On this subject, I currently do not have a scanner which is supported on the mac, but is the only way to get readable text out of a PDF document which has been scanned and put into a pdf file, to run it through OCR software? I have a manual for a yamaha keyboard which I recently got, and unfortunately, it's one of those PDF files, in which when trying to read it, all I get is something like image, PDF thumbnail, image, pdf thumbnail. Had somebody sighted take a look at the screen, and they could actually see text, which I could not get at with VO. So is there any way, other than getting something like read Iris, and paying for what its worth, to get readable text out of this PDF? On Mar 17, 2009, at 9:41 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote:
Usually, you can just open the PDF file in preview, then interact with the scroll area and read away.
