Hi yall -- Can someone who has OCR software take my PDF file and turn it into something I can edit, please? It's only two pages long, but I'd rather not type it back in. I see some free OCR software out there, but it's all for a PC and I'm on a Mac. Plus the learning curve, etc (and I'm in a bit of a rush!)

It's an index, and I need to edit in more page numbers, cuz it only indexed half of the project (non work project - genealogy book).

Would this be something I could ask of someone?

Oh, duh. Nevermind. I see I can just CUT n PASTE out of it (previous file didnt' let me). Now I can put it into a text editor. Bye bye!
