<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">There was an extended conversation about Abbyy Fine Reader version
9 on this or another mailing list recently. The problem with Abbyy Version 9 is
the size of the files produced in the scanning process. The general consensus is
that it is safest to stay with version 8 for the time being especially when
scanning textbooks and other large items.
