<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, currently our student workers are using Adobe Acrobat Reader for splitting books into chapters and ABBYY for making any necessary edits. Most of the time we're just using Acrobat to split the book into chapters by printing each
chapter to a separate PDF then running it through ABBYY for OCR.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have an old version of ABBYY, version 11. Would there be any benefits to upgrading to the latest version? Obviously it's newer, but are there any compelling reasons? Also, is there any reason to use ABBYY instead of Adobe Acrobat
Pro, which some people in my office are asking for? <o:p></o:p></p>
