I would normally use the Acrobat X tools I cited in my example to make the PDF searchable. Having used that bit of information I saw that the PDF has many other interesting songs and is likely to have information I will need for future projects. The PDF I used to illustrate the problem, the International Archive digitization of Harold W Thompson's _A Pioneer Songster_, came to my attention because of some reference to a song it includes. Acrobat X advanced search is one of my most important tools. I start with that PDF to illustrate how that problem effects my use of Acrobat X. You have my example of a PDF destroyed by this bug. Had it been clear or convincing I would have expected, as a registered Acrobat X user, to have had an independent warning about ths lethal problem from Adobe. I was not so fortunate with PDF's downloaded in the past but no longer available, and for which I did not discover the disaster until long after the text had been "recognized".Īpparently my example of a PDF destroyed by this problem in Acrobat X was either not clear or not convincing.
In this example only some time has been waisted since the original PDF can be downloaded again. The index is embedded but the PDF is useless. The PDF document needs to be savede before an index can be embedded. Tools > Reduce the time for searching by adding a search index If you don't know that the text has been trashed, the next reasonable thing to do is Now, review PDF page by page: every page except the front and back cover is blank. Upon completion get "Insufficient data for an image" Settings: Primary OCR Language: English (US) PDF Output Style: Searchable Image Downsample To:600 dpi Open the downloaded PDF: pioneersongster00thorn.pdf Somehow, destroying valuable documents seems to me to be equally as important as fixing the latest security hole. If you cannot fix it please recommend a work-around.
