What is ACP file?

The file extension ACP marks so-called paper capture files of the Adobe Acrobat document software. Paper Capture is a plugin for Acrobat, which allows the user to process pdf with image texts (for example scanned pages) with a character recognition (OCR, Optical Character Recognition) and to create a text pdf document.

For each page of the original document, an ACP file is created, which can then be loaded into the Quick-Fix correction function or to link the pages to a document.

Newer Adobe Acrobat versions have the OCR function built in and no longer need the plugin Paper Capture.
