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,
