I suspect it would work to send the image to your scanner by way of the virtual
printer. (That's what Kurzweil calls it, I forget openbook's terminology).
I used to do this whith websites that had page images for book pages. But, you
have to be pretty desparate because the results are pretty full of scannos. I
felt pretty good if I got 40% recognition rate.
But, that's a workable solution for one or two pages, and certainly worth a try.

I am not sure if the "print screen" trick works with a Mac. You could try it
and see. All it does is paste the graphic of your screen to the clipboard,
which you can then paste into a word document or a graphics program like paint
or another image program that might come with mac software. You may even be
able to paste an image directly into your scanning software (I may be able to
do that too, I don't know. I've never played around with it enough to know for
sure).
Just hit print screen, open up word, and then paste and see what you get. If
you get an image of what was on your screen, then you know it will work for you.
