Perform an OCR on a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC | Pixascene

This video will walk you through the process of performing OCR on your PDF document (Optical Character Recognition). It is a technology that allows you to convert images of text into editable and searchable text. This is helpful when you have a PDF document that was created using an image (either via scanning or with a digital camera), and you would like to search, copy, or edit the text within the document.

What if the PDF is a vector CAD drawing with small text. Unfortunetly there seems to be no fix for this in Acrobat. When it conversts the drawing to a bitmap to then do the OCR the dpi (600dpi) is too low and it can not read most of the text. Maybe there is a way to override the dpi used in the Acrobat Recognize Text OCR function.

How to convert photos to OCR as a group using Google Drive? because only one photo is converted to text at each step (through conversion by Google Doc).

I accidentally clicked on "do not show this message again" and now ctrl + f doesn't work anymore to activate ocr. Can I get it back? I miss it so much 😭

i was hoping to find a tutorial for ocr on iphone or ipad. the menu for the windows version is nice, but i would really appreciate a tutorial specific to Apple iOS either iphone or ipad. the interface on iOS is really counter intuitive to me.
