To convert to PDF, I normally use ABBYY FineReader
5.0, a
very nice bit of OCR software. It preserves layout well, does
near-font conversion of readables, and includes images of
whatever is questionable.
From my pov, the most interesting question
is how
close to 100% correct conversion
does it manage to do? Give an A4 (or US Letter)
page full of text, how many errors (i.e. incorrect
letter or punctuation mark) would you expect to
see after proof-reading manually? (Questionable
usages where the character is inserted as an
image don't really count since there is no
"loss" of information ... they don't help
reduce the size either though).
Does it take PDF wrapped around TIFF as an input?
