[HAL9000]

The Abbyy OCR software included free with some scanners can output some reasonably good WYSIWYG-style OCR format in RTF format. MS Word can open the RTF format and display text and images with the original layout. I've been using it to help Mrs. HAL9000 convert her recipes to text format.

Macs have built-in PDF file generation capability in all software applications, through the Print command.

I have a Lexmark printer. Can't find what OCR I am using. How do I look for it? As I stated .rtf results in a huge file. 13 pages saved from Word was 20,000+KB's and I need to be able to save a file that is at least 40 pages long. Maybe I don't understand something?
