Text wird nicht erkannt / Text won't be recognized

Liebe Community,

wir haben Dateien in Photoshop erstellt, deren Texte als PDFs mit Acrobat von Photoshop-Laien bearbeitbar sein soll. Wenn man in Acrobat die PDF dann also bearbeiten will, verwandelt sie manche Texte aber in Bilder! Woran liegt das? Der Text ist ganz klar lesbar... Gibt es eine Einstellung, in Acrobat oder gerne auch in Photoshop, die das Problem lösen könnte?

Ich freue mich auf eure Hilfe!

Liebe Grüße

Dear Community,

We have created files in Photoshop that contain texts that should be editable as PDFs with Acrobat by Photoshop non-experts. However, when we try to edit the PDF in Acrobat, some of the texts turn into images! Why is that? The text is clearly legible... Is there a setting in Acrobat or in Photoshop that could solve the problem?

I look forward to your help!

Kind regards
Anke

Hi Anke,

Your document has a number of "trip-points" for searchable text. I'm assuming that you saved it as a Photoshop PDF. However, some of the text was locked into images, or something like that, preventing that text from remaining text and becoming an image. Overall, I'm not fully sure of how that document was assembled. (And thank you for including that in your question.)

When I tried to OCR your document, it stumbled on "suchen," and completely failed on the "Jetzt… script text"

Several things here: It is not a good idea to expect editing by Acrobat as part of a process. While one "CAN" edit within Acrobat to a limited degree, Acrobat is NOT a page layout or a word processing application. This is probably one of the most common issues that we have to remind folks about in these forums. If you need to change the wording for this document, the best and most efficient way to do this is to maintain a master copy in the format that it was created in (in this case, Photoshop). Then, as needed, make the appropriate copies as separate documents and save them as PDFs, leaving the original untouched. 

I'm sorry that your original idea is not recommended, but you've discovered why.

Good luck
