I have a scanned document with white text on a black background and some black text on white background.
The OCR skips the white image text but converts the black image text to editable text.
How does one get the OCR to conver both white and black image text to editable text?

Do you have good contrast in your scan?

I thought white type recognition worked, as long as you have a nice solid black and clean white. If that's not the case, a work-around would be to open the scan in Photoshop, make a selection around the white type areas and go to File> Adjustments> Invert, save, then OCR in Acrobat.

Unfortunately, not always. White letters on dark blue are not captured.

You could change the dark blue to black using a preflight profile, here is a link to a related discussion:

This worked - I inverted the colors in Photoshop and Adobe was able to recognize the text - thanks! 🙂
