I believe the best way to this is to use the tool in Adobe that lets you
select a portion of the document and turn it into a jpg file. Then, load
that jpg into your OCR software and export that into Writer.

and thus was looking for a way to be able to edit and fill in blanks on this

I was thinking that with Openoffice 3.0, there was OCR software so that
one could download a pdf such as one created in Adobe Writer, and be able
to manipulate and edit the document. Is this true?
Hi Wanda,
OpenOffice.org can interact with OCR software, but it does not contain any
such software. Note that if you have a PDF document you should be able to
copy and paste much if the text into OOo. Also Koffice from KDE has PDF
reading as an experimental feature.
