That's a good idea to crop the text areas to be converted before sending off for conversion. I guess my underlying intention was a comparison with Mobipocket Creator, which strips header and footer (most of the time). You still have to keep in mind that the Nuance conversion is for a totally different purpose than the Mobipocket Creator.
I checked the Nuance Free PDF Reader this morning again and it appears that there is no cropping function in the free version. But that can be achieved with other software.
For me personally, the best result is to have a free OCR online. That is good news for all not having the need to spend some hundred Euros (Dollars) for a dedicated OCR software.
The next question is, if it would be possible to send a pdf-file to Nuance without running their free pdf reader. Since this is done through the web browser it should be possible. That would also give everybody not using Windows a chance to use online OCR software. Since I defected to Cupertino its always a hassle to run the irreplaceable Win software like OmniPage. "You can't always get what you want".
I'll give it a try today.
