Publisher's Description
From Web Lite Solutions:
PDF OCR X is a simple drag-and-drop utility for Mac OS X, that converts your PDFs and images into text or searchable PDF documents. It uses advanced OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract the text of the PDF (or image) even if that text is contained in an image. This is particularly useful for dealing with PDFs and images that were created via a Scan-to-PDF function in a scanner or photo copier. Supports over 20 languages for OCR. The OCR engine is based on Tesseract. The Community Edition supports single page PDFs (or the first page of multi-page PDFs). For multi-page PDF support you should upgrade to the Enterprise Edition.
What's new in this version: Improved compatibility with OS X 10.5

"accurate but slow; only does 1st page"
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.32
Pros
free, good for simple pdfs with blocks of text and no tabbed columns
Cons
not fast; community edition only does the first page; not good for complex structured pdfs, doesn't put in tabs between columns (doesn't keep columns either)
Summary
a freeby for single page simple pdfs - but if that's all you want then use a pdf reader like Skim
-
"Garbage. Don't pay for it."
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.32
Pros
I'll let you know.
Cons
Copy and Paste did a better job.
Summary
I'll consider it a bad investment. You've been warned.
-
"Only one page unless you pay"
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.32
Pros
Converted all text.
Cons
No formatting, jut text leaving everything to be formatted. Just as well re-type the information.
-
"Barely qualifies as trialware. Just an advertisement."
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.32
Pros
I have no idea. Scanned one page of a document, and that page had no text.
Cons
Bait & switch, it's a extremely large advertisement for their pay edition. Barely qualifies as trialware, just a waste of time.

"Amazing FREE OCR Program"
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.32
Pros
It's FREE and does a great job. Only lets you do one page but again, it's FREE! Gets 99% of the text!
Cons
Nothing really. Not even the $30 upgrade price to the full version! Well worth it!
Summary
It does the job it needs to do. It does only do one page but it does a great job! Picks up 99% of all the text and then some. Worth the extra $30 to get multiple page PDF's. Great investment! Highly recommended!
