[Athen] Fixing a PDF

[Robert Spangler]

Thanks, everyone.  For a small Flyer like this, Susan's idea of just
running it through ABBYY worked.  I didn't know that part of the OCR
function in ABBYY fixed the order of things, so that must mean that it does
its own tagging?  Either way - it worked well for this example, but I'm
sure that manual tagging would be necessary for a longer, more complex
document.
