I don't seem to have "Microsoft Office Document Imaging" (I have vista/97)

I have found that it is due to background color or background images.


The documents are actually very good quality- no background images or noise whatsoever. The text is all perfectly clear, with no fuzzy patches at all.

extract text from PDF, if available


No can do!

Even a freeware OCR should have an option to draw (mark) recognition areas manually


Yes, mine does, but all of the areas that it misses are well within the marked area.


For further illustration = if I printed off this post, and tried to OCR it, it would miss out, say, every other paragraph. Completely miss it, leaving nothing but blank page (not even an image put in place of text).

Curioser and curioser...
