PDF OCR is a simple drag-and-drop utility for Mac OS X that converts your PDFs and images into text documents or searchable PDF files. It uses advanced OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract the text of the PDF even if that text is contained in an image. This is particularly useful for dealing with PDFs that were created via a Scan-to-PDF function in a scanner or photo copier.

Features:

• Works with any PDF, whether it is a scanned PDF, or a PDF generated from a document.
• Easy drag and drop interface.
• Support for multi-column documents and advanced formatting

How it works:
• Drag the PDF that you want to convert onto PDF OCR X.
• Select your conversion settings (e.g. language, output format, etc...)
• PDF OCR X converts your document to text or searchable PDF.

Limitations: Community Freeware version is limited to single-page images and PDFs. Paid Enterprise Version for $29.99 has no PDF size limit.
