One can download Acrobat 9 from their web site and try it for a month for free.
Disappointingly, the accuracy of the recognition itself is not better with this clearscan option, it's just the look. However, thanks to the zoomable (vector) nature of the clearscan characters, if you convert a clearscan pdf back to image format in higher resolution e.g. 600 dpi (this can be set in edit>preferences>convert from pdf>TIFF>edit settings), make a new pdf from that, and re-do an OCR on it, interestingly the recognition accuracy is improved, at least it seemed to be in the couple trials I have done. If this is confirmed, hopefully they will realize this and automate the two pass OCR in version 10.
