Here are my steps (which are more than is strictly necessary, I know, but it leaves individual image files for saving as a CBR if I want)
1.) Scan as BMPs with Book Pilot
2.) Make JPG copies of the BMPs (can be done as a batch with
ACDSee, I use version 2.44 but there are much more recent versions) with a setting of 60% quality for the JPGs
3.) Combine the JPGs into a PDF with
PDFCreator
4.) OCR that in Finereader v9
