Hi Martin, For specific files you wish to process, you're best approach is to open the files directly in the Virtual View window by choosing the third radio button, called Source file. As soon as you press Ok, you will notice that the browse for file dialog opens, allowing you to select the file.

I tried alt-print with a few pdf files opened in acrobat (newest version) with very different results. How are we supposed to use this to get the best results out of it? When I open a pdf then turn off browse mode and press alt-print virtual view starts the ocr. In two out of three pdf files I got "no text found" But there is text, I know it. In the third file VV did find text but also scanned the menue and sidebar of acrobat - so the text includes also "save pdf" "create pdf" and everything else. how can I only get the text of an image? And what can I do to get the other files scanned as an external ocr would do it?
