  2. Umlauts ("äÖüß"...) are not displayed correctly in the “Correct Suspects” dialog.

    Reproduce: scan a german text, OCR, "correct suspects".

    Arobat Version 2025.001.20474 | 64-Bit German
    Windows 11 Home, 24H2 26100.4061, German

    example attached

    observed: abl�scht.
    expected: ablöscht.

    It's just a display issue in the dialog. The ocr'ed text in the document contains valid umlauts. Can be validated via checkbox in the dialog and observed in the overlaid text.

  3. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET ME TURN OF AUTO-OCR!!!

    It triggers automatically all the time when I open PDFs, destroying the underlying images with no way to undo it!

    There is no preference to disable this!

    Insane!

  4. Good Afternoon Adobe Community,

    Respectfully requesting the consideration of creating an Adobe PDF function that allows us to use CTRL-F or Advanced Search to find & mark all pages WITHOUT certain content.

    This would be a great help for medical record verifications when trying to find all pages that DO NOT contain the patient’s SSN so it can be annotated.
    A feature like this would make military operations as well as hospital operations much more efficient as it would not just be isolated to SSN's but case-numbers or serial numbers just as well. Something as simple as an exclude checkbox…

  6. The menu to enhance an image loads in behind the toolbar. You can move the toolbar out of the way, but you shouldn't have to. Should be a simple fix.

  7. AI assistant doesn't recognize loaded languages. I got a scanned pdf from China, the AI couldn't process the file. I had to upload to google translate to read the file.

    Also, regular scan and ORC didn't work... but the freeware from google works.

  8. We are looking for enhanced capacity for OCR and document cleanup. We would like adobe to remove smudges and/or recognize characters that are not identifiable by OCR.

    This would greatly improve the user experience when we need to cleanup documents using OCR

  9. How is it possible that cropping a pdf is a complete ******* mystery? Should be:
    1. Mark area
    2. Click Crop
    3. Done
    Now it is
    1. Click crop
    2. Mark area
    3. Click, nothing happens
    4. Realize you should have double-clicked, WTF?
    5. Start over, double-click
    6. Get mysterious dialogue
    7. Press OK
    8. ???? nothing happened?

  10. I am a Adobe acrobat pro user. Hindi is the 3rd largest spoken language in the world. Marathi is 10-11th but still you keep ignoring billions of people's request for many years. There is no OCR support. You dont even recognise us. All we get is a cold responses from Adobe. Not fair. If you dont listen, you will fall off one day in this new world of AI. Tried to reach out to you on Twitter, forums everywhere for many years but no action. Tell us that you are listening and escalating it to the top people.

  13. Whenever I try to perform OCR recognition on a scanned Simplified Chinese document, an error message will pop up: Acrobat could not perform Text Recognition on this page because: Unknown error (see uploaded screenshot). The scanning quality is very high. English documents scanned in the same way can be easily recognized through OCR. Meanwhile, simplified Chinese OCR works fine on Android App.

    When performing Simplified Chinese OCR recognition on the Android app, the app prompts me to download the Simplified Chinese language pack. However, there is no such prompt on the desktop software. I'm not sure if the problem is…

  14. The scanning feature and text recognition has become very faulty recently and can't even detect text on a document that has been converted from Word. This means that it is impossible to search certain words using ctrl+F and when trying to highlight a specific word or line it just highlights half of the page. Please could this issue be looked into as this function used to work fine.

  15. Text selection is really really bad, on most documents (even on well structured digital documents). I cannot describe how frustrating it is to use in the day to day.

    Best workaround is to screenshot documents and use the text recognition of the snipping tool (on windows), that while not always perfect, is miles ahead of the text selection on Adobe Acrobat.

    Adobe cannot not know that issue at this point, after all those years developing and maintaining acrobat and still this bad in inconceivable. Hope to see an improvement on that part one day!

  16. When I've started a bulk download in Adobe Acrobat Scan-folder and choose the same files for deletion, but the binder.zip was not yet completed all files are gone.

    They should be at least in the document cloud trash bin to restore them after deletion anyway.

  17. Page orientation changes automatically on some pages when we perform OCR in Adobe 2023 in some cases. The page orientation of each page must be the same as the original file.

  18. After the latest update I am unable to use the Enhance Camera Image option when performing OCR. I am given the handles to select the border area of the document, but the popup window with the "Enhance" button does not appear, leaving me unable to continue.

  19. Buongiorno, vorrei sapere come mai in Adobe Acrobat Pro quando si acquisisce una pagina mettere il segno di spunta su "mostra interfaccia utente dello scanner"; azione che permetterebbe di ritagliare solo la parte del documento che si vuole effettivamente acquisire. Grazie
    Hello, I would like to know why in Adobe Acrobat Pro when scanning a page put the check mark on "show scanner user interface"; an action that would allow you to crop only the part of the document that you actually want to scan. Thank you

  20. Leider kann man nur einen Dateinamen vergeben, wenn man das gescannte Dokument abspeichert.

    Möchte man das Dokument nach dem Scannen direkt per Email versenden, so wird der Dateiname lediglich als "Unbenannt" gekennzeichnet.

    Insofern wäre es hilfreich, wenn man vor dem Scannen bereits einen Dateinamen vergeben könnte.
