Rob, You're right! This is a semi-hidden feature of Acrobat Pro that I never stumbled across. I have just played with it and it does a superb job.
This exercise reminds me to always get to know all of the menu items in new apps. The online help from Adobe about Acrobat OCR is very thin! I don't have an Acrobat Pro manual either. Will search the DVDs to see if there is one there. I have found electronic versions of the manuals for PhotoShop, Illustrator, and InDesign, but not for Acrobat Pro. Has anyone come across an downloadable manual Acrobat Pro?
