Subject: Re: OT: Help getting PDF to OCR or searchable form<br>
<br>
Additional information....<br>
<br>
I talked to the user and got some history...<br>
<br>
The user scanned in legal documents. Saved the images as pages in a PDF.<br>
That is why I can't search on keywords for most of the files. A few files<br>
were typed up and then exported as PDF. most are images of the pages. That<br>
means that OCR has to be part of the solution.<br>
<br>
I discovered that Adobe Acobat Reader has a setting to search all PDFs in a<br>
directory for keywords. The problem is that these files don't contain text.<br>
They contain images of text. Adobe can't search images and find keywords.<br>
