How Adobe Acrobat scan scans

  • • Acrobat can create a PDF from a scanner and recognise the text.
  • • Scanning software saves the scanner's page images into a PDF, sometimes with an OCR text layer.
  • • Resolution and colour mode are whatever you chose in the scan settings.
  • • Scans at 300 dpi in grayscale or colour give the best results; hidden OCR layers are detected and updated.

Questions people ask

+Can I change names on official records?

No. Only change documents you own or may change. Altering official records such as IDs or certificates is fraud.

+What if a word cannot be changed invisibly?

You get the exact reason, such as a stamp in the way or a font that could not be identified, instead of a smudged page.
