Import old scanned PDFs for OCR

i have old documents that were scanned and saved as PDFs I would like to import them and scan them so they could be searchable.  But the best I can see is to take screen prints one page at a time. Really?

What am I missing?

Hi Crslack,

We apologize for the delay in response.

Is that a multiple page document that you were trying to access using the Adobe Scan app?

Hope you have referred to the help document- Working with Scanned Documents — Adobe Scan Help ? Check the help document and see if you have followed the correct method.

Hope this will help.

Regards,

Hi Crslack,

In case, if you are referring to the scanned PDF files that are saved to other location, it is not possible to open/import those files in the Adobe Scan application.

You will be able to view only the PDFs created in Adobe Scan app.

Hope this answers your query.
