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>

</font>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.
