Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0 and accessibility

Adobe® Acrobat® Capture® 3.0 software is a professional production tool that teams with your scanner to convert volumes of paper documents into searchable Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Accurate optical character recognition (OCR), advanced page and content recognition, and powerful cleanup tools let you turn all your important paper-based information into high-quality electronic documents ready for publication via the Web, intranets, extranets, CD-ROM, and more. Sophisticated productivity features streamline processing from start to finish, so you can get your jobs done more efficiently than ever.


Using Acrobat Capture 3.0, you can:

  • Convert large volumes of paper to accessible Adobe PDF files more quickly than with Adobe Acrobat 6.0
  • Embed a layer of searchable, accessible text into scanned documents using OCR
  • Exclude areas of the page from the OCR process with the Zone tool so that graphics or random text do not confuse readers
  • Automatically generate hyperlinks and bookmarks based on tables of contents and indexes so users can more easily navigate the document
  • Automatically tag high volumes of legacy PDF documents, such as memos and reports
  • Significantly reduce the amount of time an organization spends on converting legacy documents to accessible formats
