how can I straighten lines of text within a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
Recently, I have scanned several text documents to PDF files. Unfortunately, I have several PDF's which have lines of text which appear uneven. With that said, is there a way I can correct this issue using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
Thank you
George
I'm glad to hear that you like answers which are graphically illustrated and interactive. I've always done a lot of screenshots in my answers and articles here at EE, and more recently have taken it to the next level with video/audio answers and tutorials. Sometimes the written word is better and sometimes images/videos/audio is the ticket to better learning/understanding. It's good to have all these tools in our arsenal. :) All the best, Joe
A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.

I want to give a big thank you for your help with respect to answering my question. By the way Joe, you created an excellent video demonstrating the necessary steps for straightening lines of text within Adobe Acrobat Professional XI. As an extra bonus, I certainly did appreciate the ease at which you demonstrated how text can be highlighted within Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to be copied using its integrated tools and pasted into WordPad.
At a more personal level, I like answers which are graphically illustrated and interactive. It facilitates and enhances the learning of the necessary skills to accomplish a specific task. After all, a picture can certainly paint a thousand words. Thank you Joe for making this so much easier for me.
