[blindLaw] Preserving bookmarks when OCR-ing PDFs

[Rahul Bajaj]

Thanks, Dennis. Very helpful. I do not as yet have Kurzweil. Perhaps I
should purchase it, if it can solve the problem of preserving
bookmarks.

Is there any way at all to preserve bookmarks in ABBYY? If so, it will
save me the trouble of having to purchase Kurzweil just for this one
reason.
