Question

Why does OCR not appear to work on parts of my document?

Answer:

Because OCR is a complex conversion that relies on consuming recognizable text, certain document characteristics may degrade the quality of optical character recognition output. For example, the following conditions may impair OCR quality:

  • A dark colored background
  • A source document with multiple languages
  • A rotated source document
  • Scanning under light conditions that are too bright or dark
  • A network connection and an Adobe Document Cloud connection is required
