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?.

Oh, let me add that Command/Control-r is the standard tool to show rulers in just about all adobe software. Likewise, just about all of them have these guides that you can pull down to align parts of items in the document. Never thought to even look for them in Acrobat but I can see them being very handy for verifying any skewing of the text (or aligning items after going into Edit mode where everything becomes objects.


If the PDF file in question is already Scanned into the Computer- then can I do the complete Optimization *without the file remaining on the Scanner glass? (as the Scanner must be still powered "on", however). Please confirm this?

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?
