s/w for ocr to pdf
Most ocr s/w I see transfers the text to a document. Is there program
that will retain the formatting and graphics of the document and place ocr in a hidden part of the document. This way I can scan to pdf and it would look like the original document except I'd also have the open of search for keywords that would show up in the ocr part. My main problem is performing ocr on handwritten text and I'd prefer the ocr just perform on the type written text that it can easily read. Thanks, Pete |

Thanks, Pete The bundled OCR software that is included with some scanners is limited in capabilities. If you use really good OCR software, you can scan a document, convert to editable text and retain the original formatting and graphics. Especially if you save to PDF with image substitutes. OmniPage Pro 15 and above will do this. (I own OmniPage Pro 15) I have never used Abbyy Finereader OCR, but it claims to retain the formatting and graphics also.
