As is stated above, this topic is a submission for a feature change. I request that OCR have the option to be disabled. It's pretty straightforward what I am asking here, the purpose is to address those who do not benefit from said feature, but it is currently always on.

Feature settings are hidden within the feature instead of in the preferences window, I also request that all settings for tools, also be located in the preferences window.

Hi,

This is one of the core features of Acrobat however you can visit this link to request a feature here - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Hello, do not know if I am now here in the right forum?
I would like to disable the annoying Scan + OCR function. This bothers me in my work, while I work forms. I currently have the latest Acrobat Pro DC.

Greetings Andreas

You can disable it in the preferences of Acrobat.

Sorry if you feel I've wasted your time. I would have posted a link, but the previous reply had already done so. Posting two links could waste your time because you might wish to compare them.  I emphasised this point because your reply did not make it clear whether you intended to do repost, or whether you assumed that hearing from Adobe staff meant you had done all you needed for feature requests. Any organisation the size of Adobe is a bureaucracy.

It seems odd to me that a core function would alter the original text I had inputted, that defeats its purpose.

A reasonable suggestion, please do post it in the right place. Putting it in the normal forum with "Official Request" in the subject won't make it an official request! Bureaucracies like their procedures.

Be sure to include more and specific reasons why this is bad for you. It's hard for developers who've spend their time creating and promoting a new feature for months to see anything but the positive side.
