MacBook Air 10.11 El Capitan - Nov 27, 2016

Just used PDF OCR X with a scanned PDF - grayscale 300dpi. Worked great! One minor typo - a “J” was converted to an “I”.
Haven’t used OCR in many years. This worked better than I remember. Software even tried to convert the handwriting - worked on some of the numbers!
If I do more OCR, will purchase software.
