I finally got around to installing this program, and it works
great. Thanks Peter. It can also transform a screwed up PDF
file's non-working search function into a searchable PDF.
There's something odd though. First, Acrobat Exchange no longer
works. I can't open any PDF file with it, every time I try it
says it can't find the file!! I also can't even open up the
program. Another thing is now when I try and open PDF
Transformer, it's says it's expired! I just installed it! I
was under the impressing it did not time out, and like it says
it will only convert a 50 page PDF file or the first 50 pages
of it. Obviously it's only good for one use! [Later] I found
a "fix" for it. ;-)

I have a 45 mb pdf of a subway map, it's a 4 page foldout of an
image
with a legend. But it is also zoomable.
So even when it is at 500% it is still only 4 pages. Maybe you
have some
images which are very heavy?
ABBYY has had my one email for some 6 years now and I haven't
been
spammed at it yet. Perhaps you are a better spam magnet than I
;)
Happy Winter Solstice!
