x Use OCR fonts or other clear fonts at about 12 points if possible; black text on a white background is
the best for accuracy, while colored backgrounds and decorative fonts cause the most errors.
Evaluating Suspects
If you chose formatted text and graphics as the OCR method, once the capture is complete you can evaluate
the results of the conversion. Characters that cannot be definitively converted are defined as suspects . To
view the suspects in a document, choose Document > Recognize Text Using OCR > Find All OCR
Suspects. Any content that needs confirmation is outlined with red boxes.
Choose Document > Recognize Text Using OCR > Find First OCR Suspect or select the TouchUp Text
tool on the Advanced Editing toolbar and click a suspect on the document to open the Find Element
dialog box (Figure 5.8).
Figure 5.8 Evaluate suspect items in this dialog box
In the figure, the word “Boats” is suspect, and the OCR process identified the text as “Boas:” Type
replacement text in the Suspect field to make changes; click Accept and Find to confirm the interpretation
and go to the next suspect. Click Not Text if the object is not text; click Find Next to view the next suspect;
and click Close to end the evaluation process.
You can use the TouchUp Text tool to modify fonts that may have changed if you used the Formatted
Text & Graphics conversion option. Save the document.
Creating a PDF from a Clipboard Image
You can copy and paste images to your system's clipboard to use to create a new PDF document. In
Acrobat, you can either create a new file or add clipboard contents to an existing file as a stamp.
Creating a New PDF File
Select and copy the image you want to use for a new PDF document in its source program. In Acrobat, you
can choose Window > Clipboard Viewer to see the copied content. To produce a new PDF file, choose
From Clipboard Image from the Create PDF task button's menu. The clipboard content is processed and the
new file opens in Acrobat.
If your source file was a JPEG image, the Picture Tasks plug-in and its associated information dialog
box may display - click OK to dismiss the dialog box.
