I have tried both ReadIris Pro and OmniPage Pro, and reluctantly reverted to Acrobat. I would tell you why, but I've already blacked it out.
Actually, I do remember that ReadIris had a pretty good interface, and more control over what regions of the page are scanned. For instance, you can have it stop after identifying the regions of the page, and then specify specific areas to be skipped, or changed from "graphic" regions to "text" or "table" regions. I had a lot of trouble with it crashing, though, and I kept having to go to Acrobat to do other tasks on the same PDF. The OCR quality on Acrobat seems as good or better, and it's pretty reliable, although the interface is excruciating. Acrobat has MUCH more control over optimization levels, if you care about such things. Once I started using it regularly for PDF OCR work and optimization, I got a routine going, and it's pretty quick and smooth now. I tried OmniPage for a couple of days, but it was no improvement.
