I'm sorry if my questions seemed a bit unclear and unfocused.
You have actually answered them both, and very effectively.
My first question was about downloading omnipage, since the tech had trouble
getting access to a demo version of Omnipage 17.
My second question was whether such a program could read scanned image PDF
files.
I'll try your suggested approach tomorrow with Omnipage 16, and see if it
works.
Thanks!

aTom,
You talk about problems downloading OmniPage and converting PDF files in the
same breath, so it's hard to understand what you're asking. A few thoughts:
1. I had great difficulty registering OmniPage once downloaded, which itself
is a simple procedure. If registering is your problem, I suggest you call
Nuance's customer service at 800-654-1187. The man I spoke to was very
helpful.
2. If your problem is with conversion, don't even bother opening OmniPage.
Instead, put focus on the file, don't open it, and press the applications
key. Arrow down to OmniPage, press enter and arrow down to see your options.
3. I use OmniPage 17. No reason you shouldn't have the current version.

Subject: Omnipage question
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!
