[Coco] List of copied manuals ready to be scanned - OCR

[Bob Devries]

Fedor,

Adobe Acrobat is capable of OCR also, but it does significantly increase the 
size of the resultant PDF file.
Currently, the scans are graphics only, but there are settings in Acrobat 
which will enable it to be converted in such a way that text can be cut and 
pasted from the PDF.
