I have thousands of forms equivalent to invoices that I'd like to put into
a database. I'm thinking I would like to have some OCR app/tool scan these
forms, and then generate a CSV with each field. Does anyone have
recommendations on software for this?

if Finereader runs
under
emulator though. If the file is already a PDF and 72 DPI with
text
as
graphics most of the damage has already been done, and it will be
extremely hard to OCR.
well, damage is probably done. how can i check the
resolution?

I have seen good results with tesseract which is in the ports and free.
Otherwise with OmniPage

i tried to increase it by creating huge ppm and tif files, but
then that's really absurd since there can only be just so much

guys,
well, i'm ashamed to admit that i've put at least a dozen hours in
trying, then re-re-retrying to OCR a imaged pdf file with as many
open source ocr packages as i can find. before i quit for supper
tonight, i finally threw in the towel. realized than i would have
been THROUGH with all
of .jpg/.gif/.whatever. Read the manual carefully before
attempting; also note this can be a slow process.
Which still doesn't give plain text. But in this case one would need an
OCR app.
There is a new one available in ports called cuneiform. It is supposed
to be quite good, but I haven't had

Please define fail
'pypdf' to split a multipage
PDF scan into individual pages, then used the tesseract OCR to convert
to text. Not 100% of course, and it really got confused by pages that
were not right-side-up, but not a bad start for pages that are really
scans -- images -- rather than PDF representation

there is no text for pdftotext to convert = epic fail.
In this case convert from the ImageMagick port will get you a
