Correcting words on converted pages
If you choose the PDF Formatted Text and Graphics format as the PDF Output Style,
Acrobat "reads" bitmaps of text and tries to substitute words and characters for the
bitmaps. When it isn't certain of a substitution, it marks the word as a suspect. Suspects
are shown in the PDF as the original bitmap of the word, but the text is included on an
invisible layer behind the bitmap of the word. This makes the word searchable even
though it is displayed as a bitmap. You can accept these suspects as they are, or you can
use the TouchUp Text tool
to correct them.
Note: You must convert your scanned page to formatted text and images before you can
correct suspect words.
To review and correct suspect words on converted pages:
1. Do one of the following:
● Choose Document > Recognize Text Using OCR > Find All OCR Suspects. All suspect
words on the page are enclosed in boxes. Click any suspect word to show the suspect text
in the Find Element dialog box.
● Choose Document > Recognize Text Using OCR > Find First OCR Suspect.
Note: If you close the Find Element window before correcting all suspect words, you can
return to the process by choosing Document > Recognize Text Using OCR > Find First
OCR Suspect, or by clicking any suspect word with the TouchUp Text tool.
2. Choose OCR Suspects from the Find menu, and click Find.
3. Compare the word in the Suspect text box with the actual word in the scanned document,
and do one of the following:
● To accept the word as correct, click Accept And Find. You move to the next suspect word.
● Correct the word directly in the Suspect box, and then click Accept And Find to move to
the next suspect word.
● To ignore the suspect word and move to the next suspect, click Find Next.
● If the suspect was incorrectly identified as text, click the Not Text button.
4. Review and correct the remaining suspect words, and then close the Find Element dialog
box.
