Are there any known issues with memory usage rising (and crashing a system) when searching a pdf after it has had the OCR tool run on an image? The problem takes place anytime there are more than 5-10 scanned images that are converted by the OCR tool and is taking place on a server that has more than 2 gigs of RAM.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0.9, Windows

I've seen some periodic crashes using the Search panel. Not all have been related to OCR.

You might want to report the problem to Adobe Tech Support so they can log it and hopefully provide a fix in the next maintenance upgrade.
