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.

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.
