Adobe does not convert OCR characters when converting a PDF to a Word document. This is an important feature to many people. Other PDF software offers this. Adobe needs to realize the importance of this feature that has been offered for over a decade by other software companies.

As Abbyy states "Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is a technology that enables you to convert different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into editable and searchable data."

If Abbyy can do it, why can't Adobe? I will have to use Abbyy for now. Maybe, in the future, Adobe will be able to come into modern PDF conversions. Then, I will subscribe.
