Thanks, Antonio - this is definitely a contender, depending upon the cost of the SDK.
>Steve, depending on volume Abbyy Finereader integrates a Hot Folder tool that I believe matches your requirements for one-time payment of 300 to 1500 Euros.

>>I'm looking for a way to OCR existing documents in a VFP system before exporting to a document manager. The files are stored in a windows folder, so could be handled in a variety of ways. I already use iTextSharp to fill pdf forms and have Debenu Quick PDF, but neither of those tools seem to do OCR. The Document Management company wants to charge $2500 up front and $500 annually for a watch folder setup. I'm looking for a program with no continuing fee that could be fired programmatically.
