I have Acrobat Standard DC. Program specifically states that it can edit scanned documents. The error that I receive when trying to edit scanned PDF's is "Adobe Acrobat has detected that this page doesn't have editable text. If it is a scanned page, convert it another format using the Export PDF tool." I am opening the file through Acrobat DC. The "workaround" did not work for me in this instance. Advice?

You need to run Text Recognition on it first.

Doesn't the program automatically run OCR when I click Edit?

I don't believe so, no.

Hi Brett Hall,

You are using Acrobat Standard DC. The feature of automatically editing scanned documents is available only on Acrobat Pro DC. For more information, visit Product Comparison | Adobe Acrobat DC​.
