Hi, DD Harriman

I have many two-column PDF books. I tried using papercrop software. The end result is a very readable, image-quality file. BUT it's huge. If the original pdf file is about one meg, the output papercrop file will be 18 megs.

But you gave me one idea. I could use OCR to transcribe these images to text again. Could you confirm me this is possible without any scanner, only with the OCR software or I misunderstood something ?

Thanks for your help.
