    Sadly OCR is very low priority for Adobe - the quality of OCR hasn't improved at all in recent years despite the advance in technology, the code is old, slow and unpredictable.

    Here's a great one.

    I've screencapped the image that it was trying to OCR.

    The result?

    COME ON Adobe, you can do better than this.

    I can give countless examples of where the OCR in Acrobat creates terrible results. It messes up common words where it should be obvious that the word says

    Common and not Cornrnon (for example)

    I don't even know why it asks us to select the language for the OCR when it doesn't seem to do ANY sanity checking or using that for hints to improve OCR quality.

    Right now I haven't seen any improvement in the OCR engine quality for a decade, and as others have said the rivals are getting better and better.

    Invest in this please Adobe

    a big problem! This typically happens on documents where we have some stylistic text at an angle, for example a heading or a stripe. Acrobat will sometimes rotate the page through an arbitrary angle, and there is NO WAY TO UNDO THIS, short of copying the page out of the original file, and replacing it, and using 'searchable image exact' to OCR. But that doesn't help if the original pages are being downscaled as we then have to figure out manually how to fix it.

    Please add an option so that the rotation of any specific page after OCR can be undone.
