[blindLaw] Preserving bookmarks when OCR-ing PDFs

[rjaquiss]

Hello:

     I think you can get a demo of Kurzweil K1000. The last I knew, it will
run for 30 days. In this way, you can see if it works. Be sure you know your
license key for Finereader. Since both packages use Finereader, the software
could get messed up and you would need to remove and reinstall FineReader.
Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert

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.
