Re: Xy3 - reference manuals




Myron,

≪Scan-to-pdf programs start with an image file and then run an OCR
routine on the image to produce a PDF that contains searchable text.
Acrobat does this. If you don't run the OCR part of the process, you end
up with pure image files.≫

I have scanned from Acrobat 5.0 full version (not Reader) and all I get
is an image file, noneditable and nonsearchable. The OCR routine
appears, as you described, in version 6.0, but is a multi-mouse-click
process for each page. It is extremely tedious (without even
proofreading); I don't want to do this for several hundred pages of text.
