Step 3: Perform OCR on Scanned Document
A common method for making PDF documents is to place a paper copy of a document into a
scanner and view the newly-scanned document as a PDF with Adobe Acrobat. Unfortunately,
scanners only create an image of text, not the actual text itself. This means the content is not
accessible to users who rely on assistive technology. Additional modifications must be made to
make the document accessible.
How to Determine if a PDF File is a Scanned Document
There are many ways to determine if a PDF file originated from a scanned page:
Note:
An Acrobat user can add bookmarks to a document only if the security settings
allow it. If this security setting must be disabled, ensure bookmarks are added to
the document before publishing.
1. Open the Document Properties Dialog
2. Activate the Initial View page tab
3. Set Page Layout to "single" or "single page continuous"
4. Set Window Options: Show to "Window Title"
5. Set the Navigation Tab dropdown to "Bookmarks Panel and Page"
6. Activate the OK button
Note:
If the PDF document is not a scanned document or it has previously undergone
optical character recognition (OCR), skip this discussion and proceed to "Step 4:
Add Form Fields and Set the Tab Order" on page 41.
