If you have only paper copies, let Omnipage rescan them with its own settings, as your TIF scans may not be of optimal resolution and/or color/gray scale depth.

Remember, OCR is not 100% accurate. What can be converted will be searchable, what can't will remain a picture with the text in it for you to still view, but not search.

OCR programs do what they can to retain your original format, but they aren't perfect.

I understand. The OCR program (and I don't know what it is or how to find out) is working very well with very little error. Because it is Vets the pictures have crew members names that I want to be able to search. That is why I cut the pictures as I can type in the names.

I understand the OCR process. The process I do not understand is the conversion to PDF and if PDF has some special option to make the file searchable or not. It seems so from what I have read at their web-page. And I don't know where to go ask. CompUSA etc are not users. Thank you for your input.
