So I was wondering if anyone here who has an Apple Silicon Mac would be willing to repeat the benchmark and post your results here.

However, AFAIK, the OCR is single-threaded, and doesn't use the GPU, so it's surprising there is a difference, since both devices have the same single-threaded CPU performance Two users reponded, one with an M1 Max and another with an M1 Ultra, and got times of 45 s and 36 s, respectively, meaning the Ultra was 45/36 => 25% faster.

I still have no idea why this is happening, but glad to see it gone.I was curious about the performance of the Optical Character Reader (OCR) in Adobe Acrobat Pro on Apple Silicon, so I created a quick benchmark and posted it on another site. Note: You may have to dismiss and close the last warning message if you have not already done this. Then under the Screen Reader Option, select “only read the currently visible pages” With the program open, click the menu “Adobe Pro DC” in the top left corner.įrom the menu on the left side, select “Reading” (We like things simple, that is why we purchased a computer that works). So naturally I though I would make it simple for MAC users. Select the “Screen Reader Options” section, select the “Only read the currently visible pages” option from the dropdown menu. Open Acrobat Reader and hit Ctrl+K (or Select “Edit” then “Preferences” from the drop-down menu)Ĭlick on the “Reading” tab under the “Categories” column on the left. Most of the instruction around the place are for a Windows PC and read something like this:Īll you have to is change a quick setting: Even on a single page of text, the progress bar does nothing. It is particularly annoying and does not appear to be associated with any actual action. So I am on a Mac, and recently I noticed that an update to the Adobe DC makes the application display this little annoying message every time you open a PDF document of any size.
