There is the JAWS 16 convenient OCR feature. I'm not sure how it would
handle large pdf's, but it's fine on smaller ones such as letters. I'd like
if it could handle mixed-format pdf's, i.e., those containing images of text
and straight text. I put that forward to FS, and it may have been passed on
to whomever is responsible for developing the document OCR.
(To be clear, I'd distinguish between 'graphic' and 'image' pdf's. Graphic
could refer to purely pictorial, with no text in it.)

Thanks, Flor! I knew about Open Bok and Kurzweil, of course, but not the
others. I'm not so much looking for ways to scan material from print and
read it as I am to be able to convert graphic PDF files to text PDF files
that I can read, if that is even possible. But I'll look into some of those
off the shelf packages, (smile).
