Hi all,

just bought a new scanner from canon. A part of the scanner software is the so called "Toolbox". It creates PDF's with the Version 1.3 and the identified text in it using a ocr component.
If selecting the text in Acrobat Reader 6 all is well. Here a sample Part in german, sorry:
Durch die Erh�hung der Mehrwertsteuer um drei Prozentpunkte erh�ht sich der Bruttopreis

If doing the same in Reader 7 or 8 the Text looks like this:
Durchd ie Erh�hungd er Mehrwertsteueru m drei Prozentpunktee rh�ht sichd er Bruttopreis

The search in 7 and 8 is not able to find the word "erh�ht" for example.

Whats wrong ?

Is the file corrupt ?
Is the Reader not downward compatible ?
Or is there any option to change ?

The german canon support told me that it could'nt be their problem.

thanks a lot for your help
