If Acrobat Paper Capture uses FineReader 6,
I didn't say it used it ALL the time, I said it uses it under certain circumstances. For example, as Max (who works for you ;) noted, it is used for non-Roman OCR on Windows. On Mac OS, it's used more often but not 100% there either...
We've looked at thousands of documents and, with statistical consistently, Acrobat's OCR underperforms both ScanSoft OmniPage Pro 12 and Abbyy FineReader by very wide margins.
I don't disagree with you! Both of those are MUCH better professional OCR solutions - and I would recommend them in a heartbeat over using Capture for serious OCR.
But Capture works nicely for what it is designed for - the occasional OCR job on a received fax or the like! It is NOT designed to replace the dedicated tools...
In addition, the Acrobat Paper Capture-generated hidden text-layer is about 5x-7x larger than the hidden-text layer generated by CVISION's PdfCompressor 2.1.
Yes, Adobe and I have been discussing some interesting things that can be done with hidden text to keep the size down AND still produce documents that are complaint with modern standards such as PDF/X and PDF/A.
