Hello people-who-are-smarter-than-I,
I have done a significant amount of searching here, but I can't seem to get the answer I need.
Using: Adobe Acrobat X Pro
When clicking "Recognize Text>In this File" I get the error that Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) or this page because:
This page contains renderable text
It seems the only way possible for me to convert a 35 page all text word document in to a text searchable PDF:
Create the PDF, then convert to TIFF, THEN OCR again.
This makes this document grainy, the logos are pixilated and this looks like garbage!
There has to be a cleaner solution that I just haven't found yet.
Please help me? Please?

How exactly and specifically was the PDF created?Printing to the Acrobat Printer, using PDF Maker in MS Office and processing a PS file type through distiller all create a text search-able PDF.
Exporting to PDF from OpenOffice.org also creates a searchable PDF.
Can you post a link to a sample file?
Open the Adobe JavaScript console and run the following code:
var cnt=0;
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
cnt += getPageNumWords(p);
console.println("There are " + cnt + " words in this doc.");

Here is a link to the sample document. It is produced in Word. (click Download Now to open the document) http://www.4shared.com/document/DQ8tKIwG/ADV_Part_2A_5_16_11_Final__2_.php
I have tried print PDF'ing with both Adobe and CutePDF, then opening in Acrobat X. Same error message.
I have tried uploading and creating it in Acrobat from the raw Word doc. Same error message.
Thanks again.

Both the "Convert PDF" and printing from MS Word using the Adobe PDF printer create a search-able PDF.
Exactly what is the wording of the error you are getting?
There are thousands of error messages, so saying an error message is of absolutely no help.

Have you tried to perform a search using Acrobat's "Find", + "F", command?The message means the PDF is has text and can not be processed through the OCR process.
