hey, i do not have a scanner for the computer. in finereader express you can inport more than one pdf document how ever, it will put all the OCR text into one big document. if i use finreader pro this is what i do: say i have 5 documents with the names doc one to 5.pdf. i inport the 5 files into finereader pro. finereader will ad and OCR eatch page of the documents. i then go into file menue and hit save as. finereader will then save a copy of the 5 documents i inported into the program in another format so, you have doc 1.html and so on in what ever format you like to use. that is all there is to it. i believe a user on the list ann? sorry if that spelling is wrong knows more about this stuff than i do.
hope this helped a bit.
