Hi Lora,
If you have Microsoft Office Imaging on your computer, you could gry that.
You could also give a set of files called PDF2OCR a try. I think the link
to download the files is http://www.empowermentzone.com/pdf2ocr.zip.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm trying to use Openbook to OCR a scanned image PDF.  The process ran,
but the OCR was mostly gibberish.

Is there something I should be doing to the PDF before I start the
conversion?

Are there settings in Openbook that would help me get a better OCR of the
PDF?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Lora
