[blindLaw] using omnipage to convert pdfs to word

[Laura Wolk]

This is all really helpful. If I just need to convert one file in FineReader, I go to the context menu in the folder where the file resides and select the option convert with findReader . So I never actually have to open the PDF. Can you do something similar with OmniPage? Is that what you all are referring to with right clicking from the file menu? Also, could somebody write me off list and explain to me how you batch convert files using either program? meaning, how do you select the files that you want to convert in the batch?
