Using Adobe 9 to edit scanned document

[Cmustang87]

[H]ey guys,

I have an issue, I have Adobe Standard installed, and I have the document scanned and into a PDF right now. I've tried analyzing the document with the built in OCR software inside Adobe and I can select and find text, but it's not allowing me to edit any of the text in here. If I copy and paste it into word, it will copy the text but ignore all formatting.

The security on the PDF document allows me to do everything. Does anyone have any ides for me to try in doing this?

Make sure "searchable text" is selected within the Adobe config as well. Or just try converting to RTF (rich-text format) within Adobe. Just some ideas if you can't get this working...go to www.ecopy.com and download the trial version of ecopy desktop. It's a great PDF editing tool with a slightly better OCR engine.
