Are you seeing any type of message in the Document Message Bar in these scanned documents? I’m wondering if ‘Make PDF/A” was accidently turned on. If so, try enabling editing in the message bar.
Thanks,
Lori

The “In This File” and “In Mulitple Files” options under the Recognize Text tool are greyed out, thus not allowing me to make a searchable PDF. The document was scanned into a PDF with my scanner. It is located on my desktop (local) and it is not secured. Do you know why the options are greyed out?
I appreciate any help you could give in this regard. Thank you.
Michael

The tool heading is Text Recognition, and you should find it under the Tools panel’s dropdown menu, or by choosing View > Tools > Text Recognition.

First of all, I hope you’re referring to Acrobat, since Adobe is the entire company, and I can’t speak to that ;)
Metadata gets taken with other document contents when you convert to PDF. Once you have the document open in Acrobat, there are a few ways to remove the metadata.
Open the Tools pane, then choose Protection tools from the menu at the far right of the pane. Once that set of tools displays, you’ll find options to handle Hidden Information, which includes metadata.
