Following initial installation of Acrobat 8, when I attempted to select text in a scanned PDF, Acrobat produced a popup asking whether I wanted to run OCR as described in the Help files:-

"Note: If you try to select text in a scanned PDF that does not have OCR applied, or try to perform a Read Out Loud operation on an image file, Acrobat asks if you want to run OCR. "

Unfortunately on one of these occasions I clicked the box "Do not show this again" and true to my selection Acrobat has never shown the popup since. However, I now want to reactivate the popup again but can't find where to do so.

Could anyone please help with instructions on how to get this popup back?

Thanks.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1, Windows

Hi,

Go to Edit menu (Acrobat menu on a Mac) : Preferences : General : Reset all warnings (button).
