Hi, @Vladraconis, as I said back in 2020, earlier in this thread   "If you really, really, really want to edit the content of a page to the degree that you want, you'll have to go to the original page creation program that made it. If you want to change a word here or there, you can do that with Acrobat."   In the time that has passed since I wrote that, not much has changed in editing PDF documents. I'm not a programmer, and I do not work for Adobe. I try to help people in these forums. When a document is converted into a PDF, each text block (paragraph) is unique to any other. So, when you have that gap between paragraphs (such as what you see on this page), bridging that gap in a PDF is a big issue. I do not know why, but that's always been an issue.   If you still have Microsoft 365, open your original document and edit it. If you do not have your original document, export your PDF into Word, open it in Word, make your changes, and then resave it as a new PDF. That's what I and everyone else who tries to help folks in these forums do.    In a perfect world, Acrobat would be a word processor, page layout application, spreadsheet creator, computer-assisted document creator, and everything else that can be turned into a PDF. Until that time, we all have to work with what we've got.    I'm sorry, ... View more

Depending on the document and how it was scanned, probably not in Acrobat.    The BEST time to make adjustments in the scanned document is at the time of the scan. If you place the document in the scanner and click the "Scan" button, the scanner has no idea what it's doing. Also, depending on the model of the scanner and what the default provides, you are at the mercy of whoever set any defaults.    The safest way to get past this is to do the adjustments yourself at the time of the scan. Here is a blog I wrote for Adobe a number of years ago that covers most of the issues.   Best, and good luck!   https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-community-professionals/scanning-clean-searchable-pdfs/m-p/4785435?page=1#M89 ...

Hi, @Haggi Hug, if you were able to access a server and/or a NAS, you were lucky. Bridge was never designed to work with either, and any success is hit or miss. From the get-go, Bridge was designed to work on local drives, period. That focus has not changed and is not likely to be in the future. Since I am not using either (server or NAS), I cannot address any change in exporting matching folders.   As far as controlling where files are delivered, if you're on a Mac, I can STRONGLY recommend Default Folder. I've been using (and depending) on this 3rd party software for almost 20 years, and find it vital for controlling the location of my files. ... View more

OK, now I understand. When you stated the PathBar was black, I thought you were seeing something like this:  And if so, that would be very serious! (LOL) I'm glad to see that it's something completely different.   OK, so you want the PathBar to "appear" like it can be edited. I am not a Windows user, and I have no clue how it appears on a Windows system. I'll take your word for that.   However, this is not the place for you to make requests and suggestions for how Bridge works or could work. These forums are for folks having issues with how things can be done or getting out of holes when things are not working right. I suggest you go over to <https://adobebridge.uservoice.com/>. There, you can make suggestions such as this: I recommend that you clearly spell out what you want and why it can help you and others. Be aware that there are hundreds of suggestions, and fewer will ever see the light of day. So, be very clear in your explanation.    Meanwhile, I suggest you pass on to your coworkers how to click on the PathBar to make edits. That will help you/them now.  Good luck! ... View more

Hi, @cedric.diggory, in a word, no, and a little bit of yes.    The easiest way for you to do this is not with a magic wand but with a checkbook and have someone else do it (and no, I have no suggestions for you to do this).   Here's the deal: There is no known way to turn handwritten notes into accurate text. With typewritten notes, that is much easier, but accuracy is not 100% due to the quality of the typewriter (which can vary). (Personal note: my mom typed out a bunch of family history. I wanted to capture this, so I scanned and OCRed it. But, due to her poor typing and the sad fact that the platin kept on slipping (causing the lines of text to slant), there were sections where it was easier and faster to retype. Unfortunately, just plan on retyping the handwritten sections.   Regarding storage in the clouds, that's easy: select a cloud service (such as DropBox) and store the contents up there.   The person doing this will have to do the translation from German into English (or English into German) as well as any conversion from metric into Imperial (or Imperial into metric). (Note: my wife does a lot of baking, and a number of cookbooks have been making those conversions as well. There are subtleties involved in this conversion to make things easier for the user.)   As far as indexing to find things. The first thing is to organize them: Baking is one section; dinner items are another, beef, pork, and chicken and subdivisions; stewing, roasting, and braising are more. Simply put, better organizing makes it much easier for most people to find things. Look at ANY cookbook and model the structure they have. There's a reason why cookbooks are all structured the same — it works.   If you bring all of your final results into an application such as InDesign, you can generate a Table of Contents and an Index. While not necessarily easy, it's much easier than creating a Table of Contents (only) in Acrobat.    I suggest that you break this up to make it a family process: After scanning and OCRing, convert the documents into MS Word so that they can easily be edited and corrected (this really needs to be done). Once processed, then they can be converted back into PDFs for posting. There does need to be one person doing the final assembly.   Sadly, this is not a "couple of clicks and it's done" project. Nonetheless, this will be a fabulous gift to your family and future generations.    A number of years ago, I wrote this blog on scanning for Adobe. It may give you some ideas and help.   https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-community-professionals/scanning-clean-searchable-pdfs/m-p/4785435?page=1#M89 ... View more

Hi, @e_c3, In all the years since CS2 with Bridge, v. 1, I have never seen nor heard of the PathBar as showing up as a black bar. And, while it is possible to "Edit" a PathBar, I can't think of too many users who know the "bird seed trail" of their computers well enough to use that as a standard approach to accessing desired folders. There are, after all, so many easier ways to get to what one wants.    Just out of curiosity, here is what I think of when the subject of PathBars comes up. Can you please share a screenshot of yours? Also, please let us know what your OS is (and what release) and which version of Bridge you are using (and what release).   Thank you   ... View more

That has to do with how thumbnails are laid out    If you have Horizontal, the thumbnails go on and on to the right ONLY and never wrap.

Yeah, I agree with Erik. I have occasionally taken a shot that "has issues," and a quick glance causes me to reject it. One of the things I've learned is to go back to my immediately rejected photos a day later and reconsider them. More often than not, they remain rejected. But, there is occasionally a photo or two that, upon reconsidering, are definitely keepers.   Besides, being able to recognize "less good" photos is part of the process of becoming a better photographer.   Nonetheless, if you really think that this would be valuable for you, this is the wrong place to suggest it. Take your request and post it on https://adobebridge.uservoice.com/    Also, be aware that Bridge is just a viewer with no "intelligence" built in. That is, there's no place for AI to function. Thus, it would be akin to asking an old cash register from the 1800s to provide a tax form. So, it's not likely to happen regardless of the merit.   Sorry, ... View more

Hi, @deepak2496, (sorry for the delay, but I was out back doing some gardening.)   There should be no need to download it again. I just did a search, and for reasons that boggle my mind, Adobe did not put that in with all of the other Photographic tools. I did find where they hid it when you all the "All Apps" that I have, it'll probably be similar.   Hopefully, what you see on the Photoshop apps is similar to what I see here. Click on the Apps tab (red circle), then click on the "All Apps" option (green oval). Finally, scroll down until you see Bridge (green round-cornered rectangle). Once you have that on your system, any updates will show in the Update options as well as any public Beta options.   Let me know if this works out for you.   ... View more

Hi, @pdaltonlaw, I do hear your pain.    From the beginning, Acrobat never has had a global correction. What I mean by that is if a word was misread multiple times, all the same way, there was nothing to click on to "repair all." Multiple requests for this have gone on dead ears. And, with all of the new AI features, none of that work seems to be aimed at auto-fixing the OCR process. Thus, simple things like hyphenated words are not joined. One of the potential risks of having AI fix Acrobat's OCR is to fix the original writing's grammar and spelling.   As far as fixing all of the previously OCRed documents, that would require an extensive amount of assisted work. As good as AI can be, it's still "stupid as "s#!t." A recent study showed that AI continued to be flummoxed by grade school word problems (train A leaves the station at …"). Meanwhile, as a user of Grammarly, I am always frustrated that it continues to want to fix my writing about the fact that I live in a green house, not a greenhouse. In addition, my word choices are often specific, and Grammarly always wants to rewrite my words into its "style."  As an attorney, I'm sure you can appreciate the potential calamity if such "fixing" were left on its own with many legal documents..    Nonetheless, the biggest issue that I've seen screw up OCR is poor original content and/or poor-quality scanning. For the former, if you have a document that is multiple generations of Xeroxing a faxed document, you will never get a good quality OCR. Likewise, if you have a clean document and do not do a good-quality scan, you will also add to your problems.    I wrote a bunch of scanning tips for Adobe a number of years ago. Perhaps some of these might give you some ideas to help your scanning. If you have any further questions, please ask.   https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-community-professionals/scanning-clean-searchable-pdfs/m-p/4785435?page=1#M89   Good luck ... View more

Hi, @mikef20898914 For reasons I do not know, "Comments" can be found using "Description." And yes, you do have to turn that on within Bridge.

Any option that is checked will show up in Bridge's "Get Info."   Scroll down until you see the IPTC (IIM legacy) section and check the box for Description.    Once checked, any content placed in the Explorer, Finder, PS, or Bridge will show up in the Metadata field.     Please let us know if this solves your problem.

Morning: one last example of how scanning provides better capabilities than photography (outside of speed), and this will focus (no pun intended) on photographs.   When I mentioned that I had photographed slides, it was because I had just under 10,000 slides that I wanted to digitize. I knew from the onset that I'd be dead before I finished scanning all of them, and, as I said, not all were keepers. So I photographed them all, and occasionally go back and scan the actual keepers. All of the images were tethered to Lightroom Classic.   [For my process, you can see this:  https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-community-professionals/digitizing-your-slides-by-photography/td-p/4785336]   Here is a shot I did of an old barn. (All images were "as scanned," and have no LRC adjustments.) Because my camera was a bit "tipped," I went into Transform, and it did this:  It's hard to see, but there is about a 2°–3° CW rotation.   I then scanned the image — noticed the colors and lighting were better.  Then, I again performed a Transform.   I wish I could tell you why the Scanned version can be adjusted via Transform, but the Photographed version cannot. I do not know.   When removing grain in an image, again, the Photographed version can hardly be touched in Photoshop, but (most) scanning software already has grain removal as part of its repertoire. (Although Topaz's noise removal does a decent job at grain.)   One last thing: I LOVE my Canon 7Dm2, but I look at the weight of the mirrorless and scratch my chin — longingly. ... View more
