Part of it depends if it is a true PDF with the source text imbedded in it somewhere or if it is a PDF of the scanned image.

Try opening it up with a text editor/viewer and look to see if you can find some of the body text.

If you cannot, then it is a PDF-ified image and OCR is your only hope.

A friend gave me a CD of several files to convert to text. Unfortunately, they are scanned image files, each with many pages. I've tried a number of Mac and windoze programs but still end up with a graphic of the text. Is there a "reasonably" easy way to get these graphics into text? (I don't have an OCR program.)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Lynn
