also, when i commented about getting good results by converting the original scans to rtf, and then creating a pdf from that, i found that i got the same result by choosing the saving mode option in abbyy fine "text and pictures only" so 2 steps weren't necessary afterall.

i was using the option "text under the page image" which saves the entire page as an image, i guess that explains why i wasn't getting that nice digital text i wanted

anyway, i dunno, i guess the only way to learn is to screw around with it for 10 years.

i have managed to make a pretty decent ebook from a scanned-in rough, but i dont like the table of contents that abbyy made, anyone know, of another program i can use to generate a table of contents for the book i made?

thanks
