Hi.
I can't get the OCR facility to work on either of my PC's.
They are both running windows XP pro.

I'm using Acrobat version 7 pro which came as part of 'Adobe creative suite 2 premium'

What happens is this:
1) I go to File > Create PDF > From Scanner
2) I select 'Recognise Text using OCR'
3) I select 'Scan'

The scanner starts working but the adobe application freezes and I get the 'this program is not responding' dialogue box and I have to close the whole application down.

Does anyone know if there is a standard glitch in the software?
It just seems odd that it doesn't work on either of my PC's, especially as I had no problem with acrobat version 4.
