Jamal,
How can I know if a tiff file I have is a "compressed" tiff or an
"uncompressed" one (if such a thing exists)?

Sorry, I don't know what happened to the reply I tried to send to you the
next day after getting your message. Unfortunately, I got fatal execution
errors. There were two tasks I tried. One was to use the free NirCmd.exe
utility to create a .tif snapshot of a window and than try to get text
from it. The other was to drop in your tesseract.exe for an older,
minimalist one that I include with PDF2TXT.
Here is more info on how to replicate what I was testing. NirCmd is
available at
NirCmd - Windows command line tool
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
The syntax is
NirCmd.exe Save ScreenShotWin FileName.tif
PDF2TXT is available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/p2tsetup.exe
tesseract.exe is located by default in the directory
C:\PDF2TXT\OCR
In the PDF2TXT dialog, you can press Alt+F to check the Image Format
checkbox, which then causes the program to attempt OCR rather than
other text extraction methods.
Let me know if you have more questions. I'm copying this message to the
ProgrammingBlind list as well in case anyone thesere wants to try these
tests.
