I tried it last night with a PDF, and it seems to work. I say, "seems," 
because I know the PDF had underlying text. Still, I seem to remember 
having some weird formatting when I opened it in Adobe, which I didn't 
notice at all in Google Docs. You can save a document from Google Docs 
as a word docx file. I've done it on the computer, but it's so much 
easier to do on the phone that I almost always use the phone when I 
realize I don't remember how to do it on the computer.


You can find other articles on Google Free OCR. One of them says only 10 
pages of pdf are recognized at a time, but I can't speak to that myself.
