Print the PDF to this virtual Printer and the resulting tiff file should open in Microsoft document Imaging. Go the tools menu and perform OCR. Then go the tools menu again and select send text to word.

This would be great accept the type of PDF books they are using are Image PDF not Text based PDF. They recommended I buy open book or kurzwel to convert the documents. I do not have that type of money on hand. Besides the PDF documents are password protected. I don't know of any OCR that will work with protected PDF. So, presuming the college cannot find another option, How do I deal with these PDF Textbooks. They are even worse then the regular print one's. At least the OCR software I have can scan those. The person at the college is doing their best but they appear to have limited resources. Well, any way I would appreciate any ideas on how to over come the document conversion issue.
