<HELP> Convert PDF image to text --- ??OCR

[a_medico]

I have few documents in pdf format... but even the text is in image (?scanned) format..

I'd like to use copy-paste functions which i cant do right now because of the image pdf format. Is there any software with which I can convert the image (scanned) pdf format to text pdf format? .. the resulting file shud be pdf itself and I shud be able to copy the text on the clipboard.

regards

ps - i just heard somethg called as OCR can do it... can anybody suggest a best OCR around with preferably less size?

shareware will do.

ABBYY finereader 8 is the software you are looking for but it is really expensive...
