Re: [PDF] Paper Capture Fails

Title: Message

We use the paper capture feature in Acrobat 6.0 (Professional and Standard) and it  works very well. We also have good success using it in Acrobat 5.0 - however we experienced significant difficulties with the 4.0 version using Paper Capture. (The 4.0 version produced so many errors that it proved unworkable.)  A major issue when using paper capture relative to  its success depends on what software produced the PDF file. Some PDF producing software - creates a PDF that causes paper capture to fail every time. When we started using Arts-Import as the tool to create PDF files (tiff to PDF conversion), we never had a problem.  The plug-in was removed in 5.0 for a short while, but was later made available as a download from Adobe. The 5.0 version had a 50 page limitation. The 6.0 version does not have the 50 page limitation..  We also use AutoCapture-X-Pro to enhance automation for the OCR of  large numbers of documents.   One work around for PDF files that refuse to OCR with Paper Capture is to re-distill the file. This works most of the time.  Setting scan resolution at  300 dpi  also avoids some problems.   Steve Harris ----- Original Message ----- From: Harry Gilbert To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 7:12 AM Subject: [PDF] Paper Capture Fails I declined to update my Acrobat 4.05 because Adobe removed the paper capture plug-in in later versions. I make occasional use of the ability to scan in documents and use the paper convert tool to make the resulting PDF searchable. Now I find that two copies of Acrobat 4.05 -- one at work, and another at home -- both simultaneously have failures of the paper capture plug-in. The page is recognized, and an error message "An unrecoverable error occurred in Paper Capture" appears when the converted page is about to be written to file. Is this a real "error" or did Adobe put a Trojan in the program to disable paper capture?   Harry Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
