I still did not see this feature on the OCR Scanning box located within the Optimized PDF box.  I need better communication to properly direct me on this request?  If necessary, please provide me a Screenshot, ok?

    I asked a recent additional question from your reply and Dell Technician Support provided me the correct reply here-

    OPTION 1 (*only Monochrome docs.)

    Tools at top right, Document Processing, Optimize Scanned PDF, Filters> click ‘Edit’, OK, & OK.

    OPTION 2 (*includes Color & B/W docs.)

    Create at top, PDF from Scanner, Custom Scan, Doc. Settings> click ‘Options’-edit, OK, & Scan.

    COMPLETED!!!

    THANK YOU!

    RE: OPTIMIZATION OF PDF FILES (cont.)

    I just thought if you have an extra PDF file to test with & go to 'Create' at the top left> PDF from Scanner> Custom Scan> Document Settings> Options> Optimization Options> ck. box.

    QUESTION:

    Is the checked box absolutely necessary to get this to work? (because I had complete failures with the unchecked box- even though the Filters Section were all (4) activated). Reply?.

    HI rd2,

    Sorry, I try to follow this particular forum in Adobe forums but I was on holiday, you've gone through quite a lot!

    First, to answer your question, here is a screenshot of the Optimize Scanned PDF options in Acro DC:

    Now, to your main issue, here are some thoughts: OCR-ing works best on 2 bit things: black and white. In addition, the higher the resolution the better the results. When you add color, you are effectively adding "anti-aliasing" to the mix and that can throw off Acrobat's ability to see both the text for OCR-ing and for "seeing" where the text lines are.

    [IMPORTANT: do not scan into 2-bit unless you have very very high resolution, otherwise scan into 8-bit (for black and white, 24-bit for color, but see below).

    Here's where you need to make choices: do you want color (and perhaps lose the deskewing capability and decrease OCR quality) or B&W to (hopefully) have deskewing and better OCR? From what I read above, it seems that you have already made the choice you needed.

    Please let us know if any of this helps you.


    Waiting for a returned reply on more than one issue?

    Hi,

    As per the issue description mentioned above you are unable to locate optimize scanned pdf settings when trying to create pdf from a scanner, is that correct?

    Please try following steps:

    Launch Acrobat > click Create > PDF from scanner > Configure presets.

    Click "Options" under document settings.

    Let us know if you need any further help.

      RE: FILTERS

      Now I see there are two different locations for the Optimizing Scanned PDF (one on the right side under Tools, then Document Processing AND the other location under 'Create' at very top left corner. If the two locations work exactly the same and if I use any Color shading on the Epson Scan (Workforce 310 Model), I have noticed that the Deskew filter will not work on any Color Shading selections. Perhaps the other Filters options will not work on "Colors" also. What is the correct solution for this issue?
