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?.

    If you use Acrobat Pro DC Version (currently), then you can use the Ctrl + 'R' keys to bring up a Straightening/Diagnostic Tool for both the horizontal & vertical straightness. Just refer to the 11:48 reply for instructions. Have you ever used it previously? (on either X or DC Versions) It must be dragged down for the Horizontal aspect or from left to right for the Vertical aspect. Or, you are welcome to try it out initially (if you've never used it previously).


    Hi RD2,

    A) that's good to know, I never knew it was there. But,

    B) I've never had a need for it as Acrobat de-skews as part of the OCR process. (that is an option that should be on (default) but if not, you can see where it's located on Acro-DC in my screenshot above).

    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?
