimize image layer production.)ĭTPO Preferences > OCR provides user-modifiable options to control the final resolution and image quality of ABBY-OCRd searchable PDFs. Because OS X rasterization isn’t as file-size efficient as Adobe’s, the resulting file size is larger for searchable PDFs produced by ABBYY.

It is true that Acrobat uses its own proprietary code to produce the image layer of searchable PDFs, whereas ABBYY uses the code built into OS X.

I’ve also tried ReadIRIS Pro 12, and find that ABBYY produces consistently more accurate results. Overall, I find the text recognition accuracy of ABBYY OCR better than that of Acrobat OCR, sometimes significantly better. I’ve run the same original PDFs through OCR with both Acrobat and DTPO’s ABBYY OCR. I’ve experimented with a variety of copy, including color content and a variety of fonts and font sizes. Most of my scans are done using a ScanSnap S500M.

I have read various reports that this is intentional to prevent taking work away fromĪdobe’s more expensive products which are specifically geared for fully scripted activities.

I have tried to Applescript the whole process, but Acrobat 8 Professional is not fully scriptable So, the batch process spits out files into a separate folder & I drag these processed files into DTPO. (Note that this is an Abbyy problem, not DTPO, but Devonthink don’t want to know about it.) Most importantly, bitmapped (1-bit black & white) images stay bitmapped & are usually less than 50kb/page at good quality, whereas DTPO changes these to greyscale, decreasing the image quality & increasing the file size. I then have a batch process in Acrobat 8 Professional than processes these by doing an OCR (Exact) then downsampling to a lower resolution at higher compression. I don’t have a way to do what you want exactly, but I have a workflow that uses my ScanSnap to scan into a temporary folder. They have repeatedly said in other forum threads that OCR to them is a “black hole”, ie, they pass the PDF to Abbyy & take whatever is spit out. Return to Guidelines for Accessible Instructional Materials.Cameron, I agree with you. This site provides details on adding alt text to images, setting the reading order, and tagging the document to be accessible by screen readers.

The document can now be read by text-to-speech programs and is fully searchable.įor specific instructions visit Adobe’s Accessibility Checker.

Failure to do so will interfere with the reading order. Select the text boxes in the left margin and delete them. If/when the document contains text, text boxes will appear. This extension would be very useful to me personally. Adobe, please let us know when you have applied the patch.

The converter works in Internet Explorer but not Chrome. If the document is an image, Acrobat with automatically perform optical character recognition. Adobe Acrobat and Reader are great, but this extension needs to be fixed.

Open the document in Adobe Acrobat Pro.

If you scanned the documents elsewhere, or are unsure, you can quickly check the document in Adobe Acrobat Pro. At Bryn Mawr, Canon multifunction copiers are set to convert the image for optical character recognition so the document is searchable and readable. Typically, scanning a document on a photocopier or flatbeds scanner results in a scanned image, not text.
