I recently received this email from a Michigan law firm:
Is there a straighten image tool for scanned images in Acrobat 11? My scanner is getting older and sometimes pulls documents through with a tilt.
Acrobat deskews (straightens) pages during the OCR process, but what if you do not want to OCR the document?
Acrobat can apply various image processing functions using the Optimize Scanned PDF function such as deskewing, background removal, descreening and more.
In this article, I’ll show you how to:
- Find and use Optimize Scanned PDF to deskew (straighten) pages in PDF documents
- Offer a pre-configured Acrobat XI Action which you can use as is to straighten PDF pages
Where is the Optimize Scanned PDF option?
Optimize Scanned PDF is found in the Document Processing panel which is hidden by default. To access this feature, you will need to show this panel.
Here’s how:
- Open the PDF document you wish to straighten
- Click the flyout menu at the top of the Tools panel:
- Select Document Processing from the list of available panels:
Deskew and Straighten PDF using Optimize Scanned PDF
- Open the PDF you wish to straighten in case it is not already open.
- Open the Document Processing panel and then click on Optimize Scanned PDF:
- To straighten the image without OCRing or changing compression, do the following:
A) Deselect “Apply Adaptive Compression”
B) Deselect “Make Searchable (Apply OCR)”
C) OPTIONAL: See below for Filter Section
The Filter section allows you to apply other image cleanup functions such as background removal, etc. You can experiment with these settings which can be helpful in some circumstances.
