FMKatz Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Trying to convert a scanned PDF to editable doc(x) or txt. For .docx, Nitro Pro seems to create a docx doc with just an image for each page of the original. For txt, it seems to almost get it, but introduces spaces between every character, like so: (a) T h e d e v e l o p m e n t o f a r e al i s t i c a n d c o n v e n ti o n a lly s t r u c t u r e d n o v e l. (b) T h e e l a b o r a t i o n o f a n e x p l i c i t c h a r a c t e r o l o g y , w e d d e d t o a c o n c e p t o f t h e d y n a m ic s o f h u m a n b e h a v i o r . . (c) T h e a r t i c u l a t i o n o f th e d r a m a o f " e m e r g e n c e " o f p e r s o n a l i t y in h u m a n r e l a t i o n s , a n d in r e l a t i o n t o th e a t t u n e d o b s e r v e r . (d) T h e e m b r a c i n g o f a s a t i s f a c t o r y p h i l o s o p h i c s u b s t i t u t e f o r th e The PDF document can be converted (very nicely) with other OCR solutions (Free Online OCR and SmartOCR) - so it can't be a problem with the input. Am I missing a setting - or just expecting too much? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power User Steven Zakulec Posted December 10, 2018 Power User Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 If you are using the OCR in Nitro, you probably want the Searchable & Editable option instead of the Searchable option. Also, all the available options for OCR are under File, Preferences, Conversion. If you aren't on the latest version of Nitro for your version, it's worth updating to the latest update and trying again (check here for the download links: https://www.gonitro.com/nps/product-details/downloads ).

CyberRon Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Has the trial version been updated with this fix to OCR? I would like to try it again. I tried the v12 in early March and the OCR was broken. It was very poor in comparison to the current version that I have - Nitro Pro 7.5. I would like to try it again if this is fixed, but the "trial period" is now expired and I can't reset it. Is there a way to give it another try?
