This is true but if the document is poor to begin with, the results won't be good.

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] Scanned PDF documents and JAWS
Hi listers,
Not 100% sure about Kurzweil, but in OpenBook, you can open PDF's directly and have it run them through OCR. You need not print and rescan the document. I believe Kurzweil may have a similar feature.
And this should work better than the JAWS quick OCR feature which, at least in my experience, is less than wonderful.
