Neville,

When you say "pages" does that mean a brandname product ?

I only see 3 possible roads to a solution:

- Make PDF's that contain text, apart from a graphical page image, and 
use the Adobe products to edit the PDF's.

OR

- Run OCR such as Visioneer Paperport on the PDF's.  If you want, mail me 
an example, and I will see what I can make of it.

OR

- Find someone (maybe in a school) who is running ImageWriter I or II 
printers on Mac, or even daisywheel printer (?) and check if the 
printfile generated by that printer driver contains the text.

I have no clue whether you are a tech guy or not.  Picking up the print 
file was always possible under Mac OS with a keyboard shortcut.

BUT: option 3 will not work if your PDF does not contain the text 'as 
text' but only a photo image of the page.

It is one of the things I hate about the Adobe marketing; they do not 
stress enough that their PDF standard is a binder/wrapper just like 
Quicktime is, and inside can be several different formats.

The OCR is then a valid replacement; although you will have to correct 
some typo's.

PS:  Wouldn't it be great if someone finds a map an indicates with a dot 
and initials where we all are, to get a better idea of time difference..
Some of you suddenly start talking when I think you are asleep.  
Absorbing the reply mails then make it into a bad dream maybe :-)
