So this tool just creates a simple PDF containing all the G4 TIFFs?
This morning I was looking at the 20K+ scanned pages of documents
I received recently. They're all G4 TIFF, about 800 megs worth.
The scans are quite clean, but it's just directories of loose files,
page0001.tif, page0002.tif, etc.
I was trying to think of a more friendly way to organize them on
two CD-Rs. I like the idea of HTML on a CD, I think it'll survive
as readable for at least another decade.
TIFF-based multi-page single-linked PDFs would be good, but
OCR'd and searchable in conjunction with the bitmap would be even better.
I've got Acrobat 4.0 for my Mac G4, but that doesn't OCR, does it?
