I don't know what the practical size limit is, but you can start reading with 
the conversion in process.  Just make sure it's all done before trying to copy 
to the clipboard.  That old Kenwood manual was pretty large, compared to the 
average newsletter or memo yu're liable to encounter at the office.

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).
