1. Feature request - OCR for Indian Languages

   Indian languages are used by 1/6th of humanity. It would be really helpful if major Indian languages such as Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Odia, and Sanskrit had the OCR feature. There are many 3rd party OCR softwares for some of these languages but if it was integrated into Acrobat, it would also make searches, editing, and other things easier for users of these languages.

2. I CAN'T GET THIS TERRIBLE PROGRAM TO OCR A PDF. WHY DO I PAY FOR PRO?

   I have been trying for ten minutes to run a simple ocr feature (that I pay for) on this terrible program and nothing works. I have tried in the desktop (and nothing happens when I click on "Scan & OCR", other than to change the tab to Convert. I have tried with the online version, and nothing happens. And your stupid 'provide email and password' below is broken. Does anything you do work?

3. Korean language support improvement

   When i used ocr for korean, it didnt know it was korean and ocr failed. With AI, it should know better and suggest to install language pack.

   After language pack installed, ocr was 80% accurate. With AI it should be way better.

   After ocr, printing looks horrible. It should provide options to print with original scanned results only rather than 80% complete ocr results. I cancelled my subscription and used open source odf solution for this:
   Korean OCR: 95% for keyword search only
   Printing works as intended.

4. Multi-page scans turn black in New Acrobat on Windows 11

   I am using Adobe Acrobat on Windows 11 with an Epson RapidReceipt RR-600W scanner.
   When using the New Acrobat interface and scanning a multi-page document directly from Acrobat, the first page scans correctly, but subsequent pages appear completely black.
   The issue occurs with both TWAIN and WIA and also occurs after resetting Acrobat preferences, repairing the Acrobat installation, and installing all current Windows updates.
   Important: If I select Show scanner’s user interface, all pages scan correctly.
   Epson ScanSmart also scans the same multi-page document correctly, and the resulting PDF displays correctly in Acrobat.
   If I select Disable New Acrobat and use Classic Acrobat, the same multi-page document scans correctly directly from Acrobat.
   Therefore, the problem appears to be specific to the New Acrobat scanning interface.
   Scanner: Epson RapidReceipt RR-600W
   Operating System: Windows 11
   Reproducible: Yes, consistently

5. Adobe Acrobat Pro - Missing Manual Adjustment Window for "Enhance Camera Image"

   When converting image-based documents (such as JPGs) to PDF using the Scan & OCR tool in Adobe Acrobat and applying the "Enhance Camera Image" feature, the manual adjustment window and enhancement level selection that were previously available no longer appear following recent updates.

   While the system applies an automatic enhancement in the background, certain documents end up completely unreadable or washed out due to over-applied contrast or filtering. Because the manual density or enhancement level controls from previous versions have been removed, users are left with no way to intervene or correct the output.

   Expected Behavior:
   In the Enhance Camera Image process, please restore sliders or a settings window (similar to previous versions) that allow users to manually adjust the enhancement level and contrast alongside the automatic optimization, or provide an option to toggle manual controls.

6. Tarama ve OCR (Scan & OCR)

   Adobe Acrobat içerisindeki Tarama ve OCR (Scan & OCR) aracıyla görsel bazlı belgeleri (JPG vb.) PDF'e dönüştürürken "Kamera Görüntüsünü İyileştir" özelliğini kullandığımızda, son güncellemelerle birlikte önceden sunulan geliştirme derecesi/manuel ayar ekranı artık gelmemektedir.

   Sistem arka planda otomatik bir iyileştirme uygulamaktadır; ancak bazı belgelerde kontrast veya filtreleme aşırı yapıldığı için metinler tamamen okunamaz ve silik hale gelmektedir. Eskiden bu ekranda bulunan manuel yoğunluk veya geliştirme derecesi ayarları kaldığı için kullanıcılar müdahale edememektedir.

   Beklenen Davranış:
   Kamera Görüntüsünü İyileştir işleminde, otomatik optimizasyonun yanı sıra kullanıcının kontrast/geliştirme derecesini manuel olarak ayarlayabileceği kaydırıcıların veya ayar penceresinin (önceki sürümlerde olduğu gibi) yeniden eklenmesini veya kullanıcıya seçim opsiyonu sunulmasını talep ediyorum.

7. Japanese OCR produces garbled text with "Searchable Image" on macOS

   I am experiencing a problem with Japanese OCR in Adobe Acrobat.

   When I run text recognition on a scanned Japanese PDF and select "Searchable Image", the page itself looks normal, but when I select and copy the recognized text, the result is garbled.
   For example, I get text like:
   「譛ｬ譖ｸ縺ｯ縲∵叛騾∝､ｧ蟄ｦ縺ｮ隰帷ｾｩ逕ｨ縺ｫ菴懈􈢐縺励◆縲∽ｼ夊ｨ亥ｭｦ縺ｮ蝓ｺ譛ｬ譖ｸ縺ｧ縺吶」
   It should be recognized as:
   「本書は､放送大学の講義用に作成した､会計学の基本書です｡」
   The same document works correctly when I use "Editable Text and Images" instead.

   Environment:
   - OS: macOS 26.6.2
   - Acrobat: 2026.002.21901 (Continuous Release)
   - App language: Japanese

8. 텍스트 스캔의 사용여부를 수동으로 기본 설정해주세요

   제발 "편집"기능 눌렀을때 자동으로 "스캔"기능을 실행하지않게 기본값을 수동으로 설정해주세요.

   솔직히 ADOBE 개발자분들도 본인들의 "스캔"기능이 제대로 작동하질않는다는점을 잘 알고계시잖아요?

   텍스트 스캔은 시간도 많이 잡아먹고 대다수 사용자들에게 "우선적으로" 불필요한 기능이란 점을 반드시 알아주셨으면 합니다.

9. Suggestions to improve Acrobat's "Review Recognized Text" UI & functional capability

   The UI of the existing "Review Recognized Text" UI (& its functionality) is outdated and BADLY needs improvement. Today, it still only has buttons to "Accept" or "Cancel" [stops the entire operation}, plus it permits the user to manually "edit" how that item will be recognized (just this time) before the user selects "Accept".

   These two options themselves don't need to change, but - alone - they are TERRIBLY inadequate, particularly when reviewing a very long document in which the exact same item appears as "unrecognized' many, many times. Other OCR products offer much more helpful additional buttons, which - after all these years - Acrobat should include in its OCR "Review" feature, including specifically:

   1. "Accept All": For this instance and for every other instance of this exact same unrecognized item in this document, "Accept" then all in the same manner as I am indicating here (by having either left unchanged the proposed suggestion or manually edited this item before I clicked this "Accept All" button).

   2. "Skip": Do nothing about this item and move on to the next unrecognized item (I don't want to accept your incorrect suggestion, but I don't want this item "cleared", either.)

   3. "Skip All": Same as above, but also bypass every other identification of this exact same unrecognized item throughout the remainder of this document.

   Presently, the feature includes NO repeating mechanism at all and it includes NO method to simply bypass an "unrecognized" item other than to manually edit it AND, in doing so, to make certain to leave it with at least a blank space.

   These UI/design/capability omissions have made reviewing "unrecognized text" -- particularly when reviewing long documents -- a genuine PITA-level chore.

   I cannot imagine "why" these should be difficult to include, as other OCR products long ago have **** so. So I'm very disappointed that Adobe has ignored these needed improvements.

   FWIW, my other improvement wish here is for this tool to be capable of "learning", that is to be "taught" by the User to always cause the same item to be "recognized" as the User instructs in all future documents and included an editable table of such User-instructed changes (other OCR software I've used included this capability.) I recognize this capability likely would require A LOT of additional work, so cannot be expected anytime soon.

   But I believe my 3 suggestions above should be easy to include, so I urge prompt attention to implementing them.

10. Adobe Scan for IOS

    In ID Card capture mode, automatic finger removal incorrectly identifies and removes part or all of the portrait photograph when the scan is saved. Because this silently alters identity-document content, finger removal should be disabled by default for ID scans or require confirmation before processing.

11. Acrobat repeatedly steals Windows focus while performing OCR

    When Acrobat performs OCR on a large PDF, it repeatedly brings its window to the foreground and takes keyboard focus, apparently each time it moves to the next page.

    This prevents me from working in another application, such as Microsoft Excel, while OCR is running. Every few seconds, focus switches from Excel back to Acrobat. Any typing may then be interrupted or accidentally entered into Acrobat.

    OCR is a long-running background operation, particularly for documents containing hundreds or thousands of pages. Acrobat should not activate its window or take keyboard focus merely because it has moved to the next page.

    Steps to reproduce

    Open a large scanned PDF in Acrobat Pro on Windows.
    Select Scan & OCR and start OCR for the entire document.
    Switch to another application, such as Microsoft Excel.
    Begin typing or working in that application.
    Observe that Acrobat repeatedly comes to the foreground and takes focus as it progresses through the PDF.

    Expected result

    Acrobat should perform OCR in the background. It may update its taskbar progress indicator or show a notification when the operation finishes, but it should not activate its window or take keyboard focus.

    Actual result

    Acrobat repeatedly takes focus every few seconds, making the computer effectively unusable for other work until OCR completes.

    Requested fix

    Please change OCR processing so that page changes do not activate the Acrobat window. Alternatively, add an option such as “Run OCR in background” or “Do not bring Acrobat to the foreground during processing.”

13. Stop automatically scanning (OCR) documents. Just ask me first if I want that (I don't!).

    Stop Adobe from automatically scanning documents. That needs to be an option that I request or that you prompt me for, not something that starts automatically (and potentially damages documents / freezes the app for a long period of time).

14. Scan and OCR

    When I am using the OCR function with a document, the whole app is paralysed and won't allow me to read or work on other documents in other tabs. If this is by design then this is a significant oversight because other work cannot take place especially when the document being processed is large. If this is a fault then I need to know how to correct it. I am running an up to date PC with 32ghz processing power so I don't really understand what the problem is.

17. TTS

    Thank you for adding TTS to Adobe Acrobat Reader!! I'm writing today because sometimes, when attempting to use the new TTS feature, some pdfs are currently incompatible due to how OCR works on scanned PDF files. Sometime the TTS won't "understand" how to read a two column pdf. It will just read both columns as though it was one sentence, which defeats the point of using TTS.

    TTS is in adobe is a game changer for me! It's vital feature because sometimes i'll write small reflections (in MC word) is my scholarly pdf is being read to me. Which amplifies the speed at which I am able to "read and digest" scholarly articles. This OCR bug is the only roadblock left now. Thanks in advance!

18. Create Button sucks

    Hovering the mouse anywhere REMOTELY close to the create button will prompt the drop down to create a new tab etc. The mouse is not on the button when this happens, but NEXT to "create" and and the drop down still happens. It is in the way, when simply trying to select the top of the page bar to move my screen around.

Then choose Recognize text. The page range shown in the dialogue box will be ignored and ALL pages will have OCR performed. Platform: Windows. Expected Result: Selected Pages get OCR. Observed Result: All pages get OCR.

20. TEXT RECOGNITION IN PDF SO THAT WORDS CAN BE HIGHLIGHTED

    The Convert Webpage to PDF, and Add Webpage PDF functions were completely destroyed by Adobe about 9 months ago.  I requested fixes a couple of times and eventually Adobe restored these to much better functionality about a month ago.  I responded that the functions were now good.

    BUT I have since found that once the PDF is created from a webpage, there is no text recognition within the PDF.  When I try to use the OCR recognition function, it responds "could not perform recognition because this page contains renderable text".  

    The consequence of this is that highlighting of individual words is IMPOSSIBLE.  It just wants to highlight a huge square.

    Once again, Microsoft Print to PDF and much better at all this than Adobe Acrobat Pro -which is charging a lot and increasing its price.
