Procedure for cleaning and optimizing a scanned page (re-building a book)

[creativec11527563]

Hi Everybody,

I have to scan an old book in order to obtain a readable pdf. I do all the scans, page by page, but the result is always not good enough for me.

Sometimes the page is dirty (it presents black spots, darker areas etc., missing words), sometimes it's not perfectly centred on its XY axis.

Can anyone help me using Acrobat Pro to make a decent job? Is there a step by step guide to this kind of job?

Thanx

Vince
