![]() The Automatic Color detection setting of the ScanSnap treats pages without color content as B & W, and shifts to a lower-resolution mode including color if a page has color content. ![]() I usually set these at 150 to 200 dpi and 75% image quality and find the results quite readable and with acceptable print quality.įor copy that’s primarily text, I usually use Black & White scanner settings. The default setting is a compromise between view/print quality and file size, 150 dpi and 50% image quality. (Perhaps one of these days Apple will optimize image layer production.)ĭTPO Preferences > OCR provides user-modifiable options to control the final resolution and image quality of ABBY-OCRd searchable PDFs. Because OS X rasterization isn’t as file-size efficient as Adobe’s, the resulting file size is larger for searchable PDFs produced by ABBYY. It is true that Acrobat uses its own proprietary code to produce the image layer of searchable PDFs, whereas ABBYY uses the code built into OS X. I’ve also tried ReadIRIS Pro 12, and find that ABBYY produces consistently more accurate results. Overall, I find the text recognition accuracy of ABBYY OCR better than that of Acrobat OCR, sometimes significantly better. I’ve run the same original PDFs through OCR with both Acrobat and DTPO’s ABBYY OCR. I’ve experimented with a variety of copy, including color content and a variety of fonts and font sizes. Most of my scans are done using a ScanSnap S500M. I have read various reports that this is intentional to prevent taking work away fromĪdobe’s more expensive products which are specifically geared for fully scripted activities. I have tried to Applescript the whole process, but Acrobat 8 Professional is not fully scriptable So, the batch process spits out files into a separate folder & I drag these processed files into DTPO. (Note that this is an Abbyy problem, not DTPO, but Devonthink don’t want to know about it.) ![]() Most importantly, bitmapped (1-bit black & white) images stay bitmapped & are usually less than 50kb/page at good quality, whereas DTPO changes these to greyscale, decreasing the image quality & increasing the file size. I then have a batch process in Acrobat 8 Professional than processes these by doing an OCR (Exact) then downsampling to a lower resolution at higher compression. I don’t have a way to do what you want exactly, but I have a workflow that uses my ScanSnap to scan into a temporary folder. They have repeatedly said in other forum threads that OCR to them is a “black hole”, ie, they pass the PDF to Abbyy & take whatever is spit out. Windows 7 Enterprise for the XI Standard users.Cameron, I agree with you. Server 2008 R2 for my version of X 10.1.16 Standard I checked the permissions of the document on their side and they have full permissions on the documents. Save as Tiff's, it exports each page as a tiff 100-600 pages per document! Then they combine these Tiff's, then they save as a PDF and Then they are able to convert to searchable text! Holy Crap, that is ridicoulse.especially when it should work as a convert 1st step like in my test!!! What is the cause of this? Otherwise this is what they have to do. But this is where it differs from my test, on mine it started to process the pages for OCR and hers does not. Selected OK through several pages of the same prompt, and on the last page it showed almost the same message except there was No check box to ignore these messages.obviously as it was the last page. So I logged onto one of their workstations and opened the document in XI Standard, Went to Tools, Recognize text, in this file, Got the prompt that Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) because page contains renderable text". The users with the issues all have XI or DC Standard. No I cannot send the file(Dr files) but it doesn't matter anyway cuz I'm able to convert with OCR on the file with my version of Acrobat X Standard.
