The document I was reading was sent to me as a scanned image PDF. On my current set up, Vue Scan scans as a PDF and then read iris does the OCR and recognition, saving the OCRED document as an RTF, which I can open in pages. I looked at Abby Fine Reader, but I read that you can only scan one page at a time and couldn't do multiple page documents. T.J.

I'm curious as to why you create PDFs in the first place. It's the worst format for reading on the Mac. Also, why ReadIris? ABBYY FineReader is a much better OCR program.

I was doing that on a document this morning, and I got a message saying pages could not open the document. I've tried rebooting my machine and repeating thesave and recognize procedure from within read iris multiple times. I even closed all my open documents in pages. None of these steps have corrected the problem.
