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: Fixed issue with PDFs containing some special characters. Also improved compatibility with PDFs that have been cropped or rotated at 270 degrees.

"works perfectly got me"
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.12
Pros
easy to use
converts quicklyCons
some pics cont convert corectly
Summary
Ive needed to scan in printed pages and convert them to plain text.
this program has worked perfectly in recognizing all the characters on my scanned documents. Obviously there will be some formatting to do after the conversion but that's normal,
for a free program this one works great. -
"Worthless Cripple-ware"
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.12
Pros
You can uninstall it fairly quickly.
Cons
Only allows you to do the very first page of a PDF.
Worthless
Should not even get one starSummary
I get it, companies need to make money, but putting out a completely useless app doesn't gain you customers it loses them. Not only have I told two people at work about this horrible, horrible app and pointed them toward Adobe but I stopped my own department from buying the "pro" version and instead we just bought Adobe Acrobat.

"Converting image to text"
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.12
Pros
Works perfectly and accurately. I saw someone write that Apple's TextEdit does the same thing, but if you do a search on a MAC, it says nothing about it. I am glad I found it!
Cons
There is none.
Summary
Download it and enjoy!

"Free and works as advertised!"
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.10
Pros
It is a great free solution for quick OCR jobs. I use it, for example, to grab quick screen shots of blocks of text in Kindle books and quickly paste them to PDF OCR X, and it gives me back the text to put in my notes. Quick and easy!
Cons
Slightly slow for larger chunks of text, but it is free. I might not use it for doing large OCR jobs. It doesn't seem quite as accurate as some Pro OCR products I've used in the past.
Summary
Works quite well and one can't beat the price!

"Great Free One-Page OCR app!"
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.10
Pros
Free for one page scans
It Works!
For multipage version, costs an inexpensive $29.99. Try it on one page first!Cons
Only one page unless you get full version.
Summary
Seems to recognize as well as any program for my needs. I like that it is free for one page scans, as that is what I usually do. I like even more that it is only $29.99 for multipage scans. Easy to use... Just drag your scanned image or pdf file on to the app... typical Mac style.
Thanks guys, for offering this program! -

"Great for one page quick jobs."
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9.2
Pros
Recognition is quite accurate.
Cons
Recognized text can be lost if you don't save it (or copy and paste into a text file) before moving on to another page.
-
"I can do the same with Text Edit."
Version: PDF OCR X Community Edition 1.9
Pros
It's free so that's a plus.
Cons
It only does the first page. They want you to buy the pro version
Summary
Kind of worthless. If you want it buy the pro version.
