Japanese OCR

[jody_c92395140]

I have been using Adobe Acrobat to turn Japanese language .pdf documents into searchable text. This often results in errors since the ocr function fails to recognize furigana or or "ruby"--which refers to the small font explanatory script either on top of or to the left of Japanese characters. Is there a setting or tool I can use to eliminate these errors?

Hello JodyC,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused and for the delayed response. Please navigate to Enhance Scan> Recognize Text> Click on the Gear sign for Settings> From the Output tab, change/select the option Editable Text and Images>Click Ok, and run the Recognize Text and see if this brings any difference.

Sometimes if the document is below 250 DPI, the OCR results in errors. If the issue still persists, is it possible to share a screenshot of the error you get? To share the screenshot refer to https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-7043#jive_content_id_How_do_I_attach_a_screenshot
