I just got a scanned deposition transcript in low-resolution TIFFs and I must find specific testimony before a motion tomorrow. I can't tell if OCR will misread speaker names or time stamps. Diagnose whether to run automated OCR now, request a better scan, or key portions retype. Recommend the fastest path that preserves accuracy for citation: the OCR settings to use, a minimal verification check I can run in an hour, and a fallback if OCR fails on crucial pages.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Acrobat — not a feature checklist.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
