<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings All,<br>
I'm considering upgrading to Abbyy version 9.0, but am curious if you have any
idea how much larger is "somewhat larger" when one uses the process
of scanning to TIFF and then loading the file into FineReader as an
image. It sounds like it might not be the 10 times larger that Jim Marks
experienced, but do you think it's 2 times, 3 times, etc.? Not looking
for absolute figures, just wondering if the size is significant enough to not
upgrade at this point. <br>
<br>
Thoughts? To upgrade or not to upgrade? We are currently using
version 7.0 and storage is not currently an issue.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

</span>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. <br>
