Can you elaborate on the solution you found? Is it as simple as opening the pdf in Abbyy FineReader and choosing export? (I do not currently have Abbyy FineReader so I can't see for myself. I am deciding whether to purchase it for this specific reason as I have cleaned up hundreds of pages using the invisible OCR in Adobe, which I am currently unable to export cleanly). ... View more

I get the same error in word or in excel. I think the issue is that when I export, if I uncheck "recognize text if needed," the pdf is exported as images without any OCR. If I do check that box, the changes I made to the OCR in Adobe are lost as the OCR is redone and thus back to the original errors. I am new to Adobe so I may have made an error. I had a scanned document, used enhance, and then correct recognized text. In Adobe, the OCR is now correct. Any suggestions? ... View more

@Bernd Alheit I am having a similar issue, except OCR was done in Adobe DC. Essentially, I have been correcting the layer of OCR using the "correct recognized text" option. Because I am using a scan of an old document, the text of 76014 might have been OCR'd as "7B014." The scanned document is 1,000 pages so I have made numerous corrections like this. However, when I export the pdf, those changes to the OCR are not exported. Instead, the export would still show 7B014. If I select all in Adobe, I can copy and paste the corrected OCR. But is there a way to export the corrected OCR to xml? ... View more
