I have not had any issues downloading OmniPage from the nuance site.
Keep in mind Tom that if the document is not a genuine PDF file, than JAWS will not read it. Some people skip the OCR process and simply scan the document and save it as a PDF file, thereby creating nothing more than a picture with a PDF file extension instead of JPG or BPM or TIF. 
HTH.

Hi, all.

A computer tech where I work informed me today that she tried to download
Omnipage 16, to see if it would help me read scanned PDF files, and she had
no luck in doing so.

I have been busy with grants and funding proposals, and have not been able
to try the program myself yet, but I am wondering if we are missing certain
steps to make the conversions happen.

She said also that she had tried to download a demo of Omnipage 17, thinking
that that might work better, but she couldn't find a link to the demo.

Do you guys have any suggestions as to how we might proceed with Omnipage
and the PDF conversions for scanned image PDF files?

Thanks!
