Yes if you have Open Book or Kurzweil software, you can do OCR on these
documents. You can either open the PDF file directly in Open Book, or from
within Adobe, you can print the document to the Freedom Import Printer
which loads Open Book and then does OCR on the document.

Subject: [VICUG-L] pdf image files

I am running across more and more .pdf files which are saved as images
rather than text.
When opening them with Acrobat or other pdf readers, all I get is a blank.
Is there some way of getting at the text content of these files?

Thanks!
