Hi,

Could you please tell me how to find the checkbox where I set to OCR?

This might be a stupid question but I can't find it.

Thanks for your help.

Bob

  did you check the checkbox for using the OCR function in PDF2TXT? and then 
try scanning it, it sounds like this is the age old problem of a scanned image 
used to create the .PDF, instead of a text document, and will require OCR to 
read it if it's possible to do at all.
