Hi Stephen
As we already have the framemaker source files its seems inefficient to
go via raster and OCR and back. I think that XSLT applied to mif2xml is
going to be a better plan, unless I find that the mif2lyx script can be
used, in which case that would be best.
Sounds like an interesting project though.
Cheers
JP

I thought you might have a chance with Infty
http://www.inftyproject.org/en/demo.html#0002
"3. Online Recognition Test of InftyReader Ver.2.4.3d
You can test the recognition of YOUR math documents by InftyReader,
ONLINE,. Click HERE"
SH: You can use Omnipage Pro(or other?) to convert your docs
to png or tiff. Infty claims that it can convert those formats at
400 or 600 dpi to several formats including tex. I tested the Online
conversion with English selected and it used Japanese anyway. I
download Infty and it output tex but only a soso (English) conversion.
One can also save pdf as ps. I've seen ps2html and html2latex
scripts but they appear to have been abandoned, hard to find. I think
your best chance is an OCR/image conversion to latex.

I've had some success using Acrobat's Snapshot tool which
can copy a table and be saved ->->as an image file. Perhaps that could
be inserted as a LyX graphic, if that helps at all.

OCR breaks even at 94% accuracy (or rekey),
