What's a good free tool for turning scanned pages into a PDF?
I see that Adobe now has a product called Adobe Acrobat Capture that
seems like it would be perfect for turning old manuals into PDFs.
They claim that it can create documents of these types:
- PDF image only -- similar to the PDFs on bitsavers
- PDF searchable image -- the pages are shown as images, but are OCRed
into a hidden text layer so that you can search a document that
looks like images
- PDF formatted text+images -- text is OCR'ed and non-text portions of
the document are kept as image layers
- HTML
- ASCII
Does anyone have familiarity with this Capture product? Its only $99
when purchased as a download.
