Thanks. I had used FineReader for OCRing dual page scans but I never tried it on a scan with dual columns.
On the other hand, there are already OCRed pdfs with dual column layout preserved. I'm not sure what to do with them. I know there are some commercial pdf converters that can supposedly handle dual columns.
Calibre converter has the new pdf converting engine which also supposedly handles dual columns but I tried it and the converter just breaks when this new engine is specified.
