Please note that you would only need Paper Capture if the PDF is currently image-only.  If the PDF already contains text (i.e. all the text is highlighted when you "Select All"), then you don't need OCR.  (I'm pretty sure Paper Capture will refuse to process the document if that's the case.)

this address should send you straight to where you can download the paper capture plug-in for use with Acrobat 5.0 / 5.05

This is a fairly big file. Maybe 14 megs or so.  Installation is a snap.  If you are processing a large number of PDF files using the Paper Capture Plug-in, you might consider AutoCapture-X or AutoCapture-X-Pro - which automates the Paper Capture Plug-in.   You can find them at

 The OCR capability built into Acrobat 6.0 (paper capture) is very  good. (The same process is also available in Acrobat 5.0 but you need to install the paper capture plug-in which is a free download from Adobe)  You could export the text produced by the OCR process and edit that in Word and re-create a PDF from Word. Steve Harris
