Our office is rapidly expanding in the area of scanning documents. We are temporarily using Adobe Acrobat 6 Pro (until we are authorized to purchase more Acrobat 8 Pro seats). Can we scan docs and make them OCR PDF using Acrobat 6 Pro?

Hi --
Quite right. I listed how to do the task using Acrobat 8; some of which isn't available in Acrobat 6.
You can accomplish the same thing in Acrobat 6 following these steps:
1. Choose Create PDF > From Scan. In the dialog box, select a scanner, page format, and destination; your scanner's interface displays.
2. Set options in the scanner settings, and follow the process for your particular scanner to complete the scan.
3. Click Done and save the PDF file.
Next, use the OCR process to convert the scanned image PDF to text, following these steps:
1. Choose Tools > Paper Capture. In the resulting dialog box, click Edit to open the Paper Capture Settings dialog box, and choose the options you want to use.
2. Click OK to close the dialog box, returning to the main Paper Capture dialog box. Click OK to start the capture.
Hope that helps.
