In my case, it was pretty bad, that's why I started trying other ocr software.

Yeah, I noticed when I copied the Greek text it was really screwed up. But one thing I discovered was that if I needed to search for a Greek word, I could copy it and paste the garbled mess into the "find" window, and it would actually find the word. So the "mess" isn't simply a mess. It does maintain the Greek in there somewhere. Now that doesn't help if I need to copy and paste into a document, but I have other ways to do that, so that's not a problem for me.
