Ibrahim, at the risk of turning the list into a Fine Reader fan club, I 
couldn't agree more. Accurate OCR of documents, .pdf etc. Is central to my work 
and administrative duties (sigh) so I decided in the end it was worth paying 
something rather than fighting with bloat-ware and blind-unfriendly interfaces 
for a less reliable result. 

I notice there's also a feature for converting into e-book formats which might 
be worth investigating.

Best wishes and thanks for the advice,

Robert

Hi Robert.

I don't think you will regret your decision, fine readeris one of the best 
packages I've ever used and I have used Abby fine reader for some years now. 
Good luck and have a great day.
