I am looking to take 1000 pages and have them scanned into a searchable PDF.

I have an optical character recognition scanner at work, but I don't want to deal with doing 1000 pages.

Any suggestions on where to get this done?

Buddy and I were just talking about this tonight. I can't volunteer his services if he has (I know they sell this as a product), so must ask, any lubrication to be had? Pages in good shape?

Everything is in fantastic shape, my issue is the person who did it won't give me the soft copy because of "IP" even though I paid for it.

the time you spend looking for it, you could've just started converting it on the scanner.

Seems odd they won't give it considering you paid for it. But given their hesitation, can there be any blow-back on you for creating a digital copy?

Usually those don't convert to a searchable PDF

The things you learn along the path of starting your own business.

Did you also know graphic designers don't give the source files where you can see the layers, etc in terms of how they made the final image. You are only paying for the final image brah, can't have the "IP"

Take physical paper, feed it into scanner, get PDF, run it through Adobe/Finereader.

I've ripped textbooks before into searchable PDF.

Heh, so my buddy..
Same guy I just referenced in your other thread. May be worth a no obligation call. I get nothing, he's great that's all.
