How do I set up OCR in Acrobate to recognize text line by line?

[nitsu26]

Hi,

I use Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I scan documents where I need to use OCR built into Acrobat. Some text items are far apart, so OCR recognizes text column by column, not line by line. E.g. the text "Date of issue: 01.01.2020" is printed "Date of issue:                                                          01.01.2020 "
How do I set up OCR in Acrobate to recognize text line by line?

Thanks

Example:

SOURCE/SCAN

Dátum dodania:                                                  30.06.2020
Dátum vystavenia:                                             30.06.2020
Dátum splatnosti:                                               14.07.2020

*.TXT AFTER OCR

Dátum dodania:
Dátum vystavenia:
Dátum splatnosti:

30.06.2020
30.06.2020
14.07.2020

Not possible.

Try is correct, what you're wanting to do is not possible.

However, what is your end objective. How would you be using what you want? There "may" be a workaround.

I would like to get thisform:

Dátum dodania: 30.06.2020
Dátum vystavenia: 30.06.2020
Dátum splatnosti: 14.07.2020

As Try said, it's not possible.
