I haven't actually used it extensively yet.

Thanks for responding. I have used Acrobat Pro. It actually does do a text conversion, it is just that it is on a hidden layer. You can check that layer through 'examine document' from the menu. One way to check to see how well it is done is to select the greek words and paste them somewhere else. That gives you a fairly good idea of how good a job was done by the ocr. In my case, it was pretty bad, that's why I started trying other ocr software.
