Hi Noam,

this is not an expert's opinion but Adobe Acrobat Professional does a  
decent job in the most recent version. I am not sure whether you can  
find a Mac version of Abby Fine Reader but its OCR is good. I had to  
work with it for some time performing ocr on quite difficult prints.  
With computer generated files the ocr capabilities do not have to be  
highly advanced, though.
HTH,

Alex
