[nobe-l] PDF reading exploration results

[Kathy Nimmer]

Hello,
  I investigated. On my computer, we have Adobe Pro 11. That is what works 
so well in translating and reading the scanned PDFs. Thanks.

Curious as to whether this was Adobe Pro DC as I was just told on Friday by 
a Freedom Scientific tech who was tandem on my computer that the DC versions 
were not supported and especially not to use the OCR functions. Adobe XI was 
the more recommended and supported version.
