[blindLaw] using omnipage to convert pdfs to word

[Brian Unitt]

I use it the same way as Ger, from the file menu as a right click option. I have had a license for Omni-page for the last 5 or so years and find it to be fast, accurate, and pretty easy to use.

Subject: Re: [blindLaw] using omnipage to convert pdfs to word

I prefer Omnipage to Abbyy. I particularly like that I can convert batches of files, directly from Windows Explorer, using an Omnipage sub-menu on the file menu.

Ensure that if you use Omnipage, it is set up so that you can convert directly from the file menu. That way it is very simple and straightforward to use.

Let me know if I can help any further.

Kind regards

Ger
