Adobe PDF Documents from Paper

Greetings Everyone:

Since we have discussed Adobe PDF on this list in the past, I thought I'd
mention that there is a brief description of the Acrobat Capture product
in the July PC Computing on print page 96, braille page 115. This is the
product that I mentioned in a previous message that preserves the
appearance of a scanned document while performing OCR to permit searching
and indexing. Since all indications are that we will eventually be able
to access PDF documents, this approach appears to be our best chance not
to be condemned to wholesale scanning of paper documents into bit-maps.
