Adobe PostScript 3 problem with 'search' & 'find'?

Aug 8, 2012 8:05 AM

We have a new Ricoh copier with Adobe PostScript 3 installed. When we scan a document as a .pdf and send it to an email address, the receiver gets it, opens it ok, but then can't 'search' or find' or copy anywhere on the document.  What is the problem?  Is it the Adobe PostScript 3 software? 

 

Please help, as we need to get these documents to 'search', 'find,' and  copy.

    May be that the pdf file does contain only images of the scanned pages.

    Yes, we know now that the .pdf is a picture image, but how do we correct it?  We've been told it needs OCR (optical Character Recognition), but isn't that included in the software of Adobe PostScript 3?  Please advise.

     

    Thanks, Carol

    You can perform OCR with Adobe Acrobat.

    Adobe PostScript 3 is installed inside your printer, and only there. It isn't something on your computer.

    The printer may also be a copier or scanner, but it won't have anything to do with them.
