Hi Chris, Hmmmm....I don't really know what is available for Windows users in that regard. What I've done on Linux to resolve that problem in the past is run the pdf document through a program called PDF To HTML which converts any text in the document to html, and if there is no text it will extract the images in the pdf to jpg files.Once the images are extracted I then open them up in Simple Scan, that's a free and open source OCR program for Linux, which will convert the jpg images to text files. Unfortunately, I don't know if there is a port of Simple Scan for Windows users or not but I've seen copies of PDF To HTML floating around. So if you are looking for free OCR programs you might look and see if there is a port of Simple Scan for Windows.
Cheers!
