[wdvltalk] Re: Converting image PDF to RTF...
Does your scanner have an OCR option? If so, I would try that so that it scans it in as text instead of an image. You may have to make some corrections though. It's been a while since I used OCR with a scanner, but I do remember having to make some corrections to the text. The OCR did not recognize some letters correctly and replaced them with a different character or a number. I'm sure the technology has improved in the last 4 years. Good luck!

You may be able to salvage it if you save as a TIFF file from Acrobat. Then you can OCR the TIFF file...maybe... -Original Message- From: Janet Russeau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 10:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: Converting image PDF to RTF...

We use Abby Fine Reader 6.0 to scan our text through the scanner and it does a pretty good job. Try the trial version and see if you like it. I agree what Janet said about proofing it again but it makes it easy in Abby Fine reader as it opens two windows where you can look at the actual page as well as proof. It auto detects some spelling errors too. Anitha >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/15/03 10:03AM >>> You may be able to salvage it if you save as a TIFF file from Acrobat.

[wdvltalk] Re: Converting image PDF to RTF...
Thanks all, I like the idea baout 'OCR - ing' the images with Fine Reader. On the other hand, there's NO WAY I'm gonna scan all the pages again... That's 700 pages in all. I've got my share of scanning lol !!!

Scansoft has a beta PDF to Word available. I don't have a url for it but you might could find it on their site or at least a phone number to find out if you can get the beta. >From Word to RTF is easy. Even if you don't have Word there are dozens of free/almost free programs out there that read/convert Word docs. Cheryl D.
