How to turn on automatic OCR?

[friedrichf82651902]

Hallo,

in der neuen Version wird beim Öffnen einer gescannten Datei nicht mehr gefragt, ob die PDF optimiert werden soll.

Diese Optimierung hatte das Bild zum einen gerade gerückt (falls der Scanner es schief eingezogen hat). Ebenso wurde die OCR-Erkennung durchgeführt.

Dieser Dialaog fehlt seit dem letzten Update. Weis jemand, ob und wie man die Abfrage beim Öffnen einer Datei wieder einstellen kann?

Vielen Dank & Gruß

Hello Friedrichf,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused, as per the description above, you want to turn on the OCR detection in a PDF, Is that correct?

To Turn on automatic OCR, in the right pane, select the Recognize text check box. From next time, Acrobat will automatically rin OCR and convert a scanned document to editable text.

You may also refer to the following doc Edit scanned PDFs, turn off automatic OCR, Adobe Acrobat

Let us know how it goes and share your findings.

Hello AnandiSri,

unfortunately, there is no "Recognize text check box" box in my Acrobat DC.

Under "Tools" / "Edit PDF" there is no point under the item "Scanned documents", please look at my screenshot.

Mouse click on "Auf Bild zurücksetzen" and you will see it.

Unfortunately, this is just the manual way to perform the OCR detection. But I want OCR recognition to happen automatically when the scanned file is opened again.

Open the document and use Tools > Edit PDF

I do that all the time.  Here, however, OCR recognition must always be performed manually. Until recently, OCR detection always started automatically.

I want to re-enable the automatic OCR recognition and not have to edit each PDF individually.
