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 did miss that. I've NEVER encountered that with any version of Acrobat. However, keep in mind I NEVER scan through Acrobat because then I have to use Apple's "Image Capture," a major piece of junk. I scan with SilverFast (v.8) directly with my Epson V800. I save the TIFFs into a folder on my desktop and then run them through Acrobat for conversation into PDFs.

I was just scanning past messages we've had and it appears I didn't add a link to a blog I wrote that kinda relates to this: Scanning Clean, Searchable PDFs

Not sure how much of this can help you but it might help a bit.

As a reminder, I'm about to go on holiday for several weeks so my ability to get to these pages to provide help will be limited. So for these next few weeks, I do wish you best of luck on your scanning.


The original page on the Scanner must remain there if the individual is making different shading varieties of that same file.  If it is removed, the result will be a total blank end-result. That was my earlier question that you failed to respond to.

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?
