Can you use Adobe Acrobat for OCR?

Adobe Acrobat is a powerful PDF editing tool that offers a wide range of features, including the ability to add and delete text and images, annotate and highlight PDFs, fill out and save PDF forms, and more. However, one feature that is not available in Adobe Acrobat is the ability to edit the text in a scanned PDF. If you have a scanned PDF that you need to edit, you will need to use OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert the scanned PDF into a text-based document that you can edit.

There are a number of OCR software options available, both free and paid. These tools allow you to scan a PDF or image and convert the text into a digital format that you can edit, search, and copy. SuperTool’s Online OCR conversion relies on sophisticated AI and computer vision that isn’t found in free OCR services. The good news is that SuperTool’s OCR produces more accurate output.

Five Ways to Think about What OCR Does!

1. Text recognition: OCR, or optical character recognition, is a technology that is used to recognize and extract text from scanned documents or images. It is often referred to as text recognition because of this ability to recognize and extract text.
2. Document scanning: OCR is frequently used to digitize physical documents by scanning them and converting the text into a digital format. As a result, it is often referred to as a document scanning technology.
3. PDF editing: OCR is often used to edit scanned PDF files by converting them into text-based documents that can be edited and saved as new PDFs. Because of this, OCR is sometimes referred to as a PDF editing tool.
4. Image to text conversion: OCR can also be used to extract text from images, such as photographs or screenshots. This ability to convert images into text is another reason why OCR is often referred to as an image to text conversion tool.
5. Handwriting recognition: Some OCR software is able to recognize handwritten text, which can be useful for digitizing handwritten notes or documents. As a result, OCR is sometimes referred to as handwriting recognition software.
