#PDFPENPRO SLOW PDF#
It is good enough as a PDF editor that it can replace both Apple Preview and Adobe Acrobat.Ĭomments and your own experiences are welcome.A subreddit devoted to tips and tricks for being more productive. If I really wanted a dedicated OCR program, Finereader is probably the way to go. I am not attempting a comprehensive review or comparison here. PDFpen has OCR as an afterthought, and seems to have no controls except selecting your language. Finereader may have an on/off switch for compression, but I’ve never investigated in detail. Or, you can set it so there is no compression at all. You can shrink documents another factor of 2 if you settle for slightly blurred text. Acrobat is in the middle.Īs a side note, Acrobat has a number of settings for compression. A single page of a very detailed graph can take 2 minutes, and I’ve needed to run some 700 page documents overnight. Finereader can be very very slow, especially when it runs into figures that it “thinks” might actually be text. In terms of speed, PDFpen is the fastest.

(My machine = Macbook Pro retina display, 4 cores, 8 GB of main memory, 500GB solid state drive.) I certainly don’t need this kind of resolution, so I have been trying to shrink the biggest ones. Although I can work with files that size, the total database is now over 50 GB, and is stretching my solid state drive. Some of the original files I’m dealing with were photographed with exquisite care and resolution, and as a result are more than 500 MB. So I dropped another $100 on Abbyy Finereader, which is a single-purpose OCR program that is the most sophisticated and diligent about OCR. It turns out to have an annoying bug: it refuses to process documents that include even a single page which has already been converted to text.
The cheapest is PDFpen, which is an inexpensive (and easier to use) replacement for Adobe Acrobat. (OCR = Optical Character Recognition = takes scanned documents and makes them searchable, copyable, etc.) Here are some notes on my experience, with the goal of saving time for others in the future. In the end, no single OCR program did everything, and I have ended up with 3. I have them all in a database, and it’s useful to search the DB for key terms like V1 and density altitude.
#PDFPENPRO SLOW MANUALS#
I have been doing a lot of OCR, as I study more than 100 old aircraft manuals to see how aviation procedures evolved.
