Recently I acquired a HP Scanjet 5590 and notice if I OCR a scanned document at 600 dpi or 1200 dpi then the fonts are rendered at type 1 Helvetica or type 1 Times Roman, or variants of the both in Acrobat XI Pro. The source document opened as normal PDF in Acrobat XI Pro does not have any type 1 Helvetica or type 1 Times roman, but has fonts such as AGarmondPro-Regular, FFDingbats-ArrowsOne, UniversLTStd-LightCn, UniversLTStd-BoldCn, UniversLTStd-LightCnObl. I have also installed the base 35 type 1 fonts in the Acrobat Application which I purchased probably about 10 years ago from Adobe. Why does the OCR process not pick up with listed type 1 fonts as per the original PDF document? If it's relevant, I have the Acrobat Distiller default setting of Press Quality.
Is it something to do with maybe not having the original source type 1 fonts on my computer (MacPro late 2013)? Or is there someway of forcing the OCR process to render the original type 1 fonts as AGarmondPro-Regular, FFDingbats-ArrowsOne, UniversLTStd-LightCn, UniversLTStd-BoldCn, UniversLTStd-LightCnObl ? I have done research on the Adobe Forums website, checked the Acrobat XI Help and Tutorials manual and the Acrobat XI Pro Accessibility Guide-Best Practice For PDF Accessibility manual but was unable to find an answer to my question. Can someone please help me out? Do I need to go out and purchase more type 1 fonts such as FFDingbats and UniversLTStd ?
Thanks in anticipation for any assistance given,
Paul.
