Convert Scanned pdf with text (image version) to an editable PDF (PDF>>PDF) using Acrobat Pro DC

This should be straightforward, I just cannot find it. Hopefully it's just a command I haven't found. Appreciate any help!!

Hi Sara,

OK, you have a PDF that is currently not searchable, correct? Good news, it is simple but you need to know where to look.

Go to the Scan & OCR Tools (if it's not on the right hand column that go find it in the Tools Section).

Next, select from the dropdown menu your needs:

But you're not done yet. After selecting your choice, then tap the Recognize Text button. Then sit back while the work commences.

Good luck!
