I have accidentally selected to not be asked if I want to recognize text when using the find function. How can I turn this back on so that I don't have to convert scanned pages to searchable images before using the find function?
Hello Jdgordon,
Sorry for the delayed response and inconvenience caused. To turn on automatic OCR:
For detailed information, you can refer to Edit scanned PDFs, turn off automatic OCR, Adobe Acrobat
Let us know how it goes and share your findings.
Regards,
Anand Sri.

I have had the exact same problem, but this suggested solution does not work. So the answer is NOT CORRECT.
The solution certainly helps in other contexts -- such as whenever I enter "Edit PDF" mode -- but I instinctively just select "Find", and it doesn't recognize the text when I do that ... so if I'm working too fast, I don't realize that this PDF wasn't OCR'd.
HOW CAN I TURN IT BACK ON SO THAT IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY REMIND ME WHEN I HIT FIND ... LIKE IT USED TO?

In the preferences of Adobe Acrobat click on "Reset All Warnings".
