Request for Optional OCR Prompt and Improved Performance When Using the Edit Tool in Acrobat
Dear Adobe Team,
I would like to raise a concern regarding the way Acrobat currently handles scanned sheet music when the Edit tool is selected.
At present, the software automatically performs a full-page scan and applies OCR, which results in the image being divided into multiple fragments. Unfortunately, these fragments are often slightly displaced from their original positions, making the score unusable.
This behaviour is problematic for users who work with scanned musical scores or other documents where precise visual alignment is essential. I kindly suggest that Acrobat be improved in one of the following ways:
• Allow users to configure in Preferences whether automatic OCR should be triggered when selecting the Edit tool.
• Alternatively, prompt the user each time the Edit tool is chosen, asking whether they wish to apply OCR to the entire document.
In addition, the waiting time during this automatic process is often excessively long, which severely disrupts efficient workflows. On some occasions, the programme even stops responding altogether. Addressing these performance issues would be just as important as providing users with more control over OCR behaviour.
Such improvements would give users greater flexibility, prevent unnecessary distortion of scanned materials, and ensure that Acrobat remains reliable for musicians, archivists, and others who depend on accurate scanned images.
Thank you very much for considering this request.
Kind regards,
PyoungRyang Ko

When the Edit button is clicked, a single image on each page of the PDF is fragmented into dozens of pieces, its positioning becomes distorted, and the entire image rotates slightly counterclockwise. As a result, each time the Edit button is pressed, the image becomes increasingly distorted and progressively rotates to the left overall. This is a critical issue.
