1. Make Auto OCR a switchable preference, not default!

   Auto OCR cannot be switched off, but is not always welcome nor even meaningful. Moreover, it takes a lot of time and/or many its to the 'cancel' button.
   Please, make it selectable preference - as it was before.

2. Provide a way to give hints to OCR

   I'm trying to OCR photos of text on a PC screen. I'd think OCR would do a much better job if I could give it hints, such as:

   • the text to recognize is in a monospaced font (now, it tries to use a font with variable character widths, frequently leading to words with spaces in the middle of them)

   • the text to recognize has regular line spacing

   Also, it would do much better if I could tell it:

   • proceed line by line; don't jump all over the place. OCR sometime reorders the content of tables in strange ways.

   Attached is an example where OCR did a decent, but not great job. With hints, I'd think it could approach 100% accuracy.

   Thanks.

3. Bug - difficulty with integration of Brother Printer/Scanner interface with Acrobat for scanning.

   Using iMac running Catalina OS, latest update and Brother MFCL3770CDW. When I create a document from scanner in Acrobat, the scan command triggers the Mac scanner interface. While black & white scanning works fine, there is a consistent error message when attempting to scan in color. The message is that the color profile chosen is not supported. Since I cannot choose the color profile, I am not sure what to do about this. It is a major headache.

4. Support of AV1 Image File Format avif for smaller and better quality pictures

   To minimize size and keep a good quality the support of AVIF pictures should be considered. In most cases it gives you just what you want, small sizes and great quality. Especially for archiving scans in color it's really nice, even for a mix of pictures, text and grained colors.

8. OCR on/off default setting in Preferences - NOT the current "sticky check box" solution

   I work in prepress and have repeated problems with OCR trying to render scanned images as text when it is not desired. Obviously, there is a checkbox under Edit PDF to disable it for each document, which appears to be "sticky," i.e. Adobe remembers the last setting used, however it would be better able to turn the default behavior on or off in Preferences so OCR can be employed only when it is desired. Using Adobe Pro DC for Windows 2020. Many thanks in advance.

11. Adobe Acrobat PRO 2017 cannot use Epson DS-520 Scanner

    OSX Catalina with Acrobat PRO 2017, and networked scanner Epson
    DS-520. I have installed the latest drivers and software for both
    the Adobe software and the Scanner. When I start Acrobat and select
    "Create PDF from Scanner", I get a pop up window with a choice of
    scanners. I then select the EPSON DS-520 from the list and click
    on SCAN. The SCAN button is then grey'ed out for a moment and
    then its back to its original (blue) color.

    Acrobat Pro just sits there doing nothing, no Epson Software appears
    and Acrobat Pro shows no progress indicator. If I try to start
    Create From Scanner again a dialogue appears saying "This operation
    is not allowed, since scanning is in progress"

    If I select QUIT Acrobat Pro I get the same dialogue box and end
    up having to Force Quit Acrobat Pro.

    Suggestions of how to resolve will be appreciated.

12. Straighten

    A button to straighten a scanned document would be so useful, particularly for anyone using a document feeder to scan. Currently, if you go to edit the document, it will straighten the pages for you, but it will sometimes convert handwritten notes into a font and change their appearance, which isn't ideal for signatures, for example. So, a separate option to straighten the document would be life changing for me at work.

13. Ability to select how many pages OCR in Action Wizard

    Users should be able to select how many pages are scanned for recognizable text in Action Wizard or when OCRing multiple documents.

    Performing OCR and recognizing text on a single document gives the user the option to select how many pages they want to OCR. Action Wizard and performing OCR on multiple documents removes the ability to select how many pages are scanned. I have several thousand documents that I'm only interested in performing OCR on the first page.

    How is this not a thing?

14. Bug Report: Adobe Bug when creating pdf from scanner in latest Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

    This is not an idea. It is a report of a serious, newly introduced bug in your expensive software.

    File -> Create -> PDF from Scanner worked fine for me for several years with my Epson WF-3540 printer/scanner, several levels and versions of Adobe Acrobat products - up to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - and my old Win7 laptop.

    Last week I finally got around to deploying my new Win10 laptop and installing Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Today I needed to scan some letters to PDF and was surprised and disappointed.

    My usual "File -> Create -> PDF from Scanner" brings up the "Scan & OCR" page with sections:

    Scanner

    (Epson WF-3540 is selected)

    Scan using

    "Default settings" radio button is pre-selected and cannot be de-selected

    "Show scanner's user interface" is greyed out.

    (The settings "gear icon" brings up a different page of options)

    Or use a predefined scan setting

    All of these options such as "Autodetect Color Mode" are greyed out. They cannot be selected.

    My former procedure (with myWin7 computer) was to select one of the predefined settings and run with it. No problem.

    Today, hitting Scan brings up a "What do you want to scan?" dialog box.

    I change paper source from Flatbed to Document Feeder
    I select the "Black and white picture of text" radio button
    I select the "Adjust the quality of the scanned picture" hyperlink and increase Resolution from 100 to 300 DPI and hit OK (which changes the radio button selection to "Custom Settings"
    I change page size from Legal to "Letter 8.5 x 11"
    

    I hit Scan

    IMPORTANT: There is no way to save these four steps! Must be repeated for every scanning event.

    This is an unacceptable downgrade.

    I chatted with a remote session with a support agent who concluded "That's the way it's intended to work in the latest edition". And "It cannot be fixed".

    I submitted a request for assistance to the Adobe Support Community and received this reply from Amal:
    "We are sorry for the trouble and the experience. Please use the Adobe wish form (https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html) to share your feedback with the engineering team."

    I replied to Amal on the Adobe Support Community:

    "Hello Amal. Thank you for your reply. You are not the one who sets policy or fixes software bugs, so I will follow your suggestion, but please pass this comment up the line.

    Requests to fix newly introduced bugs are not "wishes". I'm somewhat put off by Adobe calling it that.
    This expensive program used to work. The same program - with the same scanner - with only a change of computer and operating system - now has a serious bug.
    Windows 10 is not new. I held off to beyond the last possible moment to adopt Windows 10. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC is not new.
    
    This bug ought to have been fixed by now, and fixing it should not be treated as if a suggested new feature."

    I do not want to cancel my subscription but I pay too much to accept this kind of downgraded performance.

    Your response is requested.

    Thank you,
    Robert Peruzzi

16. No way to correct OCR errors in Acrobat pro DC

    There is a major problem with OCR in Acrobat Pro CD. I have recognized (OCR) text in many documents. They still contain a lot of recognition errors in the hidden text used for search. When I try to use the function/tool "Correct Recognized text" (translated from Norwegian), I get a message saying that there are no suspected errors. It is not possible to correct the remaining errors. This is just stupid, there is no 100% correct OCR program, there are lots of errors in the recognized text. There must be a way to fix the remaining errors, but your technical support tells me that it is not possible. Until this is fixed, I can not use the product.

18. OCR API

    As per information from the technical team currently there is no API available for converting the contents of a scanned PDF file to text format.
    OCR is available from Acrobat Pro, but it would be more convenient for the user to select the file name and leave the whole process of reading the file, converting to text and processing the data to one program which would utilize this API.
