Peter,The application Microsoft Office Document Imaging is part of Microsoft Office Tools. However it is set up to handle tiff images, so to operate on pdf it is necessary to copy the document to the clipboard, then paste it into Document Imaging.
Sending the document to Word then automatically runs it through an OCR engine, in this case not very successfully. Jamal's typed document image gives a Word file with one or two words per line recognisable as English.

What OCR facilities are built into MS Word and where do you find this? I wasn't aware MS Word had such a capability. -- Pete
