How to convert scanned book page to editable PDF?
My dad's got an old how-to book he wrote in the late '70s. It's got great content, lots of diagrams and pictures, and we're interested in making it into a PDF to sell online.
I've got Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, and it does OCR just fine -- except that I can't figure out how to change the font of the text! Every page is a combination of images and text, and I basically want to convert each scanned page into an editable document with the same layout of the original document. (The font in the book is a little dated.)
Does anyone have any tips on how to do this -- automatically convert a scanned book page into an easy-to-edit PDF document that keeps all formatting (images, paragraph layout, etc) intact?
Thanks!
