[Athen] pdf problems

[Howard Kramer]

Stacy,

I believe you'll need something like OMNIpage to convert this file. When
I've had this problem, this has been my only workaround.

Yes, I'm using nothing but Acrobat for the entire process, and followed
the prompts on the dialogue boxes to access the OCR process.

To answer an earlier question - I didn't go straight from TIFF because
there are 632 TIFF files and merging them into one pdf is so much
handier :)

I would love to have a better program.  Maybe this little glitch will
turn out to be a good reason to get one ;)

Thanks again -
Stacy
