Actually, both the Kurzweil Virtual Printer and Open Book's Freedom Import Printer function in that way. It is as if you placed each pdf page on the scanner.

The recognize images option in both programs, which at least in the older versions OpenBook did better on is to convert a .tif or .Jpeg image and try to recognize the text contained in the image.

However, in Kurzweil 1000 Omnipage's ScanSoft has the option to recognize pdf images, which it will do if you want.

A similar option is available in Kurzweil, not in Omni that I'm aware of, at least up to Omni 15. ----- Original Message -----

Tom,

Is this option available with other OCR programs, i.e.
OmniPage Pro, or is this something only available if one has
Open Book installed.

Open Book has this capability.
When you are in Adobe, use Control P to print.
But instead of the default printer, you should find, Freedom
Import
Printer.
When you choose this printer to print to, Open Book will
start, scan the
pdf file as if it were a paper file in your scanner, and
hopefully leave
you with readable text.
Be patient, it may take a couple minutes for Open Book to
boot and start
scanning.
Blessings,
Tom

I have a very old version of Openbook, like version 6.0, I
think.  I
don't
know if it had that capability.

So there is something there, it's just not visible to
JAWS?

I HAD A THOUGHT!  No. Wait. False alarm.
