Dear Leonard Rosenthal,

How did find out what OCR engine is running beneath Adobe Acrobat 6.0?  I am 
interested in the various Document Capture technology products but I can never find 
out what engines they are running?  Is there a source of information that I am missing?

Thanks,
Sam Brenner

        First, I only said it was better than 5.0 ;).

        However, under certain circumstances, it is EXACTLY the same 
as FineReader 6 since that's the engine being used!   Paper Capture 
uses multiple engines based on internally determined criteria 
(language, quality, platform, etc.) - one of those engines is the 
Abbyy FineReader one.

        It runs slowly on color, works much better on B&W.
