Scanning and OCR

Agenda

The enhanced one-stop scanning features in Acrobat 9 let you scan a text document and perform text recognition with Acrobat’s built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to convert the scan into a searchable PDF file.

Learn how to:
• Capture searchable PDF documents from a scanner
• Making an image of a document searchable
• Convert a scanned document using ClearScan
• Perform OCR text recognition on multiple scanned documents
