Adobe - Optical Character Recognition & Exporting to Excel
When you create an Acrobat Document (PDF) from Word, the actual text of what was written is stored in that document. This allows the user to select text so it can copied and pasted into another document. It also allows newer versions of Microsoft Word to open that file so you can edit it. (Side note: While this works, Word doesn’t do a great job of preserving the formatting). However, when paper documents are scanned into a computer, the PDF file is created using an image, without the actual text.
Without the embedded text, the you can’t copy and paste, you can’t open the file in Word for editing and, perhaps most importantly, the document can’t be searched. Fortunately, Acrobat can analyze the picture, recognize the text and add it to the document.
Here’s how…..
We’ll use a sample document that was printed out and scanned in. The PDF document has been embedded so you can try it yourself.
Open the file and you’ll see the chart of numbers below. If you try to select the text you’ll find that you can’t…..
Scan Text with OCR (Optimal Character Recognition)
Click Tools and then Scan & OCR
Now click Recognize Text and then In this File:
Then click the Recognize Text Button
Acrobat will then recognize the text. Try highlighting, copying and pasting the text. You’ll see that now, you can!
Since this is a chart of numbers you might want to paste it into Excel.
Go ahead….Try it. You’ll get something that looks like the picture below, which isn’t all that useful.
Export Data into Excel
Fortunately, Acrobat has a better way to get your document into excel.
In Acrobat, if you choose File > Export To > Spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Workbook, you’ll be able to save the contents as a spreadsheet and open it in Excel.
As you can see, the result is much more useful:
One caveat that you should be aware of is that this process isn’t perfect. Acrobat is “reading” the text by looking at the lines in the document. If the scan isn’t clear, has smudges, watermarks or is distorted in any way, the software can read the document incorrectly. When working with text, this typically isn’t a big problem because spell check will catch most of the errors. However, when working with numbers, it’s important to verify that everything worked properly.

Configuring Single Number Reach Option on Cisco Phones
- Working Remotely Type: General
Single Number Reach works similar to call forwarding, but it allows for both your office phone and your mobile phone to ring which may be preferable for a hybrid work situation. When just call forwarding is setup, only the number that the calls are forwarded to will ring.
To configure Single Number Reach, go to Cisco's Self Care Portal and login with your NetID username and password:
Once logged into the MyPhone site, click on the + button under “Additional Phones”:
Enter in your mobile phone number and check the box for “Enable Single Number Reach”. When this option is checked and someone calls your office phone line, it will ring your office line first and then also ring your mobile phone so that the call can be answered from either line.
If you want to specify work hours for Single Number Reach, then click on the box with the + on it next to “Work Hours”. Here you can specify which days and times Single Number Reach is active. If your office line is called outside of these specified work hours then your mobile phone will not ring and the person calling will get your voicemail if no one picks up.
To change the amount of time to wait until your mobile number starts ringing, click on the “Advanced call timing” link at the bottom of the Additional Phone options. Adjust these settings as needed, but only change them if you are experiencing problems.
Remember to disable Single Number Reach if you will be out of the office for vacation, illness, etc. Single Number Reach can be temporarily disabled by going to the “Work Hours” setting and unchecking the days of the week that you will not be working. When you return to work, go back to Cisco's Self Care Portal and re-enable the work hour schedule for Single Number Reach.

ESL/ITA Tracking System
- Description:
This system is designed to track the ESL testing process for students/TAs. The system has a student facing interface, an administrative interface and a department interface. This system was created to quickly replace an insecure .net application that was originally tracking ITA information. The previous system was hosted off-site (non-RU) by an external vendor. There are three main functions that the system aims to handle:
- Student Functions: Signup for test, review test results, manage login credentials.
- Administrative Functions: Manage users, designate department viewers, input test results, create test schedules, manage student records, run reports.
- Department Functions: View student test results for a given department.
- Department / Unit: SAS English/English Writing Program, All SAS Departments/Programs
