I have to scan multi page documents into Acrobat. Some of the scans are not perfectly straight. Can I correct alignment in Acrobat? Can I clean up the scan by erasing hole punches and dark spots?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

When you use the Recognize Text Using OCR command your scans will straighten in Acrobat up to a 14 degree rotation. If you scan images, it's best to scan in a program like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements where you can straighten the documents before saving as a PDF document.
