Can Acrobate Pro Automatically Clean Up Old Photocopies?

I have several hundred old photocopies that I want to scan and include in a book.

I was wondering if Acrobate Pro (or another Adobe product) has a filter to automatically clean up artifacts, shadows, creases, etc.

Like I said, there are hundred of pages. I have time to do the scanning, but I don't have time to clean up each individual page manually.

I have not purchased Acrobat Pro yet because I haven't been able to confirm that it has at least some of these capabilities.

Thanks!

Hi @Michael384494583qwd

Give Adobe Scan a try: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/adobescan/ios/en/modify.html with some pages, and let us know how it works for you.

No. Use Photoshop (or a similar image editing application) for that.

try67 is correct.

There are some other options that might work for you, particularly if you don't want to open individual images in Photoshop. Note, you can easily place a multi-page pdf into InDesign using a script that is included with InDesign.
