Very low quality after using OCR

[Guest]

Hello,

I am using OCR in a couple of documents which have tables I want to export to an excel document. The issue is that the letters after using OCR, are hardly legible. Hence, the text is not well detected and I can´t reply it on the excel document.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Hugo Hernández

Please let me know if issue persists.

Hi Rahul,

I don´t have the original documents (paper), only the pdf documents.

I have the very same problem. I have a scanned pdf document with good readable letters. After OCR using Acrobat, the text is totally unreadable. It seems to me, that if OCR is applied, the graphics get downscaled for any reason. Why? The fact that the filesize is only half of the oiriginal after using OCR only strenghtens my hypothesis.

Acutally, this problem occurs just in _some_ documents. Nevertheless this is a major problem for me.

As my document is not confidental, I could send it to the support.
