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?.

    Waiting for a returned reply on more than one issue?


    Hi RD2,

    Please be aware that I do not work for Adobe and I only help on the forums as part of my activities with the ACP program. If I've not been adequately quick to respond it's because I was doing things around the house.

    Meanwhile, let me see if I can help with your new questions:

    Because I'm using Acrobat DC I cannot provide screenshots of what to do in Acrobat X. One of the frustrating things about Acrobat is that Adobe really really really does not want more than one version of Acrobat on a computer at the same time. Some applications will not let you RUN two different versions, but here it's not allowed even ON the machine. So I apologize for not being able to provide a screenshot. Nonetheless I did used to use Acro X so I'm aware of a number of the features that it provided.

    Because of this I have to rely upon Adobe's PDF manual, you can download a copy here for free. Using Acrobat X Pro - Adobe Help Center

    What I was referring to in regards to OCR-ing a color document is that color text may be an issue. If there are color drop-shadows in the document that may also affect the quality of the OCR. If the color is artwork off to the side, than no, that will make no difference to the quality of the OCR.

    With your 11:48 response, I'm not sure I see a question there, sorry.

    With your 11:51 response, I do not believe it is necessary if the document has already been OCR-ed. I would test this: simply take the same document, make a copy, run it with that boxed checked and one with the box not checked. Do you notice a difference? I would assume that if the document was already OCR-ed, you would not notice a difference. However, if you were taking a scanned but not OCR-ed document, than yes, this should be checked.

    I hope I've helped some.

    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?
