I now have Omnipage pro 15. I'm thinking about moving to version 17. I find that 15 is okay for scanning; but, your remark makes me curious to know. Why do you not care for Omnipage pro 17 as a scanner. What, in view of this, would you recommend instead? Thanks. Sincerely, The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray "Old friend, what are you looking for?

While I don't much like Omnipage 17 for scanning it is the best program for recognizing PDF files I have ever used. I am afraid the$99.00 offer is over.
