Hello GiGi,
I do have PDFPen Pro version 6.3.2.
In some cases PDFPen does give me the option to OCR text, which is
fine. However, in other cases (as in the one described) PDFPen does
not consistently give me the feature to OCR text.
Thus, I am left in a predicament because of my irregular experience
with using PDFPen to OCR text, and the document in question is too
large to simply print and scan with proprietary software.
I have tried using Prizmo on the Macintosh, but the results are not
great. Furthermore, I do observe (at least in this case) that when
trying to open the document in Preview or another program, the
optically recognized text reverts back to "image status," which is
less than ideal because I am back at square one.
Therefore, I am at a loss.
Welcome any feedback concerning my issue.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
