I'm posting this to warn others who are using Omnipage to produce PDFs in the image-over-text format, and prompt them, if they are affected, to moan to Scansoft, who acknowledge the problem but say I'm the first to report it. What Omnipage does is occasionally put a space in words near the end of a line. I haven't tested whether it is because line lengths are short or what. It's not intrinsic in the Omnipage main engine because looking at the text in Omnipage's own text editor shows it not having these spaces; it's the conversion process that puts them in. I've got a good idea why it does this, but it's certainly annoying. Don't tell me to use Acrobat's built-in Capture; it's a lot slower and apart from the error above, worse at OCR. -- Please send email responses to: owenathome@rsnz.govt.nz , not to erewhon@rsnz.govt.nz
